ESPN Tournament Challenge Group -- All Tourney Talk Here

[Mark Padgett]

Congrats to Memphis for making it to the title game. They really played well. Ben Howland has to take some of the blame for his game plan, however, which surprisingly featured not giving the ball to Kevin Love in the second half.

BTW - do they have a special rule for the Final Four in which they do not make 3 second calls? I saw players on both teams in the lane for 5 and 6 seconds on many occasions and there was one time with about 6 1/2 minutes to go when I counted a Memphis player in the lane for at least 9 seconds.
