Kansas v. Memphis

I would like to see Kansas take the championship Monday night, but Memphis is playing too well IMO for that to happen. I think they have the edge in talent and they certainly have the edge in coaching. The way they shut down Neitzel, Augustin, and Collison over the last three games was very impressive.

I'll say Memphis 81 Kansas 73.

I have to say I never expected Kansas to run UNC out of the gym. Quite impressive. Still I am picking Memphis too.

This has been a terrible tournament IMO. Very few close games. Davidson and WKU provided pretty much all of the excitement.

As impressive as Kansas was tonight, I'm still picking Memphis to win it all. They were my pick from the start and I'm hoping they get all the way through.

...It figures, the one year I don't fill out a bracket... I wanted Kansas and Memphis in the final.

My bracket had Memphis beating NC for the title. But since the 4 guys ahead of me to win the pool at work all picked NC to win the title, I think I'm in pretty good shape to win it all. Kansas looked great for much of the game last night but Memphis is on a tear.

GO TIGERS

I had UCLA over UNC, and even after UCLA lost I could have won my pool if UNC beat Kansas, Memphis beat UNC, and then I won the tiebreaker.

Its amazing to see who is going to be more disrespected going into the game tomorrow...seems like it is Kansas now.

I had Memphis over Kansas in my bracket. I don't think I'll win anything if Kansas wins, so I need a Tigers victory this evening.

If only my first round picks weren't so terrible I'd have a shot at some decent money. As is, I'm playing for 3rd

Damn. I went from 2 1/2 minutes away from $389 to nothing after that Memphis meltdown.

When the Tigers were up by 9, I thought I was golden. Kansas...what an effort to get the W. Congrats Jayhawks on the title!

Man, and I was upset I went from $36 to nothing when the Tigers fell apart at the line...I really would've been upset by missing out on what you did!

It was a great game, and Kansas did what they needed, but I really wanted to see Memphis win one.

I'd send Chris Douglas-Roberts an instructional tape on how to shoot FT's if I were freak.

Well, that's how it goes. I paid $10 to get into the pool so I really only lost $10. This was like the time I missed the 50/50 drawing at a BG game by 1 stinkin number.

EZ come, EZ go.
