That Kansas team was not interested at all in playing basketball the 2nd half, Dickinson especially. They weren't real interested in defense the whole game but were at least hitting shots.
Yes, it wasn't that long ago, maybe 2007?
Edit: I was close, the 2008 tournament. Kansas beat Memphis with UCLA and UNC joining the party.
The 2007 tournament had two 1 seeds and two 2 seeds, so pretty close
Yes, he had 21 and 11 at half and finished with 23 and 14 with 3 assists. His points/rebounds/assists equaled 40 because the over/under on that prop bet combining those for Edey was 40.5 (gee who woulda thought)
I believe have also had 6 different programs in the title game, MSU, Mich, Wisconsin, IU, OSU, Illinois. I believe MSU, Michigan, and OSU have made it more than once but am going only off memory here.
Xavier Booker gave MSU more than they could have ever bargained for in Mackey, 11 points in 12 minutes. They only lost the rebound battle by three and shot 43% from 3.
I don't see repeats for MSU there. Purdue did shoot 50% from 3 but has shot over 50% from three in I think 4 of the last 5...
