Memphis, Kansas Advance to NCAA Basketball National Championship (2/2)

The Jayhawks led by 17 at the break. However, North Carolina was able to come back within four points, but Kansas never surrendered the lead.

Kansas Coach Bill Self says the semifinal was almost like three games.

"First game we were great and the second game we were not very good and they were great. The last game obviously we played super down the stretch. Guys were in attack mode right for the outset, and I thought we just did a really good job of being the aggressor early which set the tone for the game."

Brandon Rush led the Jayhawks with 25 points.

Teammate Darnell Jackson of Kansas says that his team knows playing Memphis will be tough.

"A lot of guys were talking about this and Coach Self has been doing a great job in helping us to stay focused and telling us not to be satisfied. And we have been playing so hard as a team together and not playing selfishly and now we got an opportunity to make history at Kansas."

Kansas last went to the final in 2003, but the Jayhawks lost to Syracuse. Kansas and Memphis meet for the national title Monday night at the Alamodome.

堪萨斯队的球员达雷尔•杰克逊说球队非常明白接下来与孟菲斯大学队的比赛将会异常艰苦。
