Great game, wasn't it, dude?

I thought it would be competitive, but it exceeded any expectations I had. The two most talented teams in the nation played last night, which is extremely rare these days for the championship game.

Coach Cal made some questionable decisions down the stretch that might have changed the outcome. No timeout after Rose's last free throw was good? No intentional foul after Kansas got the ball in bounds on the last play of regulation despite the fact that Memphis was up three? Oh, well. I think Memphis was the most talented team in the nation this year, and they came very close to winning it all. Kansas simply did what they needed to do to get the job done. I'm happy for them. I'd much rather they get the attention of the national media than UNC or Duke.

What about those Kansas big men, though? Just playing, dude.
