Well frankly, it's taken me several days to be able to write about what happened Monday night in the National Championship Game. The Tigers fell short and lost to kansas. They were up by 9 with roughly 2 minutes to play and a perfect storm of Tiger errors and remarkable kansas play allowed Kansas to tie the game and send it to overtime. Kansas pulled away in the overtime.
As hard as that loss was, we should all keep this season in some perspective. The Tigers were the national runner up. Every team in the country save for one would switch places with them. Along the way the Tigers set the record for most wins in a single season (38). They tied the record for most wins over a three year period (103). Chris Douglas Roberts ("CDR") was a first team All-American. Derrick Rose was a third-team All-American. Coach Calipari won the National Naismith Coach of the Year award.
Years from now this game will hurt. Years from now we'll all realize what a great run the Tigers had. Oh by the way, the Tigers look to have a top 10 and possibly top 5 recruiting class coming in next year. Hope springs eternal.
