If you missed this game, you missed one of the best ever! Kansas won it all April 7, 2008 against the Memphis Tigers in overtime. The final score was 75-68. The Jayhawks were down by nine with about 2 minutes to go. The ending didn't look good. But luckily, Memphis missed free-throws, and Kansas came back. With 10 seconds left, Collins and Chalmers ran up the court. Collins looked like he'd be trapped but squirmed out of the way of a defender. He dished the ball just in time to Mario Chalmers. Chalmers lined up and hit a huge 3-pointer to tie the game and go to overtime. Kansas finished it up there: NCAA 2008 champions! Brian and I are now on the lookout for some cool Jayhawk shirts. It's about time one of our teams wins! Rock, Chalk, Jayhawk!
Here's a shot for history. Mario Chalmers swishes a three!
