Gonna have a new, first-time champion, which is fun.
No UConn guys on either roster, but Rick Carlisle played high school (Worcester Academy), college (Maine) and pro (Celtics) in New England.
For OKC, Mark Daignault is a UConn guy who got his start in coaching as a student manager for the here from 2003 to 2007. Calhoun & Blaney saw something in him and really pushed him to go for it. And his team plays defense like an old-school Big East team, so there's that.
Playoffs have been insanely great this year. Even as a heartbroken Celtics fan it's been an amazing postseason.
