The 2008 NCAA Division I men's basketball championship game was the finals of the 2008 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament and it determined the national champion for the 2007-08 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The game was played on April 7, 2008, at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas and featured the South Regional Champion, #1-seeded Memphis, and the Midwest Regional Champion, #1-seeded Kansas.

All four #1 seeds were in the Final Four for the first (and as of 2024 only) time in NCAA Tournament history and, for the second consecutive year, the national title game was played between two #1 seeds.

1st Half

Darrell Arthur's 8 points and Mario Chalmers's 5 points in the first eleven and a half minutes gave Kansas a 22–15 lead with 8:30 remaining in the first half. Then, Chris Douglas-Roberts scored 7 points in 4 minutes to tie the game at 28-28. A Brandon Rush 3-point play and a Darrell Arthur 2-point jumper gave Kansas a 33–28 lead at halftime.

2nd half

Antonio Anderson got off to a hot start in the 2nd half to give Memphis a 36–35 lead. Then, with 13:35 remaining, Darnell Jackson scored 4 points in the next 30 seconds to give Kansas a 43–40 lead. Then, Derrick Rose would score 4 points in the next 2 minutes to cut the Kansas lead to 45–44. With 8:30 remaining with a 47–46 deficit, Derrick Rose got the show going with 10 points in the next 4 minutes to take a 56–49 lead. After Robert Dozier made a pair of free throws to give Memphis a 60–51 lead with 2 minutes remaining, Kansas began a furious comeback. It started with Darrell Arthur making a 2-point jumper and Sherron Collins making a 3-pointer to cut the Memphis lead to 60–56. A pair of Mario Chalmers free throws and a Darrell Arthur basket cut the Memphis lead to 62–60. With 10 seconds left, Derrick Rose missed the first of his two free throws and made the second to give Memphis a 63–60 lead. With 2.1 seconds left, Mario Chalmers made a 3-pointer to tie the game at 63. Robert Dozier had a chance to win it, but his desperation halfcourt heave bounced off the backboard, and the game went to overtime for the seventh time in the national title game's history, and the first time since the 1997 National Title Game, when Arizona beat Kentucky 84–79 in overtime.

Overtime

In the first two and a half minutes of overtime, Brandon Rush, Darrell Arthur, and Darnell Jackson each made a basket to give Kansas a 69–63 lead. In the next minute and a half of overtime, Chris Douglas-Roberts scored 5 points to cut the Kansas lead to 71–68 with one minute remaining. Mario Chalmers and Sherron Collins each made a pair of free throws to give Kansas a 75–68 overtime victory over Memphis and Kansas' first national championship since 1988.[15]

Aftermath

Memphis would have its entire season vacated due to problems with Derrick Rose's SATs.[16] On March 30, 2009, John Calipari became the head coach at Kentucky.

Kansas would return to the national championship game in 2012, but they would narrowly lose to Kentucky. The Jayhawks would win their next national title in 2022.
