My god, who would have predicted that !!!

I think it's great that we have two underdogs in the final, the Memphis story esp is a really good one ...
Amazing in that both UCLA and North Carolina went into both matches as favourites , and yet both lost, well belted is the more correct term ..

Not a big college fan, but I always love seeing the underdogs have their day ...

Should be a great final !!!

Go Memphis! They are the best team to watch, their transition and using their trailor is a treat to watch. Also love how they double the post straight away.

I'm also going for Memphis. Thought their match against UCLA would be pretty even so wasn't surprised that they won but I still can't believe that Kansas beat UNC. I think Memphis will be too good for them in the Final.

I watched the final, and it was pretty much as exciting as could be...yet I still reckon I'd rather watch a meaningless regular season game between any two NBA teams (other than maybe the Bucks or the Clippers).

NCAA does have one good thing going for it - the refs seem to subscribe to the "no blood, no foul" policy.

If you haven't seen the game and didn't want to spoil it, you'd have to be a moron for opening this thread.

A pretty good finish, amazing how Kansas sunk a 3 right on the buzzer, I felt sorry for Memphis then.

I live in Lawrence, KS - obviously a Jayhawk fan and i've never seen a game like that!! Truly amazing. The press here are calling it one of the top 3 final four games of all time!!

That game was amazing. What a comeback!

Loved how the commentators quoted the Memphis coach as saying that they'll make the free throws when they mattered, then the team proceeded to miss clutch free throw after clutch free throw.

Bit late on this one, but gotta say that was one of the best college games ive watched in a long time. Thoughts Memphis had it in the bag and really they should have won. But damn, Chalmers came up with a massive shot. Found myself shouting at the TV for a bit after that... :D
