You don't know. Kansas could play with Memphis
And Memphis can do more than play with Kansas. That's what you're forgetting.

Honestly, anybody who thinks Memphis just "got lucky" or that the teams they played "just didn't play well" are out of their minds. I didn't pick Memphis because of their free throw shooting. Problem is, they're so good that they could go 0/20 and they could win the game.

Really, saying Memphis won because UCLA and Texas played awful is quite frankly a load of crap. If you saw even two seconds of either game you'd know Memphis WON those games.

Really, I would just stop the Memphis hate because it's clear they've fed off of that and SMASHED every single team in their way (besides Miss St., lol).

I like Kansas better than Memphis, but I must say I hope Memphis DESTROYS them, because the trash they still get is unbelievable and ridiculous.

I would disagree though, Memphis had a difficult time stopping Love when he actually got the ball. However, Calipari had an incredible strategy for not letting him get the ball. Holding Collison to 2 points was also incredible.

But really, just admit Memphis deserves to be where they are. Texas and UCLA are obviously inferior and they have proven it. Period.

I hate to say it, but Memphis does deserve it. This is the first time in YEARS they have been. And they have a good new coach. I really hope they win know.
Though UNC was better, this was totally a fluke lol.

Remember the way I was, for me.

Let's see who becomes the National Champs. The game is on tonight
you just...won't let go of that grudge :/

Memphis could be shut out and they deserve every game they've won.

I will be sure to rub it in if Memphis wins, and I really am hoping they beat up Kansas.

But Texas didn't just not show up, it was that Memphis shut them down and embarrassed them.

Speaking of Memphis...

The very reason I did not pick them very much killed them. The Free throws...ouch. I'm very happy for Bill Self though, Billy Packer actually got something right in saying how great a coaching job he did at the end.

Also, I'm a very big OSU Buckeyes fan...and when Joey Dorsey before our elite Eight game last year was trashing Greg Oden and saying "I am Goliath," I could only chuckle. It was oh so interesting that "Goliath" was totally POUNDED on the inside by players not of Oden's caliber (and his 2 points against us last year...lol). I must say "Goliath" certainly had a rough night.

I'm sorry, I just hate when people talk of big game and then do nothing.

anyways, Memphis had that game. Kansas outplayed them, but they fell apart and Memphis took that lead...and somehow THEY fell apart. I saw IU/Minn in person at the Big ten tournament this year in Indy, but barring that game I have never seen a wackier game than that...wow.

*sigh* well congrats on becoming NCAA champs, Kansas. Yeah, it was strange with all the changes and such, fall apart here fall apart there.

No one here (in the poll in the beginning) thought kansas had the title. Incredible game...

I'm disappointed memphis lost, I really wish they won that game. Two giant let downs this year, first my patriots then my champ pick memphis. *shrugs*

Thank you ~Sweet Dawn~ for making this thread, it was a lot of fun, so thanks...

Indeed it was fun. The NCAA Tournament is the best playoff system in sports. Period.

Also, a quick shout out to the NIT champs, the OSU Buckeyes! We're the 66th best team in the land!!! (Though we HAVE to be better than Miss. Valley State and Austin Peay...)
