UConn goes with the same starting lineup of its last few games: Kemba Walker, Jeremy Lamb, Roscoe Smith, Alex Oriakhi, Tyler Olander.
No surprises from Kentucky, either: Darius Miller, Brandon Knight, DeAndre Liggins, Terrence Jones, Josh Harrellson.
Tonight's officials are Les Jones, John "Don't Call Me Tim" Higgins and Mark Whitehead.
Kemba Walker was named a first team All-American by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC). This makes him a consensus All-American, as he also earned the honors from USBWA, Sporting News, AP and the Los Angeles Athletic Club.
Here are the NABC All-America teams:
G Kemba Walker – Connecticut
G Nolan Smith – Duke
G Jimmer Fredette – BYU
F/C Jajuan Johnson – Purdue
C Jared Sullinger – Ohio State
Second Team All-Americans
G Ben Hansbrough – Notre Dame
F Kyle Singler – Duke
F Marcus Morris – Kansas
F Derrick Williams – Arizona
F Jordan Hamilton – Texas
Derrick Williams second team? East Coast media bias!

Conventional wisdom -- confirmed by sources within UConn's program -- is that Kevin Ollie would succeed Jim Calhoun whenever Calhoun decides to retire. We can guarantee here's one thing Ollie can still bring that Calhoun can't:
Here are the stories from today's Register: a game advance in which we ponder whether this is Calhoun's greatest coaching performance yet, and a notebook which talks about DeAndre Liggins ready to guard Kemba Walker, Glen Miller's interest in the Colgate job and other items.
And, of course, no UConn trip to the Final Four would be complete without Nate Miles surfacing.
Finally, here's a capsule breaking down the matchups between UConn and Kentucky.
