Tonight's Finals matchup lived up to expectations as Kansas took Mempis to OT.

This game was well officiated and featured great play on both sides of the ball.  Few ticky tack calls were made and no one was gyped on their ticket price.  (Memphis fans will disagree.)

Here's why the game went to Overtime...Fun With Statistics:

.527 & .933 VS. .403 &.632

That's field goal percentage and free throw percentage. 

Kansas is the former and Memphis the latter.  Field goal percentage was my predictor for the game winner.  Strangely, Kansas trailed by nine late in the game, yet came back strong.

 Memphis blew it at the charity stripe when it mattered most, late in the game.  That doomed the gents from Memphis. (repeat) 4 of 5 inside two minutes set up the Kansas comeback.

Goat Award:  Memphis, your coach didn't teach you well.  With seven seconds and a three point lead, Memphis didn't foul a Kansas inbound to end the game!  WHAT WEREN'T YOU THINKING!!!!  We all saw a  penetration and kickout for a three to tie the game with 2.1 in regulation.  This needs to be at the top of a Top 20 Countdown Show.  Knucklehead.

Overtime was all Kansas as Memphis went cold.

The end, game over, thanks for playing, here's your Greyhound pass back to Graceland.

75-68...first since 1988
