THE FACTS about Kansas Jayhawks and Their Road to the Championship

[Bearcat]

Villanova being ranked is a complete joke. They just weren't a very good team this year. After the Sweet 16, however, nobody gets a free ride. Davidson will never get the credit they deserve, even though they came 3 points away from beating the top 3 seeds in their region. Even when they got a little credit, the same experts turned around and picked UNC because after all, KU almost lost to a 10 seed. UNC and Memphis speak for themselves.

I haven't seen a pic, but I've seen the play many many times and it was a 3. I love everything about it... Collins' move at halfcourt, the fumble and dish to Chalmers, and then the instant reaction of the Jayhawks to play defense after the shot instead of any sort of celebrating. The only thing missing is that I haven't seen an angle that shows Chalmers' reaction to his own shot. I was wondering if the pic on the front page of ESPN Monday night was his reaction.

They didn't take a weekend off while their betters were playing an extra game, then get a bowl game they never earned and didn't deserve handed to them on a silver platter.

You'd think even Kansans could tell the difference.

But maybe not.

You should create a spreadsheet of quotes, or have a random quote generator in your sig... it would be much more efficient.

I have seen a lot of teams celebrate a shot like that, but it was almost like the Jayhawk players expected it to go in. It makes me think back to Bill's speech before the UNC game, where he told the players to expect good things to happen and they would.

Also, as the shot is in the air, it appears that Mario goes into his patented back pedal. He said over and over that he knew it was good the moment it left his fingers.
