Kansas

I had Kansas winning the whole thing before the tourney started. I see no reason to change that prediction now.

Update at the end of regulation: You have to be able to make your free throws! You also need to get the rebound when the other team misses their free throws! Kansas almost blew the comeback by not blocking out.

Update at the end of overtime: Great game. If I were Billy Packer I would point out to you that I predicted Kansas would win. I love how Packer spends half the game saying that Memphis needs to stop setting screens for Rose and then when they go one possession without setting a screen for him, he talks about what a brilliant move it is to stop setting screens.

  1. I’m not a Jayhawks or basketball fan, but now living in Kansas, I have to say… what a game!

  2. As a U. of Memphis grad (MS ’74) who remembers our last championship game, I’m disappointed we lost. But it was one of the greatest finals ever.

  3. Billy Packer gets on my nerves. Period. Rock Chalk! JG

  4. Wade,

    Since you picked Kansas to win the NCAA championship, can you tell me what lies ahead in my future?

  5. Have more kids. That’s a great way to lower your tax burden. I’m up to 4 and we’re just getting going good!

  6. It was a great game!
    I can’t believe it.
    Mircles still happen today! 🙂

    I am now getting excited about the NBA Playoffs!
    GO Spurs Go!

  7. Jay–I already have that t-shirt. But at that price, I may need to pick up a few more and get my Christmas shopping done early. What size do you wear?

  8. Rock chalk Jayhawks baby!!!!!
    I love your blog Wade. You got some really good stuff on here. Keep up the great work your doing out there.
    Wish I could’ve gone to the Workshop this year and get to meat you. Maybe next year. God bless!
    PS. Go Mavs!

  9. Hey Wade,

    Sorry I’m so late to post, but I would like to thank you for the pre-tourney support. Not too many people picked them despite their talent level and depth.

So, what are you thinking?
