Packer
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Is a ninny. He ragged on Kanas' play for the last few minutes of the first half. It's like, geez, they were up 40-12 why isn't the halftime score 63-16?

I'm Starting To Think
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This Memphis Team and Tark's UNLV that beat Duke by 30 in the title game might be the all-timers......So much for the major conferences.

Hansbrough
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Is a great college player but against Kansas he was in around the basket trying to draw charges. That's not gonna fly in the NBA......Plus those moving toward the basket from the front or sideways to the baseline, double-pump, one hand shots are not gonna work out for him.

A Radio Call In Fan Down Here

Get a Cokie with far away eyes.

It Wasn't Free Throws
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It was field goals. Kansas outshot them 53-40..........Memphis scored one basket in about a 7 minute stretch from about the 16 1/2 minute mark of the first half down to about 9 1/2.....Then one more in the last 6 minutes plus of the first half. Then one more in a 5 minute stretch of the second half starting at a little over 18 minutes to go. Rose had one field goal in the first 28 minutes. The shot chart they displayed at one point had a big glob of gold circles (made field goals) right around the hoop for Kansas and Memphis almost none. And a double digit rebounding advantage for Kansas.

The Athleticism And Quickness
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Was amazing. It seems if the ball was exposed for one instant, a hand was swiping at it and hitting it.
The hero is the guy that brought the ball up court leading to the tying three. He came up the middle then peeled off to the wing. He lost control of the ball with two of those quick as a cat Memphis arms right there. The ball in space between the two players. He reached out after losing it, regained possession, and fed Chalmers cutting by all in about one second.

[Read the article: Thank you, Rush Limbaugh!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Of the people that regularly post, and regularly say they are fed-up and finished with Salon. Make up your damn mind.

The Problem With The Free Throw Deal
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Is that only the loser can make excuses, or be blasted for a stat that "cost them the game". Kansas could say that they hit 1 three and shot 10 percent from three for the first 38 minutes. If 2 or 3 more of those go down then.....

Before The 1 for 5 At The End
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Memphis was 11-14 or nearly 80 percent.
-
You Can't Single Out
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The last 2 minutes or the 9th inning as a seperate entity, where a stat or play decided the game. The game has to be viewed in it's entirety and the glaring overall observation last night would be the difference regarding easier in the paint field goals for most of the game. The play around the basket.

Memphis Made

Plus
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]A Memphis guy missed two free throws, they got the offensive rebound and were fouled again and made one of two....That's a total of one miss really.

KStone
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The credit for the 9 point comeback in the last couple minutes goes to Kansas. They had to do a bunch of stuff themselves.

If You're Going To Rationally Choose
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Between field goals or free throws being the difference in that game it was field goals.
-
First Off
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]To just blame the loss on the free throws you'd have to have Kansas winning in regulation. At worst the missed free throws caused a tie. The the field goal problem raised it's ugly head again, for about the 4th long stretch of the game.
-
This Is Difficult I Know
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]You have a final score and a few missed free throws, so the simple definitive absolute linkage is made. If it's the last thing I do, I am going to drag the simplified American sportsmind kicking and screaming into deeper thought.
-
Plus
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]You have Douglas-Roberts with a big offensive first half, making up for Rose, or Memphis is really in trouble at the half. And not only that after the game Rush, who abused North Carolina with 25, was shaking his head at Douglas-Roberts defense on him.
Then the guy gets tossed in the sewer for missed free throws.

Stanford-Tenn Womens
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]You don't have to watch the game. Just check out the ESPN typed play by play in the morning. Specifically (nay, only) the free throw shooting in the last 2 minutes. That explains EVERYTHING.
-
How About
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If a team gets out to a 9 point lead in the first couple minutes, then misses some free throws and all of a sudden it's 11-11. They do well in free throws the rest of the way, but lose in overtime. Was it the free throw shooting or whatever happened in the last couple minutes?

rufus
[Read the article: Thank you, Rush Limbaugh!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Is pretty cocky. He must not have seen the hypotheticals between Obama and McCain in Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
