If you take only two things away from the 2008 NCAA basketball season it should be 1) Kansas was the best team in the country and 2) Davidson was the best team in North Carolina (and it wasn't even close).
You have to give Bill Self alot of credit for coming up with a picture pefect defensive strategy to force Stephen Curry to give up the ball at the last second, excellent defense by Kansas.
CatsRRoadKill - you had a player AND an assistant coach p*ss their pants during the season (your best in decades). We won another national championship (three more than your school if you can count that high).
Funny that you say KU sucks, because we're, you know, national champions and you're, you know, a loser team who will suck again next year just like usual.
okay im a mizzou fan but i have to say that ku is playing really well. i didnt think that they would beat unc but they looked really impressive. and ill be happy if a big twelve team wins the championship
I agree, but whether deliberate or not a foul should have been called. He attempted to screen and ended up tripping the player he was screening, that is a foul. It really could have been game changing.
Deciding the game because of a foul would have sucked, but if they ended up getting a basket because of the trip it would have been just as bad.
cutewsuangel, that's the same 10 seed that too North Carolina to the wire earlier this season, and won 25 games in a row, and beat the 2 seed BIG EAST CHAMPS(Georgetown) and destroyed the 3 seed Wisconsin Badgers. Davidson is every bit as good as a 2 or 3 seed, why they received a 10 seed is beyond me. They are good.

No one but KU fans believe this garbage, they had one hot player and nothing else. You have beaten NO ONE this year. Please tell me you know KU is known as THE premier choke artists in division 1? Do you rednecks not realize that? That is sad if you don't even know you're own rep.
Oh yea wow like omg KU sure does suck. I mean, all they did was win the Big 12 regular season AND tournament championship (you know, the conference that sent six teams to the tourney). Let's see...13 final fours, four national championships, 51 conference titles, and third all-time in wins. Yup, you called it...KU sure is terrible!
@BTCS1980 I dont know, they may not suck but god they just flop on their faces a lot. Theres no way this game shouldve been this close and then they lose to similar teams in clutch situations like the latest team to know them out of the tournament...i cant even remember what team it was at the moment but it was kinda sad to watch
@eldiablo0684 This is why this is called march madness...if college basketball had a best of 5 or 7 series like NBA postseason does, it would not be exciting and also KU would have won at least 5 or more championships in the last 20 years instead of one. My point being is it doesnt matter...all 64 teans r here cuz they r good and had a decent season...so every game to the final 4 u r playing a team that won at least 20 games that year..so n a one game elimination its anyones game..
@imortality1995 thats kind of my point, most of these teams could be amazing in 7 games series because it doesnt take much to beat a Kansas team. Take UNI for instance, deadly outside shooting that spreads the floor and creates long rebound opportunities, it would be very difficult for that specific KU team to be that specific opponent in any amount of games because of the great equalizer (the three point shot)
@eldiablo0684 no i dont think you r getting my point if it was a 5 or 7 game series it would be advantage KU or any top 3 seed in the tourney...having just to win one game puts all the pressure on the #1 seed and none on a , what was Davidson a 12 seed that year, anyways none on like a Davidson or a UNI squad that could get hot on 3pts for just one game...if Ku played davidson or UNI in a series Ku would win each series by an avr game winning margin of at least 21 pts.....
@imortality1995 ...uhhh yea I actually do get your point, Im saying its not entirely right (nor is it unique). This argument has been made by many people many times "what if there were an nba playoff kind of format to the ncaa tournament then X team would be a shoe in." Im saying this is not entirely the case because Kansas simply cant exploit match up probs very well (especially outside of their conference). They would more than like lose a game 7 to a team like UNI etc
@eldiablo0684 dude if it was a 7 game series for each round...the series would never go past 5 games vs a KU squad like last years.....yes UNI beat KU the 1st game but the next 4 games would be KU sweeping a team like UNI by prob. a average scoring marigin of at least 23....Thats the beauty of this tourney any team like UNI can make a game plan for one game agasint a powerhouse and somehow squek out a win like they did....Do you think UNI would want to see that same KU team again? no
@imortality1995 Like i said previously youre just saying things that you think would be true, Im telling you why its not true based on KU's tendencies on defense again I do believe if UNI were in a 7 game series with Kansas they would not only have a chance to win but they would probably win by double digits in a few games
@eldiablo0684 I do agree that this 08 Davidson team would give Kansas a tough 7 games series...prob would go 6 games with Ku winning....but the Bucknell,Bradley,UNI teams would have lost the 7 game series in no more than 5 games....they might steal a game but no way any of those heavly talented KU teams from any of those years would have lost another game to any of those 3. If you cant recognise that then u fully do not know much about college bball...
Finally. My legs were shaking all day yesterday after the game. That was GREAT defense by sherron collins at 15. Rush got faked and collins was right there. If collins wasn't there he would have shot that and the way he shoots they would have won! I lost my breath when he threw up that shot. I ran outside and yelled Final Four Baby!!!! with the other KU fans on the block! This is the year of the Jayhawk. Beat the tarheels and we are in!!!
Wow, I missed a lot - once I saw the ball wide left and bounce off the rim, I was lifting up any man woman or child I saw while at 23rd St Brewery. Davidson earned some respect, but THIS IS KU'S YEAR!!!
If Richards doesn't run around to get a hand off pass Curry gets a wide open look after that pump fake. *Breathe*
