March Madness 2014 VIDEO: Final Four Recap

By Josh Helmuth

Sports Channel Editor Josh Helmuth tosses out the most impressive stats from this year's UConn national championship team, which includes:

  1. The Huskies' 60-54 win over the Kentucky Wildcats Monday was the first time since 1985 Villanova a team seeded No. 7 or lower won the national championship. It's just the second time in history a team seeded as low has accomplished such a feat. 
  2. Kentucky was a No. 8 seed. The No. 7 vs. No. 8 matchup was the lowest seeded national championship game in history.
  3. UConn was NCAA Tournament ineligible last year due to grades. Talk about sticking it to the 'man.' 
  4. It's UConn's 4th championship since 1999 – most of any team in that span.
  5. UConn has the best winning percentage in the NCAA Tournament since beginning their run in 1999.
