Kansas wins NCAA tourney

What. A. Game.

Down by 9 with 2:12 left in the game, the Kansas Jayhawks didn't seem to have a chance. Then , after 3 free throw misses by Memphis, down the court they went and hit a 3 with 2 seconds left. OVERTIME!

From then on out, it was all Kansas. Final score: 75-68, Kansas wins it all.

I must say though, that Memphis played a heck of a game. I was rooting for Kansas all the way (I picked them to win it all when I first filled out my bracket), but you really have to give a lot of credit to both teams. For most of the game, it could have gone either way.

Good luck to the players of both teams in coming years (oh, and GO BUCKEYES!).

Hang on Sloopy: Ohio State wins NIT

It's about time OSU won had something go their way this season. After being national runners-up last year, they failed to even make the NCAA tourney this year, instead going to the NIT. It's probably for the best however, as they wouldn't have stood a chance in the NCAA tourney.

The buckeyes were 32 for 57 shooting, and beat UMass 92-85 after trailing by 5 at the half. The top performer for OSU was (no surprise) Kosta Koufos, with 22 points.

Hopefully, the experince gained during the NIT will help the buckeyes do better next season. Go Bucks!
