Frankly, Memphis did not deserve to win – given that their superstars failed to make three free throws that would have sealed the NCAA Division 1 Men’s Baskeball Championship last night.
Or maybe they were fated to lose – given that it would have been unseemly for this city, where the nation marked the 40th anniversary of the assassination of MLK just days ago, to have anything to celebrate.
But the hired guns who comprise the winning Jayhawks make it clear that this is not Dorothy’s Kansas anymore. And the fact that they triumphed in a Final-Four tournament that featured the top-seeded teams from all regions for the first time in history must make their victory especially sweet.
Congratulations Kansas for pulling off a thrilling 75 to 68 win over Memphis … in overtime!
