What a great game. I'm gonna blow my own horn again after the fact. But I felt like when UNC beat baylor in another really great game that the Tar heels were going to make a run all the way to the title. But Kansas was just phenomenal. Well, except their free throw shooting in the 2nd half. those guys had a gear that I haven't seen since the UNLV Running Rebels. But it was a great display of team basketball by both sides. Too bad the guys from UNC got hurt like they did in the 2nd half. It might have played out differently. But that had as much to do with Kansas' defense as anything else that happened in that game.
