I won a math debate
I warned you fuckers 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

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.

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.

You kids stay off my lawn!
Noticing the number of comments in this thread about the refs: I used to love basketball. I was a gym rat, spending way too much of my undergrad time in the old mens' gym or on the courts at the North Dorms.
During that time I also watched a good deal of college and pro basketball--and then the game changed. Like the debate over mound height, strike zone and juice in the ball in baseball, b-ball struggled with hand checking, steps and the high dribble.
The little I watched of the NCAAs convinced me that these issues are far from settled... it's not that the refs are poor, it's that the style of play almost makes the game impossible to officiate.
What is walking, what is a high dribble, or carrying, or palming the ball, what is a charge or blocking? I don't think there's a teaching film out there that could show you what they are and show you clips of the refs calling them consistently.

Nope. That was Darius Washington.
Dorsey is an ass-clown. Grabbing the ball or smacking it out of bounds after made baskets, bitching to the officials while the opponent is on a fast break, running into opponent players, sulking......I'm glad Kansas won just so I didn't have to watch him celebrate. Fuck Joey Dorsey.

I'll second that about Dorsey. I was rooting against Memphis just because of him and Calipari. I remember last year, think it was their sweet 16 game against A&M, Dorsey fouled out and then took his jersey off. He sat on the bench the rest of the game in a wife-beater. It was totally classless. I already thought Calipari was a slimeball but the fact that he didn't do anything about it made me lose all respect for him and his program.

It is as if Memphis looked at the scoreboard and realized I was moments away from winning a vBet, and realized they just could not allow that no matter what it meant to their own championship aspirations.
