2008 NCAA Tournament Champion: Kansas Profile

April 16th, 2008

The 2007-08 Kansas Jayhawks are the NCAA Division I men’s basketball champions. Their storybook 75-68 overtime win over the Memphis Tigers (-1.5) was the stuff of legends; Mario Chalmers is now a household name after sinking the game-tying 3-pointer with 2.1 seconds remaining in regulation.

Chalmers is one of seven Kansas players who may hear their names in June at the NBA Draft. The best prospect is Darrell Arthur, the 6-foot-10 power forward who stepped up in his sophomore year with 12.8 points and 6.3 rebounds per game. Arthur elevated the Jayhawks from an Elite Eight team in 2007 to national champions today. He could be a late lottery pick.

The upset win over Memphis leaves Kansas at 37-3 SU and 23-15 ATS on the season. The Jayhawks also finished first in efficiency, with the best defense in Division I and the No. 2 offense. Coach Bill Self has finally fulfilled his destiny in Lawrence.
