What a Game

That game was fantastic. I'd congratulate Kansas, but I'm sure Roy already has congratulated them plenty. Memphis had the game in hand, but Kansas stormed back. Chalmers was crazy clutch, not just on that 3, but on all of his free throws down the stretch. Additionally, Calipari needs to have his players foul Chalmers before he can take that shot at the end. 2 Free Throws cannot beat you when you are up 3.

Also....

I thought Free Throw shooting would cost Memphis. I've said it for weeks now. They had me fooled into thinking it was not a problem anymore. Then CDR and Rose missed 4 out of the last 5. That cost them the game right there. As well as CDR played, and Rose played in the 2nd half, those free throws cost them for sure. The Tigers unsung hero was Dozier, who played awesome. Too bad Kansas just willed there way to victory. Maybe next season Calipari will work on fundamentals like free throw shooting and situational defense.

The big question for Kansas now is, will Self stick around? Should be interesting, as T. Boone Pickens will probably offer him a small fortune to jump ship to OK State.

What a game to end a mediocre tournament. I'm already excited for next year.
