Happy Tuesday, everyone. Kansas won the national basketball championship last night, and there was one particular, memorable moment late in the game.
The injury caused Bacot to turn the ball over, and the 6-foot-10 big crumpled in obvious pain as Kansas moved the ball to its end of the court. In a showing of sportsmanship, however, Kansas forward Jalen Wilson chose not to take advantage of the 5-on-4 situation up 70-69 while Bacot gingerly limped up the court before officials blew the play dead for a substitution.
Following the timeout, Kansas forward David McCormack connected on a hook shot to give the Jayhawks a 72-69 advantage.
