It’s a little late on the win, but I was too lazy last night and too tired this morning. So this morning I write to you that the Kansas won a game in which Memphis absolutely blew; and when I say “absolutely blew,” I mean shitting the bed as badly as one can shit a bed.
I saw Memphis up eight with less than two minutes to go, ran to the laundry room, threw some clothes in, came back, and Kansas had cut it to five with a minute and a half. I watched Memphis miss free throws like they had all season and, before you knew it, I watched Mario Chalmers make a three because he wasn’t fouled at halfcourt, and then watched Memphis make a halfcourt heave when they had a timeout.
John Calipari, your coaching blunders won’t be forgotten.
Above is a clip of how the Jayhawks won the game, or how Memphis imploded under pressure. We don’t get to see Mario Chalmers’ miraculous three-point heave to send it into overtime, but watching the expression on CDR’s and Derrick Rose’s face is way more priceless.
Enjoy your win, Bill Self. And your $2 million dollar hike in base pay this year.
