10.8 seconds left…...
The 2008 NCAA men’s basketball championship all in the hands of Memphis’s best player. The future NBA MVP, The future rookie of the year and The future 1st overall pick in the 2008 NBA draft. 2 free throws if he makes 2 it’s over. He steps up to the line. In and out....he misses! The crowd of 43,000 people all gasp. As they can sense Kansas stealing the momentum from Memphis. Rose Back to the line with more poise. He swishes it. A clutch free throw. But still only a three point game. After the free throw Darrel Arthur inbounds the ball to Freshman guard Sheron Collins . He takes the ball up the court, and gives a little hand off to Chalmers who almost lost it. Then fading away with 2.1 seconds Chalmers throws up a desperation three with 2.1 left and it goes in. The stadium ecstatic with fans cheering. But its not over yet Memphis inbounds the ball 2.1 and Robert Dozier throws a half court shot up at the buzzer.....and its off the backboard. We are going to overtime.
This game was as great as the 1982 NCAA championship game when Michael Jordan hit the Game winner. That was the game that the Jordan legacy was born. Maybe this is the game everyone notices Derrick Rose the star for Memphis.
Now in overtime. Kansas has all the momentum in the game. Coming back from being down by 9 points. Then Memphis started off overtime were they left off shooting the ball as cold as ice. Kansas went on a 6-0 run and they ended up winning the game in convincing fashion. The MVP of the game was Mario Chalmers which was well deserved with his astounding numbers in the championship game. Chalmers shot is referred to as the “Mario Miracle” for Kansas fans now.
