ROCK CHALK, JAYHAWK!!

KU won the national championship game!! The game was really breathtaking and impressive. After waiting for 20 years, KU brought the long-waited championship back. As a student of the university, I was so proud of the basketball team.

Both teams were very strong. It happened that each team gave shots alternately. As the game continued, Memphis was a few points ahead of KU. In the very last 10 seconds, everyone was so frustrated because Memphis was 3 points ahead of us. It was quite a hopeless situation. Making a 3-point shot was the only way to change the disappointing result. Suddenly, KU hit a 3-pointer with 2.1 seconds left in regulation and tied the score at 63. No one believed it when the ball hit the net. The scene was just wonderful! I had to say that it was so sudden. Even the coach and the members of our team could hardly believe it. As I watched the game in a house with a large group of people, the atmosphere was really strong. When the score was tied, my friends and I all shouted loudly and joyfully. Everyone in the house just jumped up and down with hyper. I still remember that my throat was really scratchy because of the prolonged shouting.

The game was moved to overtime. This 5 minutes duration was really crucial. KU did their very best and made a few shots in short time. The morale was excellent, and they did even better. It was really discouraging to Memphis and this lowered their morale. They didn't perform well. Finally, KU achieved a victory of 75-68.

There were good things about the opposite team. Yet, their free throw shots were quite bad. They missed some critical shots. All these cost a championship. This allowed KU to use fouling as the strategy to win the game.

After the basketball game, I rushed to Downtown with my friends. The whole street was emerged with people. Probably more than 90% of KU students were there. Almost everyone high-fived at each other. I could barely hear what other people said because it was so noisy. It was fun to feel the atmosphere of the people living in the town. I didn't enter the bars because they were all fully occupied. However, I got two glasses of alcoholic drinks at the house. The drink was a mixture of Vanilla Vodka, concentrated cranberry juice, sprite and water. Strangely, it tasted like cheesecake. I didn't know the ingredients before taking the first glass. It was the moment when I refilled the drink, I found that the Vanilla Vodka consists of 35% alcohol. My friend only added a small amount to the drink because of my young age. I didn't get drunk but I felt quite hot when taking the drink.

It was such a memorable evening! ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK!!
