Where does last night rank in the greatest games you've seen?

i didn't really see it as one of the greatest games ever or anything. the shot to send it to overtime was great, true. but when the game was finished the teams were 6 points apart. memphis rolled over when they should have put them away in regulation and then they didnt make a field goal until there was about a minute left in overtime. basically the last 7 minutes or so of the game were not competitive at all. kansas demoralized and ran them over at the end

Im with you. Best game ever, come on folks lets be realistic. Was it a great shot, yes I am not denying that. It was a great game to watch, but one of the best, no. Memphis killed themselves when they couldn't make a free throw, and their best player decided he wasn't going to try and score for the first 3/4 of the game. It was an entertaining NC game, and was great for any KU fans, congratulations on a good win.

If it was Memphis/UNC, I'd agree with you... but, throw in the emotions of a Kansas or Memphis fan watching KU's lead slip away, then fall down by 9, then the Collins' steal & 3 to spark the comeback...

I'd probably have OU/Boise State as #2 or 3 on my list if I had really cared who won. It had everything a neutral observer could ask for, but without a dog in the fight, I wasn't hanging on every second like I do for 'my' teams... and that makes a huge difference, IMHO.
