#2 Kansas vs #2 Ohio State Ncaa Tournament Final Four 2012 (Full Game)

[@bradymaher9657]

I wasn’t even 9 years old yet. I was in third grade, and my mom was in a really tough spot just a couple months into what would be a very long recovery from a bad car accident. This team provided lots of joy when I was dealing with hard things in my life. 2012 was pretty much the first time I remember actually paying attention to sports really, and as a KU fan, this run was pretty much at the forefront of what would end up being a passion for sports throughout my life.

[@isaiahevans001]

That hit the feels man! I felt this… this was the first season I remember watching as a Kentucky fan and yea the rest is history…. Hope that recent Kansas title made you proud bro! Want my cats to get back there soon.

[@Rusty571000]

@@isaiahevans001 They will. No doubt. You’re back to the most wins in history. But where you really kick our butts is having twice the Championships we do. Kentucky is #1 but my Jayhawks are #2 in College basketball history. Take care.

[@TV-fv1ih]

The irony here is that Craft tried to catch everyone off guard with the quick free throw, but in the end it was OSU and CBS who were caught off guard! OSU was still arguing the call and CBS was still showing a replay while the game kept going!

[@KINGPHANTOMw85]

I was about to cry when we lost this game

[@hitechjack634]

I cried when we lost I was 7. I’m just looking through some old games that’s why I’m replying to really old comments lol.

[@twoquickii1330]

As a Kansas fan, I can't rewatch any of our Final Four losses. Still haven't rewatched the 2003 Title game vs. Syracuse, and the 2012 title game I rewatched parts of the second half where we came back a little, but not the whole game. Ohio State has such great sports. Obviously in Football, but I have loved watching your hoops and my Hawks competing with you guys. I remember one time I think you knocked us out of the Maui Invitational. I didn't think we would win this game, I had just moved to Dallas the year this game happened, and really didn't think we would win this game. We were lucky to.

[@Aylissjay]

[@TheCgraham18]

You should have, because you are smart, and know it may be another 20-25 seasons before Ohio state gets back to the final four…..12 years later and we haven’t been back, and it’s not been real close for over a decade we haven’t even made the second weekend. So tears were in order 😢

[@swallowme535]

History is fun. You can admit it. I attribute it also to our inherent desire to feel powerful, with the power in this instance coming from looking back on this game and thinking “Man, they really didn’t know what they were talking about”, or “Man, they had no idea what would happen. But I do, because I’m from the future. Mwahahahaha”.

[@derekmathews1818]

I admit, I'm a lot more proud of this KU team than I was the 2008 team. The 2008 was expected to win it all, and they did exactly that. The 2012 team was not expected to do anything at all, and they made it all the way to the natl. championship game, and played with more heart, and resiliency than I ever seen any team play in college basketball that year.

[@derekmathews1818]

I don't know that Mr. Blue? Josh Jackson the next Andrew Wiggins is a little much. I just want the guy to help KU win basketball games, and that's it.

[@Ready2FreakingPlow]

2010 team though. Ughhh.

[@Ready2FreakingPlow]

Josh Jackson is better than Andrew Wiggins. His ceiling is lower, but he's more confident, more aggressive, and better at defense. Wiggsin will likely be the better pro, but Jackson is the better college Freshman.

[@derekmathews1818]

He had an amazing game today against Texas Tech. Season and career high 31 points, including the game winner. He had an amazing game today, but this team has GOT to learn how to get free throws in close games. They just have to for the love of god. Continuing, you are right Ready. Jackson is better. I think he's a better shooter than Wiggins, he's definitely a much better defender. He has some of the quickest hands I've ever seen. Overall, between Wiggins and Jackson, Jackson is no doubt the better freshmen. I've seen it in person. Wiggins was never as aggressive as Jackson is.

[@derekmathews1818]

Ready2FreakingPlow, the 2010 team dissapointed me.

[@Enigma71559]

Watching this now just a few weeks after KU won the 2022 title. Man! HOW did this team get to the final game? They had NOBODY that could score consistently. In this game and in the title game against Kentucky, Robinson was pretty much held in check leaving them with few other options. They couldn't shoot from the outside at all. But they still got to within one game of the National Championship. Tough, gritty and played great defense.

[@joerussell838]

I had some mid level seats and they provided each seat with a final four cushion made of foam material. I remember everyone throwing them down on the lower level after lol

You rock! I wish you can post the KU & Mizzou game that is now nominated for espy! It was a fabulous game!

Bill Self went the path of John Calipari four years ago after winning the 2008 title (lost to a lower seed in the Sweet 16).

[@twoquickii1330]

It is odd with Self and Calipari, when one is successful the other isn't nearly as much! Cal lost to a 15 seed in the tourney this year, and Kansas won it all!

[@twoquickii1330]

Well I guess my comment doesn't make that much sense because in Self has coached in 3 title games. 2 were against Calipari. 1 loss/1 win. And now against Hubert Davis as his first year of being the head coach of UNC. 2 wins/1 loss.

[@251to502]

@@twoquickii1330 A lot has happened since. Kansas and North Carolina have sort of been like everybody else while Kentucky and Duke are media sensations year in and year out. To some extent, the dominance that Calipari had at that time, has loosened.

[@qthegreat5278]

Idk why but this game was a lot closer than I remember it being for some reason lol

[@twoquickii1330]

lol - same. I remembered my Hawks won, and I remembered we only took the lead in the very late stages of the game. But I thought we were way more behind at halftime. I am watching all sorts of videos because I've already watched replays of this NCAA tournament too many times! I can't believe we overcame that Carolina onslaught!

[@251to502]

I think one reason why Michigan got to the title game (aside from talent and heart) was history repeating coincidentally (Pitino vs. Beilein - 2005 West Region Elite 8). The same reason (aside from just talent) could be said why Kansas got to the title game against Kentucky (2008 title game).

[@taylorholmstrom248]

I remember after Kansas beat Ohio State earlier that season, most of the analysts were talking along the lines of "Ohio State is still the better team, Kansas only won because Sullinger wasn't playing". There was even one analyst who said the Buckeyes deserved to move up from number 2 to number 1 in the following rankings. Because yeah, everyone should move up when they lose, that makes total sense. Not the biggest Kansas fan, but I'm glad the Jayhawks got to show who the better team really was in this game.

[@icytofuable]

[@walterlv01]

Ohio State is always a tough out in the NCAA's - they have lost by 2, 3, 2, and 2 in their last four tournaments. I actually thought their 2011 team was a lot better than the 2012 team but the 2012 team was the one that got to the Final Four.
