‘‘Twas the Night Before the Final Four

[KembaSlice]

'Twas the night of the Final Four, the stage was set,
For UConn Huskies and Alabama to met.
With Clingan in the paint, a towering force,
Blocking shots with authority, staying on course.

Castle, a stalwart on defense's domain,
Guarding the perimeter with skill and disdain.
No easy drives, no open lanes to explore,
For Castle's defense was an impenetrable lore.

And Spencer, the sharpshooter, deadly from range,
Making threes rain, causing the crowd to estrange.
With every shot launched, the net would sway,
Spencer's precision lighting up the fray.

As the game unfolded, each player in sync,
Clingan's blocks, Castle's defense, and Spencer's brink.
Their unity evident, their teamwork profound,
Guided by passion, victory was bound.

When the final buzzer sounded, the arena erupted in cheer,
For the UConn Huskies, victory was near.
Their defense impenetrable, their offense sublime,
A testament to teamwork, a symbol of prime.

So here's to the Huskies, champions of the night,
Their victory shining with undying light.
In the annals of basketball lore, their legend shall beam,
With Clingan's blocks, Castle's defense, and Spencer's dream.

Lest we forget Tristan,
Our captain, all american,
There’s no team we can’t beat
When he stuffs the statsheet.
He returned for a second season
Another championship’s a good reason
Who’s the best point guard in UConn history?
The answer’s no longer a mystery.
