Rock Shock: Chalmers’ heroics give Kansas title | Freep.com | Detroit Free Press
SAN ANTONIO –- Michael Jordan, move over. Lorenzo Charles, Keith Smart, step aside. Kansas’ Mario Chalmers just pulled your favorite trick, but with a twist.
Chalmers hit a jumper to win the national title.
The thing is, the game didn’t end for another five minutes.
Chalmers hit his three-pointer with two seconds left to force overtime and stun Memphis. When he nailed it, Chalmers ran over to the Jayhawks bench to celebrate like he’d won a championship. He must have known something the rest of us did not. It must be nice when your ESP tells you you’re going to star on ESPN.
Chalmers led the Jayhawks in overtime with an alley-oop pass to Darrell Arthur and two crucial free throws. The free throws might not sound so impressive, but they were.
Just ask Memphis.
Heckuva game last night. Memphis panicked at precisely the wrong moment. I mean, c’mon, your’re up by 3 with 9 seconds left and the other team has the ball….FOUL THEM!!
