Today is the NCAA Division 1 National Championship Game! The Memphis Tigers, led by former UMass coach John Calipari and freshman stand-out Derrick Rose are playing against the Kansas Jayhawks.
I'm rooting for Kansas, who I originally picked to win the tournament. I prefer the Jayhawks style of play and maturity. I also think the Memphis's team is not really made of student athletes. They have a dismal graduation rate and a lot of players have ahd run-ins with the law, including their top big-man, Joey Dorsey, who was seen this summer 'making it rain' at a strip club.
Anyways, moralizing aside, Memphis's free-throw issues will be a serious hindrance and the Jayhawk's incredible depth (they played 12 people in their semi-final victory over North Carolina) will allow them to use fouling as a defensive technique to disrupt Memphis's fast-paced offense.
I'll provide post-game analysis tomorrow or later tonight.
Tip off is at 9:20.
