Won and Done: Kentucky Beats Kansas for NCAA Title Before his confetti-flecked suit gets back from the cleaners, John Calipari will be on the road. Such is life for a coach who recruits all that NBA-ready talent - especially when those players get in the habit of bringing championships back to their ol' Kentucky home. Cal's latest group of one-and-doners doesn't have much left to prove at this level. Despite a rough shooting night by the best of Kentucky's talented freshmen, Anthony Davis, the Wildcats defeated Kansas 67-59 on Monday night to win their eighth national title, and first since 1998. "What I'm hoping is there are six first-rounders on this team," Calipari said. I'm fine with that. That's why I've got to go recruiting on Friday. Among those he could be looking to replace: Doron Lamb, a sophomore with first-round-draft-pick potential, who led the Wildcats with 22 points, including back-to-back 3-pointers midway through the second half that shut down one of Kansas' many rallies. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, a probable lottery pick, who scored all 11 of his points in the first half, while the Wildcats (38-2) were building an 18-point lead. Terrence Jones (nine points, seven rebounds), Marquis Teague (14 points) and Darius Miller (two of Kentucky's 11 blocked shots) are in the mix, too. And then there's Davis, who might have had the most dominating six-point night in the history of college basketball, earning the nod as the most outstanding player. Midway through the first half, he was scoreless but still on pace for a triple-double. Over the next few weeks, Davis will decide whether to return to college - unlikely - or head to the NBA, where he'll probably be the top pick. Kidd-Gilchrist could go second. Kansas (32-7) also has a lottery pick in AP All-American Thomas Robinson. He was huge in the second half, while the Jayhawks were making one of those desperate comebacks that have become their trademark this year. This time, KU trimmed Kentucky's lead to five with 1:37 left. But the Wildcats made five free throws down the stretch to seal the win. "It (stinks) that we have to be down 14 before we want to start fighting," KU guard Tyshawn Taylor said. Guess that's kind of what happened. So, the Jayhawks settled for the "B" League title this year, as Calipari avenged a final-game loss to Bill Self back in 2008 when Cal was coaching Memphis.
