Kansas vs. Memphis: Anyone Looking Forward?

As you folks may already know, the Kansas Jayhawks will take on the Memphis Tigers for the NCAA Division I men's national basketball championship tonight at the Alamodome in San Antonio.


Anyone excited?

I actually had Oregon over Portland State on my bracket. North Carolina was the only final four pick on my bracket to make it to San Antonio before the Jayhawks beat 'em.
