(fixes typo in headline) * First title for Kentucky’s Calipari * Davis shoots just one of 10Impressive freshman AnthonyDavis struggled to find the hoop but proved dominant in otherphases of the game to lead Kentucky to an eighth nationalbasketball championship with a 67-59 victory over Kansas onMonday. Davis has been brilliant all season and despite connectingon just one-of-10 shots, the tournament drawcard had 16rebounds, six blocks and five assists to power the Wildcats totheir first title since 1998. “It’s not hard to take a backseat, especially when playingwith a great group of guys,” said Davis, who remained scorelesswhen the Wildcats reached halftime with a 41-27 lead. “All these guys could play. I knew I was struggling. So Itold them, ‘I’m going to defend and rebound, you all make allthe points.’ That’s what they did tonight.” Kentucky (38-2) dominated the first half but had to weathera late Kansas rally that cut the advantage to 62-57 on two freethrows by Thomas Robinson with 1:37 left. However, the Wildcats hit five of seven free throws down thestretch to seal the triumph and delight the largely blue-and-white-clad, pro-Kentucky crowd at the Louisiana Superdome. With Davis scoring just six points, guard Doron Lamb pickedup the slack with 22 points on seven of 12 shooting. MarquisTeague added 14 and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist 11. Kentucky coach John Calipari was subdued despite winning hisfirst national title in his fourth Final Four appearance withthree different schools. “I’m glad it’s done,” said Calipari, who has compiled astaggering 102-14 record since arriving in Lexington three yearsago. “Now I can get about my business of coaching basketball andgetting these players to be the best that they can be, helpingyoung people create better lives for themselves and theirfamilies. “And also helping them prepare for life after basketball.” NO MAGIC Kansas (32-7) had problems in their four previous tournamentgames but found a way to win each time. On Monday, the magic ranout. “We been fighting all year, man,” said Jayhawks senior guardTyshawn Taylor, who paced Kansas with 19 points. “We’re hardworking guys. Just tough and want to fight. “It sucks that we have to be down 14 before we want to startfighting. Guess that’s kind of what happened. The fight neverstops with us. We were right there. Right there. “But they’re a great team. Played their hearts out, justlike we did. They came out victorious today.” Thomas Robinson scored 18 points and had 17 rebounds but themuscular All-America forward hit only six-of-17 shots. He tippedhis hat to Davis, who was named the Most Outstanding Player ofthe Final Four. “Anthony is a great player,” he said. “You see he impactedthe game without even scoring today. That’s just what he does.” Kentucky have been the nation’s best team virtually theentire season, losing only to Indiana and to Vanderbilt in thefinals of the Southeastern Conference tournament. The Wildcats have three freshmen and two sophomores in thestarting line-up and while they could potentially win severalmore titles, it is likely some will make the jump to the NBAearly. “This team deserves all the accolades that they’ve beengetting,” Calipari said. “And what I wanted them to show todayis that we were not just a talented team, we were a defensiveteam, and we were a team that shared the ball. “I told them I wanted this to be one for the ages. Go outthere and show everyone what kind of team you are, even thoughwe were young. “It doesn’t matter how young you are, it’s how you playtogether.”
