The memhis players will need therapy for the rest of their lives, haunted daily by the stark image of a free throw line.

Oh he's gone. He is reportedly being offered 4 mil a year and will get a 6 mill signing bonus. That's 10 mill year one, and 4 mill a year for the duration of his contract. Kansas is only giving him 1.5 mill and he now has nothing else to prove there. Kansas would have to top that offer and quite frankly they won't. OK state has a big advantage in things like this because they have one of the richest people in the country as a booster who gives more money to his school than any other billionare so what he wants he gets. It will be simple for Self, go back to your old school for more money and be average, or stay at Kansas for less money and be a contender, cause they won't be able to match Ok St offer

he missed the most important one, if you watched the game youd know that idf he makes both its a 2 possession game and even if ku hits a 3 there still down 1 and itd be mem ball. i consider that a choke

Rose played amazing in the 2nd half, he along with others just missed free throws, simple as that.

Was the best championship game in awhile IMO, great to watch the teams going back and forth.

Rose is a great player and will be an all star in the NBA in years to come IMO

Wasn't really Rose's fault. That one guy before him missed 3-4 shots in a row with less than 30 seconds to go.

It wasn't just there fault the game could have been over even with those missed free throws

1. Derrick Rose Fouls in the back court which he didn't
2. John Calls a time out and lets his team get into their defence.

he deserves that hype. Rose was on and off in the game but when he's on, he's amazing. He has so much potential and regardless of this game, he's a still top two pick. CDR though...i don't even know what to say

Derek Rose had a helluva game regardless of one missed Free Throw.. He is a great player and still has his whole NBA career ahead of him

plus you cant pin the whole game on Rose, If they woulda left that one shot as a 3 pointer and not take that point off then it woulda been like he hit that last last free throw anyway.. If anything Taggart choked.. he only had 2 points and played almost tha whole 2nd half

People who don't play the game are so easy to cry 'choke'. Rose played incredibly well in the Second Half. CDR? Did a bang up job the whole game. It's been said before, but two things were needed to win that game even with the missed free throws: A foul in the back court before the shot got off or a stoppage of the clock to get the defense set. To say choke is to put the blame on those two when they were the ones that got them there in the first place. Know about the game before you criticize the players, pimp.

Kansas was just the better team, plain and simple. No need in pointing all the blame on one player.

He's a freshman who took his team to the NCAA finals. Didn't have a good last game. But Memphis fans can't ask for his head.

Being a mizzou fan of course I was rooting against KU. I wouldn't really say KU beat Memphis but more of Memphis beat themselves.

I was rooting for Memphis. I still can't believe they missed so many. If any Memphis player hit ONE MORE free throw they would have won it all.

Okay, people saying only if Rose hit one more free thow. What happen if Kansas play like they where in the against unc? There a lot of things that could of happen or should of happen but it didn't. It is over, and KU won.

I think Calipari should take a lot of the blame. He made a few pretty bad decisions and remember he said they will make them when it mattered most. By the time all was said and done, Rose had played 45 minutes and CDR 42, playing that many minutes not only took it's toll at the line, but in overtime as well. All Kansas had to do was sub in and out with fresh bodies. That said, Chalmers' shot was amazing.

Rose didn't choke. Calipari choked when he didn't order his team to foul before they even got the shot off. Sure he "said" they tried to foul, but if that's the case, why not foul on the inbound? Why let them run the ball all the way up court right into a set play to get Chalmers the shot.

its funny to watch people who can't at least hit 3 of 4 at the line. If you are playing D1 ball your ass should be able to make free throws. If you are in the NBA your ass should make 80% of your free throws. There is no excuse! You are there to play ball, and practice, practice, practice!

What does a college national championship matter to Rose? He's about to be a rich man. It would have been nice to have, but will this haunt him for more than 2 months? Doubt it.

Think you are right, whoever said if you play in a d1 then you should be able make at least 75 or 80 % of FT. There no excuse of not making FT. It the same spot, same distance, and you can fit two basketballs inside the rim. I think most of them should be able to make it with your eyes close

Well you dont have to worry about him anymore b/c he signed an agent which means a definite Draft Entry
