17. WSU Class of '82
I was there during the George Raveling years.

And they did make the championship game in 1941, losing to Wisconsin. Jack Friel was the coach. And according to the Helms Athletic Foundation, they won a national champisonship under Doc Bohler in 1917.

Congrats to Kansas!

12. I hate Billy Packer.
I don't care what team it is, once he starts railing on them I immediately want the other team to lose. It could be my home team and I would feel the same way.

13. Just tuned in the last few minutes of regulation.
Great 3 pointer to send it to OT. And those missed foul shots killed Memphis.

Chalmers is money on both shots.

16. What a great game! KU came back from 9 points down with 2:00 to play
in regulation to win the whole shebang!

I was on the edge of my seat for the entire 2nd half and OT

18. Yah... um... it was an ok game....
OMFG IT WAS DAMN NEAR THE MOST AWESOMEST GAME EVERSSS!!!!

Def in the top 10 college games of all time. It's one of the few bonafide competitors to Magic/Bird game. It would clearly win if Rose had been more of a team player. As it is, it's just in the grey area as "up there".

19. Best game I've ever seen.
Granted my assessment is a little biased.
