NCAA at 75 - College Basketball

18. Super Mario

The game was over. Or at least that's what everyone assumed. Kansas trailed Memphis by nine points with 2:12 remaining in the 2008 title game, and a comeback hardly seemed likely. The Jayhawks, though, battled back and had one last chance after Derrick Rose split a pair of free throws with 10 seconds remaining. Trailing 63-60, KU guard Sherron Collins raced the ball upcourt, tripped and batted a pass to Chalmers as he was falling down. Chalmers took one dribble, elevated and hit a heavily defended 3-pointer from the right side as the final seconds of regulation ticked away. The game went into overtime, and Bill Self's Jayhawks rolled past John Calipari's Memphis squad 75-68. Chalmers finished with 18 points and was named Final Four MOP. -- Jason King
