Well, I am not a huge Duke fan but I am glad that their arch-rival UNC is out as I cannot stand them. It was particularly enjoyable for fans of the Jayhawks I am sure as Roy Williams left their program to coach here.
Solid game, but you saw the difference in hustle and rebounding by Kansas compared to UNC. So much for the Tar Heels having so many NBA-ready players.
AIRED:
The Midwest Region final between the #1 seed North Carolina Tar Heels and the #2 seed Kansas Jayhawks at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, Missouri.
Final Score: Kansas 80 North Carolina 67

ADD QUOTES-
Kansas Coach Bill Self: I don't know if I ever enjoyed coaching a team more than this one. I love them. We fight, it's combative sometimes, all those things. But I love coaching these guys.
Kansas Coach Bill Self: You know what, if you get this far, you're going to play a great team no matter what. And they get a chance to play a pretty good team, too. It should be a lot of fun. -
North Carolina Forward Harrison Barnes: We had an opportunity to win that game and we didn't come through. I missed a lot of shots I usually make. Big-time players come through in big-time games, and it just wasn't there tonight.
-
Kansas Forward Thomas Robinson: We did it. We took another step. We took what we had, we worked hard and it paid off. For us to make it this year, with a team nobody thought we could do it with, it's great.
Kansas Forward Thomas Robinson: We knew we had to tighten up on defense. We shut them down. It feels great right now. Call me tomorrow morning and I can tell you how it feels then.
