The Kansas Jayhawks defeated the Memphis Tigers 75-68 in overtime to win their third National Championship.
In this year's tournament, four #1 seeds reached the Final Four for the first time. Davidson nearly
became the first #10 seed to reach the Final Four. As I am sure most of you noticed, there were a lot of
very uncompetitive games this year. I did the math and found out that the average margin of victory for
the winners was 14.0 points which was the second highest since the tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985.

court record, conference tournament fatigue and experience. The page now contains data through the
2007 NCAA Tournament.
