Congratulations to Kansas for winning the national championship last night!
Memphis had that game won and gave it away, but games are 40 minutes long (or 45 minutes long Monday), and every minute matters. Missed free throws, poor strategy not fouling at the end, and Dorsey fouling out on a touch foul looked to be the difference, with some clutch shooting from Kansas mixed in. Derrick Rose looked very good for Memphis, but wasnt consistent, he’ll be a star in the NBA.
Kansas and North Carolina were the two most talented teams in the nation when the season started, so that Kansas would beat UNC and then win it all is not a surprise, and certainly relieving for Bill Self. What is interesting now will be to see who stays and who goes pro. Congrats again to Kansas.
Oh to the joy of hearing about this for the next year, especially as a Dukie!
Dave, word on the street is Dan “the man” Entwistle must wear some Duke clothing to staff chapel. He is a UNC grad! This is in repsonse to a bet between he and Brent.

I know, Dan told me that earlier this week when he asked if he could borrow one of my Duke sweatshirts, pretty great!
