ARLINGTON, Texas -- Connecticuts 2011 national championship has been characterized as a one-man effort by Kemba Walker. Marcell Dareus Jersey . Good as he was, he still needed help from teammates Jeremy Lamb, Alex Oriakhi and Shabazz Napier. Now that its Napiers turn, the same gotta-have-help method has applied -- this time with DeAndre Daniels and Ryan Boatright taking turns at the wheel. Daniels carried UConn out of an early funk, Boatright bulled around Floridas guard at both ends and the Huskies are headed back to the national championship game after a 63-53 victory over the Gators in the Final Four Saturday night. Daniels had 20 points on 9-of-14 shooting and 10 rebounds, and Boatright finished with 13 points to help finish off Floridas 30-game winning streak and send the seventh-seeded Huskies into Mondays title game against Kentucky. "Weve been saying all year that weve got a complete team," Boatright said. "Its not a one-man team. Its not a two-man team. Weve got a complete team." Napier has been UConns unquestioned leader and had a solid night after a slow start, finishing with 12 points, six assists and four steals. But stars often need an occasional lift from their sidekicks, and Daniels and Boatright both did that against Florida (36-3). Daniels, the talented-but-sometimes-inconsistent forward, helped the Huskies (31-8) dig out of an early hole by scoring inside and out. He also hit a couple of big shots down the stretch to prevent the Gators from mounting a comeback. Boatright was like a bulldog all night, consistently getting inside Floridas defence and combining with Napier to hold ailing Gators star Scottie Wilbekin (cramps) to four points and one assist. "I dont know if you all keep thinking its a one-man team, but its not," UConn coach Kevin Ollie said. "Shabazz is the first one to tell you and I keep telling everybody its not just him." During the 2011 run, Walker was the unquestioned lead Husky. But Lamb had some big scoring games during the title run, Oriakhi manhandled opposing big men in the paint and Napier, the confident-but-still-learning freshman, chipped in to earn a championship ring. This has been Napiers team from the start and hes come through as a star player should, including a game-winning jumper to beat Florida back on Dec. 2 -- the Gators last loss. In the rematch, Napier had a hard time with Floridas aggressive switching on defence, unable to find seams into the lane. UConn fell into holes of 7-0 and 16-4, and Napier didnt score until hitting a 3-pointer with 3:54 left in the first half. Daniels led the charge back. The junior has shown off flashes of his athleticism some games, disappearing in others. Its been nothing but the good Daniels in the NCAA tournament, though, including a 27-point, 10-rebound game against Iowa State in Sweet 16. Spurred by a conversation with former UConn coach Jim Calhoun before the national semifinal game, Daniels was at his active best, sailing in for a dunk during an 11-0 run and dropping in a pair of 3-pointers in the first half. Daniels continued to be a matchup problem for Florida in the second half, keeping the Gators at bay, including a long jumper that put the Huskies up 57-47 with 2 1/2 minutes left. "I talked to Coach Calhoun and he was like, Man, nobody is talking about you," Daniels said. "All I said was not to worry about it because everybody was going to be talking about me after today." Boatright, too. The junior has been interchangeable with Napier in the backcourt, playing shooting guard when Napier runs the point, leading the team when Napier shifts to the two spot or heads to the bench. He also turned into UConns point-guard stopper, hounding the opposing teams floor leader into mistakes. Boatright had a quiet first half before starting to find seams in Floridas defence. He got to the rim a few times without much hassle against the long Gators and was able to find open shooters when they did cut off his drives. Behind Boatright and Daniels, UConn scored all but two of its baskets inside the lane. Boatright also helped lead the charge against Wilbekin, adding to his cramping woes by combining with Napier to hound his every step. "It all starts with Boatright," Florida coach Billy Donovan said of UConns defence. "He does a great job of pressuring the ball." When it was over, the Huskies again were underdogs headed to the national championship -- thanks to a pair of sidekicks helping the star get there.

Kershaw, who also earned the title after throwing his first career no-hitter in June, had a 1. http://www.jaguarsfansclub.com/Black-Keelan-Cole-Jaguars-Jersey.html?cat=976 . Rudy Gay made the tying basket in regulation and a 3-pointer in overtime that gave Sacramento the lead for good, and Fredette scored a career-high 24 points to help the Kings beat the Knicks 106-101 on Wednesday night. PARIS -- Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic will miss the return leg of the Champions League quarterfinals against Chelsea because of a thigh tear. Ibrahimovic, who has scored 40 goals this season, is also likely to miss the semifinals later this month if PSG advances. The French club won the first leg 3-1. Ibrahimovic fell to the ground clutching his leg midway through the second half of Wednesdays match and then limped off. PSG said in a statement Friday that tests confirmed "the presence of a muscle lesion" at the back of Ibrahimovics right thigh. "Hes out for the weeks to come. We will have to wait for thhe doctor to analyze the results," PSG coach Laurent Blanc said. Brandon Linder Jersey. "Its a muscle lesion, delicate but not irreversible. He will be back (in training) with us before too long (and) he will play before the end of the season." Ibrahimovic will likely be replaced at centre forward by Edinson Cavani, who has been unhappy playing in a role wide on the right and now has the chance to play in his preferred role for the next few games. Should PSG qualify next week, it will reach the European Cup semifinals for only the second time. The previous appearance was in 1995, when PSG was knocked out by AC Milan.
