The madness ends here: Kentucky and UConn are the last two teams standing in the 2014 NCAA Tournament. A year ago, neither even reached the field of 68. On Monday night, one of them will be cut down the nets as the national champion.

vs.
No. 8 Kentucky Wildcats
(29-10, 12-6 SEC)
Tip-Off Time: 9:10 PM ET

With five freshman starters, Kentucky took a difficult and thrilling road to national championship game. After handing No. 1 Wichita State its first loss in a third-round thriller, the young Wildcats eliminated the 2013 champs (Louisville) and the 2013 runner-up (Michigan) to reach the Final Four. In the national semifinal, Kentucky guard Aaron Harrison hit another game-winning shot to defeat No. 2 Wisconsin.

Led by second-year head coach Kevin Ollie, UConn became the first seventh-seeded team to reach the title game. With point guard Shabazz Napier and forward DeAndre Daniels leading the way, the Huskies knocked out two No. 1 seeds (Virginia and Florida), plus No. 4 Michigan State on their way to the final game.
