Gee, imagine that, an OT thriller
Naturally, the NCAA title game went to overtime. Why didn’t I guess.
We were holding our press run for the print edition so we could get the game in. With a 9:05 start, I was hoping for the game to end sometime between 11:30 and midnight.
Naturally, the teams had other ideas. The game went to overtime before Kansas, which had rallied from a 9-point deficit in regulation and tied the game on one of the all-time 3-point shots you will ever see by Mario Chalmers, then prevailed in the extra period, 75-68.
Of course it never would have gone to OT if Memphis had been able to sink a few foul shots in regulation.
The look on those Memphis kids’ faces I believe tells you everything you need to know about the “agony of defeat.”
You can read all about it, both in print and online.
