Rock chalk, Jayhawk!

I knew we could do it based on how we attacked coming out to start the game. Knowing they were short handed, we had to run, attack the basket going the rest of the way plus finish! But we did not finish at all during that 18-3 dry spell creating a giant hole at the half!
But knowing we could and having the confidence was two things far apart! I didn't give us much of a chance the 2nd half based on how we finished the 1st half! After we scored 2 buckets to start the 2nd half, I knew we were making a run at them, but was it going to be enough was the question that needed answered.
The season was a good ending, BTBOH, I'm disappointed we played so poorly the 1st half and never blew them out the 2md half! People are saying UNC blew it! That KU didn't have as much to do wit s As soon as we caught up, the intensity we just shown, became less and UNC kind of righted themselves. We had Bruan on a mismatch with Love after Love turned an ankle and we didn't stay with that! We let Davis take over and scored frequently to keep them in the game instead of clamping down on him with a wounded Love and Bacot.
When we stretched the lead to 6 we should have never looked back. But instead we let them back into the game, giving them a renewed hope of winning. We really should have won this game by 14-18 pts easily with out our 1st half blunder.
Oh well, A Championship is a Great Thing to have in AFH again!
Now let's wait to see what infraction committee will do to us since the NCAA is not going to pursue the Zion fiasco any farther to uncover the Duke iron in the fire!
