So the best team won after all. The Kansas Jayhawks, No. 1 on the efficiency charts, are also the NCAA men’s basketball champions.

Full credit to the Memphis Tigers (No. 2 in efficiency) for their amazing season, but it came up about 2.1 seconds short. That’s when Mario Chalmers hit the game-tying 3-pointer that ruined the evening for Memphis supporters. Instead of winning the championship and covering the 2-point spread, the Tigers lost 75-68 in overtime.

You’ll hear Billy Packer’s voice echoing in your head for the next few days, reminding you over and over again about how Memphis needed to hit free throws down the stretch. The Tigers were 12-for-19 on the night, missing four of their last five to give the Jayhawks a chance to tie. Memphis also could have used the services of Joey Dorsey in overtime, but he fouled out with 1:23 to go and the Tigers up by five. Right where Kansas wanted them.
