We’ve seen a lot of teams choke in our day…and last night was one of them. You all know the story, up by nine, two minutes to go….missed free throws, turnovers, and Memphis bettors watch their tickets go up in flames.

I wonder if Coach Calipari still thinks free throws aren’t that important, or that “big players make free throws when they count”.

Congrats to Kansas though, as they had a great tournament.

It took an OT session but the Kansas Jayhawks, listed as 2-point underdogs at SPORTSBETTING.COM prior to game time, won the NCAA Div. I basketball championship by a final score of 75-68 over the favored Memphis Tigers. 

The Tigers are down by 5 at the half of tonight’s championship game, after giving up five unanswered points in the final minutes.

Memphis is a 2.5-point favorite in the second half.

Despite missing media sessions yesterday due to a stomach ailment—possibly due to a diet of Gummy Bears and Honey Buns—talented freshman G Derrick Rose will play in the NCAA title game tonight.

Rose is SPORTSBETTING.COM’s odds-on favorite to win the tournament MVP award, listed at +100.
