Kansas vs. Memphis NCAA Championship Game Prediction - Associated Content
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Font FontMost analysts predicted that neither team was by to make it past the Final Four. Now after both pulled off upsets Memphis and Kansas meet each other in the National Championship. Memphis was supposed to go down to the force of Kevin Love and UCLA. Instead, Derrick Rose shredded UCLA as he led the Tigers to victory. Next up was UNC led by Tyler Hansbrough an unstoppable force. At first it looked like Kansas had it in the bag only to have UNC roar back into the game to close the lead to 4 points. From that point on though Kansas took control and went on to win 84-66 victory. Now the two teams meet for the first time all year. Memphis will bring the "dribble-drive motion" offense to the biggest stage it has ever had. Kansas will bring a more balanced attack and a ferocious defense that has shut down teams like UNC, Texas, and Michigan State. Now here are the breakdowns at each position and which team has the edge.

Point Guard: This is a position with two very talented guards leading each team. Derrick Rose leads Memphis on the attack and slices through teams like they are soft butter. On the other hand Brandon Rush has more experience and he is a great defender as well as a talented scorer and passer. Rose though was just more clutch than Rush during each team's last game. Rose never let Memphis falter against UCLA, while Rush did let UNC get back into the game thanks to many of the Jayhawks' turnovers.

Shooting Guard: Chris Douglas-Roberts just pours in points every game. Chalmers is good and a very talented defender but, Roberts scoring makes up for everything and gives him the advantage against Chalmers.

Third Guard: Antonio Anderson plays a third guard for Memphis in their offense. While, Sherron Collins and Russell Robinson split time in the starting lineup for Kansas. Anderson poor shooting puts him at a disadvantage compared to Kansas's combination.
