Damn You Memphis!

Last nights championship game was a good one. The way a championship game should be. Back and forth. The game was not won by the Kansas Jayhawks, it was lost by the Memphis Tigers. It was the first and only time that I have ever rooted for a team from Tennessee, and now it will probably be the last. Memphis held a nine point lead with two minutes left in the game...and they blew it. When Kansas hit that shot at the buzzer I knew Memphis was done. Every kid on that Memphis team was hanging their heads, and I knew they couldn't come back. The momentum shift was too great. This is unfortunate for Memphis because they may never see another season like this ever again. However with NBA commissioner David Stern and the NCAA agreeing to increase the required age to play in the NBA from 19 to 20 years of age, they may have a chance to compete at a high level next year. Although I do not believe that they will, there is always a chance. Never say never.
