Many were predicting that No. 1 seeds, the Florida Gators, and the No. 2 seeded Wisconsin would be battling it out in tonight's Final, however both came up short when it mattered most.

Even though both UConn and Kentucky were unexpected to reach the final, neither will be star-struck by the big stage and both are renowned for their strong basketball programs. In addition, both teams have experienced success in recent years, with the Huskies winning the national championship in 2011, and the Wildcats winning the 2012 title.

However, historically UConn must rewrite the rules tonight if they are to win the title. No No. 7 seed has ever won the national championship. Villanova are the only other no. 8 seeds to have ever won the title.

Kentucky will be looking for some of their star players to step it up today. Players such as Julius Randle and Aaron Harrison have had great seasons, but now is the time to deliver the big performance and make a name for themselves.

Meanwhile, for UConn, Shabazz Napier has been in phenomenal form this season, and they will be hoping to one more big game from him to see them over the line and take the title.

Forward DeAndre Daniels also had a great game in the Final Four, finishing with 20 points and 10 rebounds against Florida.

He told TBS after the game, "I just wanted to step up big time for my team. I spoke to [former UConn coach] Jim Calhoun yesterday and he said, 'Man, nobody's talking about you.' I said, 'Don't worry, everybody's going to be talking about me after Saturday.' I told him I'm going to go out there and play hard and give it my all…We wanted to come out here and prove everybody wrong because nobody gave us a shot to win this game."
