Rock, chalk, Jayhawk

I'm not sure what was the most impressive component of Kansas' NCAA tournament run, its merciless flogging of North Carolina or its back-from-the-dead resurrection against Memphis.

The Tigers were less than three minutes away from cutting down the nets Monday night in San Antonio, but missed free throws and big baskets like the one Kansas guard Mario Chalmers made at the end of regulation switched Memphis' mood from celebration to devastation.

Your final: Kansas 75, Memphis 68.

Absolutely mind-boggling.

Twenty years ago, Danny Manning helped Kansas hoist a national championship trophy.

Danny and the Miracles, they called them. Manning happens to be a Jayhawk assistant coach now.

Guess they'll have to step aside so Mario and the Miracles can borrow the spotlight now.
