Men's National Chamionship

And then there were two...Memphis continues to dominate opponents and in the process makes them look like high school teams. I just cannot say enough about Derrick Rose. The Miami Heat have their eye on him, and given then chance may snag him with the first pick in the draft this year. Rose and Chris Douglas Roberts (aka CDR) combined for 53 points against UCLA, however Rose's stomach has been giving him problems, causing him to miss Sunday's media session. Kansas' back court has also been lighting it up during the tournament. Brandon Rush is the headliner, scoring 25 points against UNC. Let's not forget about Russell Robinson and Mario Chalmers who have a reputation of being defensive stoppers and solid distributors. It will be their job to contain Derrick Rose and stop him from embarrassing people the way he did to DJ Augustine and Darren Collison. Chalmers is leading Kansas in three point shooting, making close to 48 percent of his shots.
When it comes to the front court players of these two teams, neither gets much on the offensive end of the floor. That is exactly why both of these teams boast lineups featuring three guards. Kansas' Darrell Arthur and Darnell Jackson both have gone more than 10 games without double digit rebounds. Memphis' Joey Dorsey had 15 rebounds against UCLA and is a great shot blocker. However, he shoots a pathetic 38% from the free throw line, so don't be surprised to see a hack-a-Joey game plan to help Kansas slow things down.
The depth of Kansas must not be underestimated. They have guys coming off the bench like speedster Sherron Collins who averages 9 points and can shoot the three pointer. The Jayhawks also have solid front court players coming off the bench in Sasha Kaun and Cole Aldrich who combined for 12 points against UNC. Memphis does not dabble too far down their bench, with 6'10" Shawn Taggart the only bench player who got more than six minutes on Saturday.
The way Memphis has been dominating people, it is no wonder why many people have them winning this game. That being said, I picked Kansas to win the championship at the beginning, and I have no reason to go against them now. The depth of this team is what will allow them to cut down the nets and reign as National Champions.
