Memphis vs. Kansas for the National Championship Tonight!

The field of 65 (or more like the field of 400 and something) comes down to two teams, who will play for the national championship tonight in the Alamodome. The Memphis Tigers versus the Kansas Jayhawks. Both teams entered the tournament as the No. 1 seed in their region. Both teams play balanced, high-energy, highly entertaining hoops. Kansas has the tradition, while Memphis is hoping to earn their first national title in men’s basketball.

Clearly a Tiger would beat a Jayhawk in a fight between the two animals. The only animal that the Jayhawk would have a shot against is, of course, a jay. Or a rodent. That’s probably why Vegas has Memphis as the winner by 2 points, as of 10:45 this morning.

Hopefully you all have tickets to see this thing go down live at the Alamodome in San Antonio. It should be a good one, or, at least we’re hoping that it makes up for the way the Final Four games went. Kansas went to town on UNC early, then let the Tar Heels almost taste a comeback before turning it on in the final stretch to win. UCLA’ Darren Collison had a rough game versus Memphis’ Derrick Rose, and the Bruins were not even close by the time the final buzzer sounded.
