I warned you [censored]ers that I had bet on Memphis, if there was a bigger lock that they were going to lose, I don't know what it is.

Chalk it up to the line
Tuesday, April 08, 2008Doug Lesmerises
Plain Dealer Reporter
San Antonio- In the greatest marketing campaign for free-throw shooting videos ever conceived, the Memphis Tigers gave away the NCAA men's basketball title Monday night.
"When you have the kind of lead we had, you're supposed to win the game," Memphis coach John Calipari said. "It's on all of us."
Kansas accepted the gift, made the big shots, stole the momentum and struck a blow for fundamentals in a 75-68 overtime victory, the seventh championship game forced into an extra five minutes and the first since 1997.
 "We made so many plays down the stretch," Kansas coach Bill Self said, "and got the ball into our most clutch player's hands and he delivered."
Down three with 10.8 seconds to play, that player was Mario Chalmers. After a downcourt dash by Sherron Collins, when Memphis tried to foul Collins and didn't get a call, Chalmers took a feed and launched a 3-pointer from the top of the key. That ripped the net cords with 2.1 seconds to play to tie it, 63-63. But it should never have reached that point.
"I just dropped to my knees," said dumbfounded Memphis center Joey Dorsey, watching from the bench after his fifth foul, "because I just knew we were going to cut the nets down."
Almost. Ahead, 60-51, with two minutes to play, the Tigers made a crucial turnover on an inbounds pass that led to a Kansas 3-pointer, then missed four of five foul shots in the final 1:15.

College basketball: Kansas is king
Jayhawks win national title after rally forces overtime

Kansas' Darrell Arthur, right, dunks over Memphis defender Joey Dorse during the first half.
SAN ANTONIO -- So patient for 20 years, Kansas had no problem working an extra five minutes to bring a long-awaited championship back to the heartland. Mario Chalmers hit a three-point basket with 2.1 seconds left in regulation to push the game into overtime, and the Jayhawks grinded it out from there for a 75-68 victory over Memphis last night in one of the best title games in recent memory.
Chalmers' shot pulled Kansas into a tie after being down nine with 2:12 left.
"We got the ball in our most clutch player's hands," Kansas coach Bill Self said, "and he delivered."

Memphis fouls up with title on line

Matt Kleinmann, left, Darrell Arthur, center, and Mario Chalmers celebrate following Kansas' overtime win over Memphis in the national championship game.
SAN ANTONIO -- Clang. Bonk. Boing. That was the awful sound of Memphis letting the NCAA championship game rattle away at the free-throw line last night.
Too bad for the Tigers that they lived up to their reputation at the end -- a wonderful team that simply couldn't hit big free throws.
Given a chance to put away Kansas, Chris Douglas-Roberts and Derrick Rose made just 1 of 5 free throws in the final 1:12 of regulation. And by the time Douglas-Roberts regained his touch in overtime, it was too late to prevent a 75-68 overtime loss.
