Here's the video of Mario Chalmers' big winning 3 point shot in last night's NCAA finals. The Memphis Jayhawks got tooken out by Mario Chalmers and his Kansas crew, when Mario Chalmers hit a 3-pointer with 2.1 seconds left to send the game to overtime...

sporting news breakdown:

... Man of the hour: Sherron Collins, Kansas. His first-half defense on Rose held Memphis' uber-freshman to three points and kept him from finding any rhythm. Boom. With KU trailing by three in the waning seconds of regulation, he went and drove and got the damn ball to Mario Chalmers for the big game-tying 3-pointer. On the Tigers' first possession of overtime, he picked Chris Douglas-Roberts' pocket, then found Brandon for the first two points of overtime.

One shining moment: Mario Chalmers, Kansas. Could there be another? You saw that game-tying 3-pointer with 2.1 seconds left in regulation. Mario Chalmers FTW

For Memphis, hope was the worst of things Monday night. The Tigers had the game in their grasp, but Mario Chalmers hit a 3-pointer with 2.1 seconds left to force overtime.
