The Magical number 2:12. That is how much time Memphis needed to burn through to become national champions. Big Problem: Kansas did not want to end their season with a 60-51 deficit. Sherron Collins' play was the turning point for the Jayhawks run when he stole the ball from Antonio Anderson and got the ball back froms several passes and nailed the three-point shot. Along with Kansas's outstanding play, Memphis missed 4 of their last 5 free throws in regulation. No one can take anything from Kansas. They finally win their 3rd National Championship since Danny and the Miracles in 1988. Mario Chalmers' clutch shot with 2.1 seconds remaining on the clock will be remembered as one of the greatest shots ever in tournament history and be a yearly highlight of great shots in March Madness' history. He will be praised as a god for many years to come.
Kansas should be considered in the upper echelon of teams. Many analysts say they have no future all-stars or All-Americans, but they were a TEAM, none better than them. I have enjoyed watching them play over the years but likely Rush, Arthur, Chalmers, and Collins will test the NBA waters and they lose five seniors. Russell Robinson, Sasha Kaun, Darnell Jackson, Jeremy Case, and Rodrick Stewart, who sadly injured his knee before the Final Four and could not play.
The Kansas fans deserve this one after several Final Four disappointments, in particular Kansas shooting an abysmal 12 for 30 in the 2003 National Championship game vs. Melo' and the Orangemen. ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK KU!!!!!
How about Roy Williams' Jayhawk sticker on his sweatshirt. I think that was stupid. His team just got owned by Kansas two days earlier and Jayhawks fans still have hard feelings towards him. I know many North Carolina Tar Heels fans were irritated with what Roy displayed and I understand. It was okay for him to go to the game but he could have easily chosen not to wear the Jayhawk emblem.
