I will be the first to admit I have not seen this team more than once or twice but I think they are horribly overrated. Out of control, can't make ft's

dominated alabama with chuck davis.
dominated a healthy ucla
destroyed wisconsin-milwaukee
dominated cincy with armein kirkland
nearly beat duke
beat tennessee.
lost to texas.
beat gonzaga.

they look like dogshit tonight but their OOC resume speaks for itself. normally im skeptical of teams from weak conferences (and c-usa is awful this year because of the defections) but memphis is pretty legit, regardless of this lame effort tonight.

They won by 10..............UTEP is a hard team to run up the score on........they play tough defense and are very deliberate on offense........as bad as everyone thinks Memphis looked in a 10 point win........did Duke or UCONN look any better the last 2 nights?????

ET4646..........we will see if Cincy gives Nova a run for their money tonight.............

Like I said we will see maybe they will prove me wrong. By the way I wasn't talking about how much they won by, they have great athletes i'm not real sure if they have good basketball players.

Well they could have possibly the best point guard in the nation and Carney's numbers are better than Redick and Morrison per minute........

Thats a fact.........unlike foots we will see how some of these teams really perform under do or die situations where they actually decide it on the court..........

You do realize that Memphis has already beaten Gonzaga and only lost to Duke by 3 .......holding Redick to no 2nd half points and Morrison to 1 fg in the last 7 minutes...........

I watched them early live against alabama and they were impressive. We struggled mightily but their tempo dictated the game the whole day.

Memphis played the best part of their schedule early against good teams but not in-season ready teams. Think this will hurt them in the end. This was a even game if Tofi had been able to have his average game. The points will be looking good early in the tournament.

Well Tofi blew out his knee so I dont know how he could have had an average game unless you are counting it like him not getthing hurt.

"average game"- what if Carney had his average game or if Washington had his average game... Douglas-Roberts picked up the slack a little, but those two had terrible nights and they win by double digits... although it didnt cover :mad:


I wouldn't write off Memphis as a team who will see close action early in the tournament... keep in mind they have beaten some teams pretty handily this year, but everyone only seems to remember the close ones, like they expect Memphis to win by 20+ everynight, they have the talent for it, but things don't work that way

And Shawn Williams had a veryu subpar night........if fact Douglas-Roberts was about the only player who had a good game and they still won by 10.......I think thats why Calipari is stressing defense so much.............on those night when you offense and shot go south then you can always count on your "D".........like last night.........
