SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Memphis and its up-tempo offense will face Kansas and its shutdown defense when the two top-seeded teams meet for the NCAA championship Monday night.

“It’s going to be a great matchup,” Kansas guard Sherron Collins said Saturday night after an 84-66 win over North Carolina. “They play fast, we play fast, play aggressive.”

The Jayhawks (36-3) will try to win their third national title, and first since Danny Manning led them in 1988. A glamour program that boasts the likes of Wilt Chamberlain, Kansas traces its hardwood history back to its first coach, James Naismith - the man who invented basketball.

Memphis (38-1) lost its only previous championship game, in 1973 to UCLA and Bill Walton. Back then, when Elvis was still king, the school was called Memphis State. This week, Presley’s Graceland mansion was lit up in Tiger blue.

There’s not much history between these top-seeded teams, and they haven’t played since Kansas beat Memphis in December 1987. Either way, either the Big 12 or Conference USA will win its first title.
