Pat Spencer’s brother Cam wins national championship with UConn

Cam Spencer, the brother of Warriors guard Pat, won the national championship on Monday with the UConn Huskies.

Although the Golden State Warriors don’t have an alum from Purdue or Conneticuit on the roster, one member of the team has a special rooting interest in Monday’s men’s basketball national championship in Phoenix.

New Warriors two-way guard Pat Spencer is the brother of Uconn Huskies star guard Cam Spencer.

Spencer stuffed the box score, leading the Huskies in rebounds and steals as they secured their second straight national championship and the sixth title for UConn in the last 25 years.

Via @BleacherReport on Twitter:

Spencer tallied 11 points on 5-of-12 shooting from the field to go along with eight rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block in 34 minutes as the Huskies took out Zach Edey and the Boilermakers to end March Madness on Monday night. Behind Spencer and the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player Tristen Newton, UConn beat Purdue, 75-60

Spencer earned All-Big East honors in his only season with UConn, averaging 14.2 points on 48.4% shooting from the field and 44% shooting from the field with 4.9 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 32.8 minutes per game.
