Teo rules with a 1-2 punch that meant the 'Butler' didn't do it
|
 Because the 'Butler' didn't do it afterall, Teo Garcia wore the Shirts & Skins VI crown. At about 2 1/2 years-old, he's definitely the youngest Shirts & Skins champion to date. Teo, seemingly bogged down by a soggy diaper, got a change of trunks in semifinal #1 to pop into eighth place. Up to snuff on his ones and twos (he can go as high as fifteen in either English or Spanish, by the way), the half pint picker hopped up to third at the tipoff of the championship game between Butler and U.Conn and grabbed the title with a sensational 21 point effort in the finale. Earl 'The Toiler' Tilly was a contender from the get-go, and fairly consistently chugged along in the low teens before notching 20 in semifinal #1 to vault into second where the Wenatchee North 'rookie' stuck the rest of the way. The battle for third turned out to be a doozy. Although Bruce Law played Shirts & Skins more like the ups and downs of the stock market than a game of hoops, he was able to knot with Brian Walker, who led the pack throughout most of the quarterfinals and all of the semifinals. Law's 12-point effort made up for Walker's 3-point cushion into the final game which both incorrectly picked to go Butler's way. The last spot for cash boiled down to Walker's 126 total points compared to Law's 158. Ultimately, what has been tabbed as the "ugliest" NCAA championship game in history produced a grand total of just 94 points - 53-41 in favor of Connecticut - which gave the nod to Brian, who previously won Shirts & Skins II. Likewise, Teo's 97 point total is the lowest in Shirts & Skins history...but what do you expect from a 29-month old, for cryin' out loud?
