Watercooler Chat: More Final Four
This year marked an unprecedented event in the history of March
Madness. All four #1 seeds made it to the final four. This is
LITERALLY 'The Best of The Best'. UCLA v. Memphis, and Kansas v. North
Carolina. Going into this weekend, it was very difficult to make a
prediction. Even the experts were clueless as to who would win.
"Gotta play the games", they said. Well, here's what happened.
Memp
his
turned out to be A LOT better than people believed. They were up on
UCLA the entire game. UCLA made a run towards the end, but Memphis'
Chris Douglas-Roberts caught fire and sealed their victory, 78-63.
Memphis has been excellent the past couple seasons, but this year might
be THEIR year. In the post game press conference, Memphis' coach, John
Calipari said that "out of any of the 64 teams in the tournament,
Memphis means the most to its city. The people of Memphis need this.
Memphis is a great city, but also has a lot of poverty. The kids in
those poor communities need to see that working hard and winning is
possible if you strive for it." Thus -- this Memphis team appears to
be on a mission of sorts.
The second game saw UNC coach Roy Williams face his former school -- Kansas. Roy was a legend at Kansas during the 90s and early part of this decade, but he jumped ship for North Carolina in 2004. This game marked the first time he faced his former team. Well -- the first half was all Kansas, as North Carolina looked on with their jaws open. UNC was favored to win the game, but they fell behind by over 20 points -- an incredible margin to come back from. UNC spent the entire game playing catch-up, thus changing their original style of play. They did rally to bring the game within four points towards the middle of the second half, but then.. simply ran out of steam -- Kansas pulling away in the final five minutes. Kansas defeated North Carolina 84-66. These guys play incredible defense, and the showdown between Kansas and Memphis on Monday night, will surely be an instant classic.
