The NBA Most Valuable Player race heats up and Kansas takes care of business in the NCAA basketball championship on this edition of getthedaily.com
Welcome to Get-the-Daily-dot-com. I'm Dana Ward here with your sports news update.
The Kansas Jayhawks won their third NCAA Basketball Championship after defeating the Memphis Tigers 75-68 on Monday. The game was close from the start but with just under two minutes Memphis began to pull away. Kansas battled back and relied on a strategy of fouling as Memphis struggled with free throws throughout the season, making just over half of them. The strategy paid off and with a few seconds left in the game, Kansas was only down by 3. Kansas star Mario Chalmers shot a heavily contested three pointer with 2 seconds left. It somehow went in to and tied the game. Kansas used their momentum to take over the extra period and secure the win. The loss was only the second one this season for Memphis, which won an NCAA-record 38 games this season.
