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.

Tonight marks the last day until we’re stuck with nothing but MLB and NBA — unless, of course, you’re an NCAA Women’s fan — so let’s make the best of it.

Kansas and Memphis tip off at 9:21 tonight, which means I’ll be up much later than I am on most other nights, where I’m asleep before the sun has set and most 8th graders are still outside playing baseball.

I can’t imagine there’s many Memphis fans out there — unless you’re born a Memphis fan, and if so, I’m sorry — so my guess is most are hoping against John Calipari and his band of dirty recruits (yes, I hate Calipari).

If anything else, I hope for a good game. Outside of the Davidson/Kansas game, and the Western Kentucky/Drake game, there haven’t been a whole lot of nail-biters, at least not by your normal tournament standard.

I’m a hardly a Jayhawks fan, but for tonight: Rock, Chalk Jayhawk! (I still don’t know what the hell that means.)

Derrick Rose didn’t take any questions from the media on Sunday, and the cause was a little odd: The man, as it turns out, didn’t feel well because he ate too many Gummy Bears.

“He eats Gummy Bears and Starburst for breakfast, and Twizzlers and Honey Buns for dinner. That’s why his stomach hurts,” fellow guard Chris Douglas-Roberts said. “We tell Derrick the whole year, ‘Stop eating so many Gummy Bears and Sour Straws.’ But he can’t. … Nobody eats Gummy Bears more than him.”

It’s good to know that a guy who may be picked in the top five of this year’s NBA Draft bases his diet around Gummy Bears, Honey Buns, Starbursts and Twizzlers. I’m guessing he won’t be gracing the cover of Men’s Health any time soon.

Listen closely, and you’ll hear freshman Derrick Rose dropping expletives when Joey Dorsey was asked about him being a freshman, and what it’s been like playing with him. I don’t know what Derrick thought Joey was going to say, but he seemed a bit nervous about a rather routine question with what one would think would be a routine answer.

I was pretty amped about last night’s games; the idea of seeing Calipari lose again and Roy Williams vs. his old team was an exciting concept to me. I figured both games would be nail-biters, the type where you have lead change after lead change after lead change, and it ends on some crazy shot that somehow finds the bottom of the net as time expires.

In all actuality, we got none of that.

The Memphis/UCLA game featured one team that jumped all over the other team’s back, and another team that just couldn’t score for the life of them. I’d heard about Kevin Love all year and, living on the East coast, hadn’t really had much of a chance to see the guy play. What I saw was a fat white guy that hardly resembled someone ready for the NBA. On the flip side of that, Derrick Rose, who I’ve criticized often as being overhyped, looked absolutely ridiculous. Neither Westbrook nor Collison could guard him, and UCLA’s staunch defense looked rather flimsy.

And for those of you who watched the UNC/Kansas game, well, I’m sorry. I was drunk, thankfully, so what I remember is only bits and pieces, but enough to know that 10 minutes though I’d lost all interest.

The end result is Kansas and Memphis (I’d called Kansas in the finals, but had Memphis losing in the Elite 8), and we can only hope there’s a little more tension and excitement in that game than in the previous two. My pick’s Kansas, but I’m a bit nervous; Memphis has looked absolutely unstoppable, and having to watch Calipari lift the trophy may be completely nauseating.

My prediction: Kansas 77, Memphis 72.

The odds are out for the Final Four, and it’s not very surprising to see that everyone is rated pretty equally; they are, after all, number one seeds, and saying which one is really the best is a guess and nothing else.

If I had to take a stab, my bet would be on UNC. I picked UCLA in my bracket, love their defense, but just feel they play every game a little closer than they should, and it’s going to bite them in the ass eventually. Memphis hit their free throws, but how many times will that really happen, and Kansas, well. . . they’re Kansas, and they never win anything big.

Which leaves UNC, Psycho T, and a lot of pro talent. The odds for UNC are 8:5, the rest at a solid 3:1. I’ll probably throw 50 bucks at UNC, and given how the rest of my bracket has gone, I’ll show nothing for it in the end.

Indiana has a pretty good college basketball tradition. You got Hoosiers. You got Bob Knight. This year, you had Eric Gordon and a team that was really, really good when they had their sneaky, cheating coach. Without that coach, Indiana is now looking for a new man to run their team: And Isiah Thomas insists they haven’t contacted him.

“No, I have a job,” Thomas said before the Knicks played the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday.

“Of all the former players, he’d definitely have the support of mine and others. I hope he’s someone they do name as the coach of Indiana.”

It’s hard for me to imagine Indiana reaching out to Isiah Thomas. For those that haven’t noticed, he’s kind of wrecked the Knicks, has been involved in lawsuits, and is the laughingstock of the NBA. And watching to see if Isiah’s recruiting is as bad as his management, well, it’d be fun for everyone, unless, of course, you’re a Hoosier.

With Memphis romping Texas today like Texas hasn’t been romped, we’ve got our Final Three. Davidson and Kansas are in action right now, and Kansas has a two point lead at the half. It’s hard for me to root for Davidson, as much as I love upsets: Kansas/UNC will be an awesome game to watch, and either of those taking on UCLA or Memphis will make for a really, really fun final. Davidson is a good story, and Stephen Curry is great, but c’mon — can you really see these guys beating Georgetown, Wisconsin, Kansas, and then UNC? At this point, I’m rooting for entertainment. So go, Kansas, go.

Chris Lofton, my favorite player in the entire nation, who has led my Tennessee Volunteers to where they are today, may be injured. “May.” Nothing certain. Breathe. Don’t panic.

Tennessee guard and leading scorer Chris Lofton has a minor leg injury but is expected to play Thursday against Louisville.

Team spokesman Craig Pinkerton says Lofton wore a walking boot on his foot as a precaution while the Vols rested on Monday and was expected to practice on Tuesday.

Coach Bruce Pearl told The Knoxville News Sentinel that Lofton “tweaked” his ankle in the first half of Tennessee’s 76-71 overtime win against Butler in the NCAA tournament.

The hope? Well, they’re saying it’s tweaked, and they’re saying it happened in the first half (he played the second half, so how bad can it be?). The thing that worries me? Tom Brady did something similar, “tweaking” his ankle, walked around with a boot, and then sucked it up in the Super Bowl.

If Chris Lofton is hurt, he’s got not Randy Moss to pass to.

In progress right now is the UNC/Arkansas game, which is pretty much over (UNC has doubled Arkansas’ score at the half), the Louisville/Oklahoma game, which also can be considered over (Louisville is killing them), and the only game that’s worth watching, the Memphis/MSU game, where Memphis is up eight points with 13 minutes remaning. Here’s scores of the games that went final today.

Siena 72, Villanova 84: Props to Villanova for making the Sweet 16 for the third time in four years, and this year no one really expected it. The ‘Cats shot 53 percent from the field, and held Siena to 35 percent for the game.

Miami 72, Texas 75: If you watched this game, you probably thought the same thing I did: How in the hell is Miami still hanging around? Texas coasted through most the game, went cold in the final four minutes, and before you knew it, there was a ball game to be played. AJ Abrams had 26 points for Texas, and was 6-10 from beyond the arch.

Butler 71, Tennessee 76: It took overtime, and there were moments in the game when UT looked like they were trying to let Butler win, but the Bruce Pearls move on to the next round, where they’ll either play Louisville or Oklahoma; and based on how that game is going right now, probbaly Louisville.

Davidson 74, Georgetown 70: Stephen Curry was quiet most the game, but poured it on in the final 10 minutes, causing arguably the biggest upset thus far in the tournament. Roy Hibbert, in his last collegiate game, fouled out and finished with six points.

San Diego 63, Western Kentucky 72: Hilltoppers to the Final Four!
