I'm not sure I agree with all that analysis. I think the game was a toss-up. I think it was Memphis's game with five minutes left due to shooting luck and the breaks of the game. After that, I think it was KU’s game for the same reasons.

I am not calling for a best of 3, 5 or 7 game series. Perfectly happy (now) to have it settled in one game (KU fan).

“wanting the team that beat me to get beat”

I’ve always liked the opposite outcome, where the team that knocked mine out goes on to win it all. I first developed this attitude in 1966?, when KU lost to Texas-Western(UTEP), in the last second in a controversial finish, who eventually went on to beat Kentucky in the finals and become cult heroes and movie stars.

And just think what the Davidson fans can now dream about. They only lost to Kansas by 2. Lucky shot or lucky break either way, and they can see that they might be NCAA champs.

Roy is a class act.

Yes, class act. We’d never see ferret face do something like that.

OK, I give up. WTH does this stupid “rock chalk” thing mean? I didn’t get the memo.

Heres one Kansan who is pleased. Now if Kansas would just do something about its high personal property tax.

I am pretty much known as an “ABC fan” to people that know me -

Mark me down for that. Heck, I would even stoop to rooting for DPuke as long as they were playing UNC.

I don’t mind pulling for Duke.

As a long-suffering N.C. State fan, I reserve all my vitriol for the boys in that oh-so-masculine powder blue color.

The Wolfpack is definitely my second favorite ACC team (behind UVA). However, my disgust for the puff powder blue runs deep.

Every true Carowhina hater should have a "Go To Hell Carolina" t-shirt of their very own. I do!

Click here and look for the "Order a shirt" link on the right side of the page:
Carolina Sucks: We put the 'dot com' in Carolina Sucks

Note: I have no affiliation with that site. :)

Memphis got tired at the end and in overtime.

Evenly matched, yes. They didn’t win for not wanting it.

I understand your position, a lot of us were upset when Mack Brown left for Texas. I just thought it was really classless when Kansas fans booed him. You also have to remember that Roy was asked twice to come to UNC.

I think Roy has gone out of his way, to the point of upsetting some UNC fans, to make amends.

My favorite bumpersticker of all time is “Women at VMI? What’s next - Men at UVA?” Maryland fans claim that Wahoos are little more than “Dook’s rejects”. ;)
