1.  Who won the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship game?





2.  Who lost?


3.  What was the final score?


4.  Who was the leading scorer from the winning team?

1. Duke won the championship
2. Wisconsin lost
3. The final score was 63-68
4. Guard Tyus Jones scored the most points for the Blue Devils with 23
5.Tyus Jones scored 19 points in the second half off of threes and driving to the basket for layups, shooting 67 percent behind the line.
6. In my opinion Justice Winslow was the most outstanding defender because of his presence in the paint with 9 rebounds, 3 blocks, and a steal.
7. Frank Kaminsky Scored the most points for Wisconsin with 21
8. Kaminsky scored most of his points with lay ups and close range shots in the post
9. Frank Kaminsky was also the best defender on his team in the Championship, with 12 rebounds, a block, and a steal.
10. I think the Duke was the more talented team all around. Their defense proved better then Wisconsin's offense, forcing turnovers that lead to Duke conversions on the other end. They had a better bench and Wisconsin couldn't get many stops on defense. That is why Duke won the game.

1. The Duke Blue Devils won this year's championship.

2. The Wisconsin Badgers lost this year's championship.

3. The final score was 68-63.

4. Tyus Jones was Duke's leading scorer, scoring 23.

5. Tyus Jones scored 6 points from Three Pointers, 7 from Free Throws, and 10 points from Two Pointers.

6. Frank Kaminsky led the Badgers with 21 points.

7. Frank Kaminsky scored 6 points from Three Pointers, 5 points from Free Throws, and 10 points from Two Pointers.

8. I think Amile Jefferson was the best Defensive Player for Duke, although the whole team played great defense. With Jahlil Okafor picking up his 4th foul with a lot of time left in the 2nd half, Amile Jefferson took on the huge role of playing defense on Kaminsky. Jeffersson was extremely effective, and was able to stop Kaminsky, enabling the Duke comeback.

9. I do think that the more talented team won. Duke was great offensively all season long. They had great shooters, a great point guard, and an exceptional inside presence. Thay had a great offense all season. Where they really struggled was on defense. Come tournament time, however, they transformed. They were beginning to win games because of their defend, not only their offense. By the end of the tournament, they were a great team, with talented players, a great coach, chemistry, and a lot of teamwork, and they had both a great offense, and a great defense. Duke deserved to win the game, and I am glad they did.

Duke won the men's NCAA men's basketball championship. Wisconsin lost with the final score of 63 to 68. Tyus Jones scored the most points for Duke with 23 points primarily from three-pointers. Frank Kaminsky was the leading player from Wisconsin with 21 points mostly from jump shots. The best defense of player from Duke was definitely Jahil Okafor with his great defense against Frank Kaminsky. I believe the most talented team did not win or even go to the NCAA men's championship game. Kentucky should've won due to their outstanding defense and star players

1. Duke
2.Wisconsin
3.Win 63:68 Duke
4.Tyus Jones. with 23pts
5.I think his scoring is pretty average, he hits 7-7 form FT and made 2-3 from 3 point line.
6.Frank Kaminsky
7.I didn't watch the entire game but since he got 12 boards i think most of his score came from under the basket or mid range. But he did made 2-4 3 pointer.
8.Justise Winslow. Because he not only got 9 rebounds but also 3 blocks and 1 steal.
9. I thought Duke has more talent and they won. Because Duke has a lot of players that can play great D and also score. I mean Frank is awesome but his teammate is not as good as Duke's player.

1) Duke
2) Wisconsin
3)68-63
4) Tyus Jones
5) Drives and free throws, also some late 3s
6) Frank Kaminsky
7) Layups and Free throws
8) Justise Winslow because he did a good job protecting the rim for duke and also guarded some shooters on the perimeter
9) I think the most talented team won because Duke clearly has more NBA-level talent than Wisconsin, with players like Jahlil Okafor and Winslow being projected as top-5 draft picks, and Tyus Jones and Quinn Cook also getting draft looks, while Wisconsin only has Sam Dekker and Kaminsky.

1.Duke won the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship game.

2.Michigan State and Wisconsin lost.

3.The final score was 63-68.

4.Tyus Jones scored the most points with 23.

5.Tyus scored most of his points with three-pointers and lay-ups with a shooting percentage of 67.

7.Frank Kaminsky or Frank the Tank scored 21 points, the most points on Wisconsin.

8.Frank the Tank scored most of his points with a combination of a few three-pointers,some free-throws,and a lot of two-pointers.

9.In my opinion,I think Frank the Tank is the best defensive player on the winning team because he had 12 blocks!!!! I mean no wonder why they call him Frank the Tank.

10.I think the most talented team won because obviously they are talented as well as a very good roster of players and it looked like they put enough effort in winning the championship so I think they did deserve to win the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship game.
