Without a doubt, that's my memory of it....it's as if time slowed to a crawl. Fantastic.

Funny thing is, when he shot it, knowing the size of the Memphis guards, I thought it was blocked. It just looked short to me for some reason, and then it swished and I fell on the floor and started to sob a little.

I think I pissed my pants, and blamed it on "spilled my beer..."

I'm just sayin'......

I had to listen on the radio...the play by play guy was counting down and his co-announcer kept saying "gotta foul" the all I heard was "Chalmers with the ball...a shot for 3......"and it was like eternity waiting for the call...then I think there might have been some people looking at me like I was in a fist fight with a bee...

I got screwed out of this.

I'm watching this game on march madness on demand (streaming video via computer) I didn't realize there was a delay. On my computer there were 10 seconds left with rose shooting, then a customer calls--and says dammit ku just hit a 3.

I laughed at him much and then charged him full price.

Frigging memphis prick.

Exactly. There was a collective gasp at Allen Fieldhouse and when the shot went in that place exploded.

I freaked out in my apartment and my fiancee was sleeping next to me, and I scared her to death. It was a fitting end to one of the best college games, let alone championships, I have ever seen...and for once my team won.

Awesome article, awesome game, awesome everything

That was amazing

And suddenly the game had started to turn back, Kansas’ Russell Robinson made a huge steal, Sherron Collins made a huge three-pointer, Darrell Arthur made a huge shot — well, you know they’re all huge.

Even more than the free throws, that was the game.

We were up by 7. GOD ****ING DAMNIT, we were up by 7. And we were never the same again.

I've seen the replay 30 times already....and EVERY SINGLE TIME I pump my fists and do a "Danny Manning"-you-have-to-believe-double-fist-squeeze/shake (KU fans know the image, it is iconic)....

so giddy....it feels better than I could ever imagine

**the Talking Can** · 04-08-2008, 08:15 AM

there were 3 huge plays at the end:

Collins with steal and 3 pointer
Arthur with a beautiful turn-around jumper to cut it to 2
Chalmers with the shot for the ages

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.

Kansas' defense against Davidson in the last 16 seconds of that game, and Kansas' offense in the final seconds of this game defines this team.

After the game Chalmers said he had an open look.... really?

man that was scary.

I cried. I admit it. But the craziest thing is that as soon as it happened the first thing that came to my mind was to start yelling "oh the babies" (from the Borat movie when he's with the frat guys in the rv). So, I did. It was a thing of beauty. This is just freakin' awesome!!!
