Kansas comes back to send it to overtime. Where will this game rank amongst the greatest championship games ever?

I wouldn't rank it anywhere in the top ten. Maybe top twenty. It just isn't very compelling to me right now.

I am happy for the kids of Kansas. But in all honesty I think Memphis had the better overall team. Dorsey fouling out ended it for Memphis tonight though. :(

My pool money will be in someone else's pocket tomorrow.:p

Kansas coming back from 9 down and hitting a 3 after they'd been shooting under %20 from the arc all game. Best winning by being smart to foul and hit threes. Hitting a 3 with 2.6 seconds to go in regulation. Maybe I'm glorifying it because I just won quite a chunk of change. Up 24 points in my pool before tonight, needing Kansas to win the final 32 point contest. I just won by 56 points (a route). Now all we need is Obama to pull those numbers ;)

I said from the start that there are three things that win championships in basketball. 1. Strong Defense 2. Free throws 3. Three point shooting

Hitting crucial foul shots down the line is what Memphis couldn't do and Kansas did. After blowing it from the outside most of the game Kansas came up big. Hitting the free throws down the stretch in OT was the big difference.

It was a good game.

Hmm, stats... I didn't think that this was a very good game.

I wonder if there are going to be riots at KU tonight.
