Memphis screwed themselves. No way UNC, Duke, UCLA, Louisville or even Davidson blow that lead. The pushing of the ball up the floor with like 20 seconds left when if they had just passed the ball and kept it out of Kansas' hands for 3 more seconds, chalmers doesn't even get the opportunity to tie.
I'm not diminishing the championship - it was a great shot, a magnificent team effort and KU didn't quit - those are the marks of a true champion. Not selfish play, bad coaching\game management and the aforementioned fast break - which in my mind only a complete imbecile would have attempted. Memphis certainly deserved to lose.
