there is no luck in a game this close. memphis showed a weakness, and Kansas capitalized on it. you can't call a teams ability to take an advantage of an opportunity "Luck". It's just good basketball.
Memphis had the game in the bag- What happened? ahead by 9 points with under 2 minutes! They could not make their free throws when they needed them- Kansas was the opposite from the charity strike. Mario Chalmers was money with the clutch shot- after that- Kansas had all the momentum. Memphis was getting out husseled in the later into the game- coach should have either toke a time out or sub. Congrats Kansas- They deserved the national title. Congrats Memphis- 38 win season- best of all time.
Hey, I'm a Memphis fan till I die, but we just beat ourselves, who woulda thought that the only problem with our team woulda cost us the game, FREE THROWS. But it was Kansas' time congratulations Kansas from the whole Memphis family!
if stephen curry takes the last shot, this disaster never would have happened..but i give kansas credit, they did outplay memphis and had alot of heart...
Look at "Team of Destiny" its the ohio state - Xavier 2nd round game from last year...i swear this game ended exatly like that 1 from when both teams were down by 3 all the way up to the 3 point shots that sent the game into overtime oh btw they both won by 7 :) freaky huh?
KU didn't get lucky. They were playing right with Memphis the entire game, not to mention the fact that they probably lead more than Memphis did. Memphis choked BIG.
1 of the best college championships i've watched. Neither team gave up an i believe the jahawks proved a true champion is gonna defeat you in all aspects of the game
Best game I've seen maybe ever. And Chalmers....man, if I'm on the team, and we need a shooter to be cool in the clutch, I'm giving him the ball. Crazy shot. One for the books.
Memphis played careless at the end of the game, and Kansas thrived on it congrats to Kansas. I think it's Hilarious that it came down to foul shots for Memphis, Classic Finish.
how do you figure that? the only challenge memphis had this year was tennessee who beat them. memphis was beat by a better team, because they arent the best team in the nation.
Good teams will do that. Memphis put up a good game but will forever be known as the biggest choke artist in NCAA history. They had it, but gave KU the opening, and the better team capitalized.
best championship ever
somehow i knew mario was going to make that shot

kansas really controlled the whole game. it was only when they started focusing on CDR and let Rose free that they started to lose control
Chalmers is my savior (and so is CDR, for missing those free throws)
