Name: Mario Chalmers, Miami Heat

School: Kansas, 2005-08

Tournament credentials: Won NCAA title in 2008, hit shot to send national title game into OT

My NCAA Moment: Winning the national championship. We worked hard for that, and that we were able to win. That shot was one of the best moments in my life. I'll always remember that. I knew it was good. I was just trying to concentrate on the rim. I didn't want to look at the defender because that probably would've thrown my shot off.

The feeling: We did it! We worked so hard all year and we were able to come out and get the victory. Coach had come close so many times and we wanted to get him in.

I Think About My NCAA Trip ...: A lot of people bring it up right now because it's March, so I hear it a lot.

At Home to Remind Me: My ring. I've got a piece of the net, a ring, a couple of posters, but that's it.

Who I'm Watching This Year: I'm watching Kansas, the whole team, basically because most of the people were there when I was there. I'm still close to a lot of people on that team. I'm definitely watching all the Big 12 teams that are representing for the conference. But other than that, I'm a diehard Jayhawks fan.

My Final Four: I can't remember right now, but if I didn't have Kansas winning, I had Pittsburgh.
