In the first five minutes of the second half we saw four lead changes. The fight was on.
At this point both teams are sucking from the field.
Kansas has went to a Box-And-One defense that is actually favoring Memphis and Memphis refuses to leave the man on man leaving them vulnerable on the inside.
This is quickly becoming an inside/outside game. Kansas is up 7 in rebounds and 14 points in the paint at the 10:00 point. But Memphis is staying with them with better outside shooting. This might become a shootout.
If it goes down to three point shooting, both teams are sucking with a cumulative 6-22. Yeah, it's that bad. Kansas in particular has a problem from the arc going a whopping 1-9 so far.
Then the Tigers go on a 13-2 run and Kansas is on the ropes with four minutes left.
Kansas closes back to within six at the 1:30 mark.
With :44, Memphis is clinging to a two point lead with the ball.
Memphis is choking at the line missing four of the last five in regulation. And Kansas hits a rare three-pointer with time running out.
We have free basketball. Overtime in a National Championship game; does it get any better?
And Memphis totally choked in overtime.
Kansas kept playing and dominated the Tigers in OT.
It was not a pretty game.
