Clinton disputes NCAA Championship: Memphis Rightful Champions
In a move that's sure to be seen as controversial, Hillary has
contacted the NCAA Board of Directors to argue that Memphis is actually
better qualified to be National Champion.
Ms. Clinton stated
that Memphis, while losing the game, had actually shown more ability to
act like a National Champion on Day One. She argued that Memphis had
passed every test during the game, including scoring more points than
Kansas for 38 minutes. For 38 minutes they had shown the experience
necessary to be National Champion. "Just because some team comes along
in the last minute and scores more points than the other guy doesn't
mean they're necessarily able to be National Champion on Day One."
Ms.
Clinton further stated that Memphis should've won the game had Derrick
Rose's second half three pointer been allowed to count. Instead, it was
ruled a two after review by the officials. His foot was clearly inside
the line. Memphis coach John Calipari said he would ask that the rule
allowing monitor review of shots be changed after this season. Hillary
said she seconded that, and pointed out had Memphis been allowed to
count a three that wasn't really a three they would've won. "It doesn't
matter what the rules of the game are before it starts. What matters is
how we change the rules after the game so we can have the winner we
want."
Kansas, for its part, had this to say to Hillary: "Barack Chalk Jayhawk!"
