Chapter 61 League Championship
The regular seasons of each league have ended one after another, and the championship game will start soon.
The NCAA Alliance is composed of all major and large alliances, and March Madness targets only schools in the first-level alliance.
But even the first-tier league schools are spread all over the United States, NCAA officially allows each league to use different rules to play championship games.
Anyway, the team that entered the championship was the 32 league champions and the 36 wild card teams selected by the organizing committee.
Rules allow different rules, but most leagues use the top eight singles and Taobao system similar to the NBA.
Like the Big East League, the top eight teams advance to the championship game, and then fight in the order of first and second and seventh, until the final champion is decided.
Because wild card teams have very big variables, winning the final championship is the safest way for schools to advance to the championship.
It is precisely because of this that the single-tao tournament championship is not much less exciting than the championship.
The ranking of the Big East League after the regular season.
First place, University of Louisville Cardinals
Second place, Connecticut Husky Dogs
Third place, West Virginia University Mountainers
Fourth place, Georgetown University Marvel Team
Fifth place: St. John's University Red Storm
Sixth place: Marquette University Golden Eagles
Seventh place: Providence Academy Monks Team
Eighth place: Syracuse University Oranges
Kangda will usher in the first round of the match against Providence Academy Monks, whose regular season matches Kangda is one win and one loss.
Kangda has a home advantage and strong performance in the final game, so the probability of their winning game is quite high.
However, because it is a single Taobao competition, the winner will be determined in one game, and the first championship game was full.
Moreover, at the beginning of the game, the fans couldn't sit still and stood watching the game. The atmosphere was quite strong.
Kangda also lived up to fans' expectations, and since the opening game, he kept playing against Providence Academy.
Marshan Brooks, who Tang Tian is still defending, felt very uncomfortable. After the opening, the latter scored only 1 goal in six consecutive attacks.
In the end, Brooks made only 5 of 25 shots in the game, and Kangda also wiped out his opponent 71-51 and easily advanced to the next round.
Walker scored 25 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, Lamb scored 16 points and 3 rebounds, Tang Tian scored 9 points, 5 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block, and Folses scored 8 points and 10 rebounds.
In addition to Console, Louisville University and Georgetown University have advanced one after another, but West Virginia University, ranked third, unexpectedly lost to Marquette University, revealing its first unpopularity since the championship game.
Jimmy Butler, the core of Marquette University, made 14 of 21 shots in the game, scoring 33 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, and his performance was quite eye-catching.
After the first round, the second round of the match was also released. University of Louisville will face Georgetown University and University of Kang will face the upset Marquette University.
Kangda's previous match ended early, and the second round of matches also began early.
Butler performed bravely in the first round, but in the second round, Tang Tian was guarded by the whole game, and he also had to guard Walker on the defensive end, so he consumed a lot of physical strength on both offense and defense.
In the end, Kang Da defeated his opponents and won the game 61-47.
Lamb scored a game-high 22 points and 5 rebounds, Walker scored 16 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, Ori Archie scored 11 points and 11 rebounds, Tang Tian scored 6 points, 6 rebounds, 4 steals and 2 blocks, and Napier, who was a substitute, scored 5 points and 6 assists.
Butler made only 5 of 22 shots under Tang Tian's defense, scoring only 15 points and 3 rebounds, and the shooting percentage of Marquette University's entire team was less than 40%.
After the game, Butler stood on the sidelines with red eyes for a long time, and then left the court sadly after watching the players celebrating Kangda.
This is the NCAA. I don’t know how many stars failed here. For ordinary teams, it is lucky enough to be able to enter the championship.
After that, the game between Louisville and Georgetown University also started.
Louisville ranked first in the list this season, and against other championship teams, they all won more than lost, and they also won 20+ points in the first round. However, after encountering Georgetown, they played very hard. Like Kang Da, they didn't have much way to deal with Monroe.
The game continued to be stalemate until the last few minutes of the second half. Monroe grabbed two offensive rebounds in a row, scoring 6 points in a row and directly killed the game.
In the end, Monroe scored 28 points and 13 rebounds in the whole game and reached the final of the championship game.
Last year, he suffered an uproar in the first round, reached the final this season and even had the chance to enter the championship, which was considered to have completed the final redemption.
The championship final will be held between Condah and Georgetown University, with the match being held at Rensheer Stadium.
Rensheer Stadium is the football stadium of Kangda. This modern stadium has a ceiling function and can accommodate up to 40,000 people to watch the game at the same time.
By the final stage, this is not even enough for Kangda fans.
The competition started on March 8th at 8 pm local time, and the scene was crowded.
The opening ceremony before the game was so loud, and there was even cheering people on the spot.
After the game started, the two teams were extremely anxious.
Georgetown University was able to reach the finals, and except for Monroe, other players were in excellent condition.
The stalemate continued until the last two minutes of the second half.
Monroe's continuous board grabbing helped Georgetown establish a 4-point lead.
The fans on the scene shouted nervously with tremolo.
At the critical moment, Tang Tian was very hearted and scored a buzzer-beating open three-pointer from the outside. Turning back his backup defense caused Monroe to make an offensive foul. Walker then scored 2+1 against Monroe in the frontcourt and directly killed the game.
When Tang Tianbiao made a buzzer-beating three-pointer, the scene was a little out of control. By the time Walker finally scored 2+1, the fans at the entire Rensheer Stadium were already crazy, and their shouts broke through the sky.
Finally, amid the shouts of more than 40,000 people shouting "Connecticut Huskimo Dogs", Kangda defeated his opponent 73-71, and won the final championship of the Big East League championship seven years later, and also locked in a March crazy tournament place.
After the game, Walker knelt on the ground and kissed the court, his eyes red.
From a freshman year to a junior year, only he knows how much he has paid.
Although there is still a long way to go before the final championship of the championship, Kangda has been strong enough this year, and winning this championship is the best proof.
"We are fully prepared. This time we will not disappoint Kangda fans again." At the post-match press conference, Walker's excitement had not yet recovered, and there was a hint of sob in his tone of speech.
Chapter completed!
