I'm speaking, of course, of the play on words that Jim Nantz has after the final buzzer sounds. Not a bad effort. He didn't really seem to have a lot to work with, as the Kansas Jayhawks is not something that lends itself very easily to a play on words.
If Memphis had won, he probably would have had it easier because of Derrick Rose. Some things he could have used for Memphis:
- "Memphis is smelling like roses."
- "Kissed by a rose."
All in all, bravo Jim Nance, bravo. You're the one thing we can count on every year.
On a sidenote, does Mario Chalmers have ice water in his veins or what? Wow.
