NEW ORLEANS -- Monday nights national championship game will be the second time this season Kentucky and Kansas meet with all of college basketball watching.http://www.germanynationalshop.com/Matthias-Ginter-Germany-Jersey/ . The first matchup was in mid-November at Madison Square Garden as part of a doubleheader. Second-ranked Kentucky beat No. 12 Kansas 75-65, but it wasnt the featured game. That happened to be the night Duke beat Michigan State 74-69 to give Mike Krzyzewski his 903rd career victory, the one that moved him past Bob Knight to the top of Division Is all-time list for mens basketball. This time around the Wildcats and Jayhawks are the main attraction. Five months ago, sophomores Doron Lamb and Terrence Jones led the Wildcats to the victory with Anthony Davis, one of three freshmen starters, having seven of the teams 13 blocked shots. Kentucky wasnt very smooth offensively that day, committing 19 turnovers, a figure they topped only twice all season. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist had 12 points and nine rebounds for Kentucky, while fellow freshman Marquis Teague also scored 12 points. Tyshawn Taylor scored 22 points to lead the Jayhawks, while Thomas Robinson added 11 points and 12 rebounds before fouling out with 3:31 to go. Taylor proved to be a pretty good analyst with his postgame assessment. "Really, really, really talented one through seven. Two or three games in, theyre going to be really, really good once they get more practice and more reps," he said then. "A lot of the guys are young still. I think theyre going to be amazing." Kentucky shot 51 per cent from the field including 7 of 15 3-point attempts. Kansas shot just 33.9 per cent and made only 4 of 15 from beyond the arc. Both teams are a lot different now, especially on defence, and the players who were so new to college basketball then are grizzled veterans with almost 40 games under their belts. On Sunday, Davis, the AP player of the year, said his biggest memory of the November game is that Robinson, also a first-team all-America, was saddled by foul trouble. "I know how that is," Davis said. "Its hard to play. You cant be aggressive." Robinson will approach this game differently. "The first time we played Kentucky I allowed them to do their best to me emotionally and physically. I played a horrible game," he said Sunday. "The biggest part of why we lost that game is because I was kind of selfish and tried to do everything by myself. I cant let that happen in this game. In fact, I wont let that happen this game." Jones was more down the middle. "Its hard to judge this game with that game," he said Sunday. "Its hard to do when teams get so much better. We have gotten better, and they have gotten better." http://www.germanynationalshop.com/Mats-Hummels-Germany-Jersey/.twitter.com/xBTpoAKLJk — Daryl Zerr (@darylzerr) May 29, 2014 @BarDown I give to you the @SquirrelsNCHL aka the Fighting Squirels.http://www.germanynationalshop.com/Joshua-Kimmich-Germany-Jersey/ . -- On an afternoon in which three Georgetown players fouled out and his team sent No.Detroit Red Wings sniper Pavel Datsyuk is optimistic ahead of an MRI scheduled for Wednesday on his shoulder. Datsyuk, 36, was hit hard into the boards by Pittsburgh Penguins defenceman Rob Scuderi during Monday nights preseason win at the Consol Energy Center. Datsyuk also scored in the game. "Its too early to say anything," Datsyuk told MLive.com. "Im not sure. After the first night, its not too bad. I just think it could be worsse.http://www.germanynationalshop.com/Mario-Gotze-Germany-Jersey/. . Im happy right now." TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun spoke to Red Wings coach Mike Babcock on Tuesday, who said that the team is a little bit less concerned than they were on Monday night, but wont know anything for sure until Datsyuks test results are in. Datsyuk missed 67 regular season games last year. Red Wings winger Darren Helm was also injured in Mondays game, suffering a broken nose.Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys ' ' '
