not knocking a team for beating who they have to play but memphis not tourney tested like ucla. they have a ton of talent and an avg. coach. who is being rumored to be going to indiana. they beat ucla game in november but ask yourself would a ben howland team let them score 80+ now???
ucla +3.5 and moneyline very big...
also lsu +3.
dude, you must be an insider on that indiana job. who would want that job anyway? no one can follow up bobby knight - and i believe alford would get it over calipari. also, if you lived closer to memphis you would know this guy has it made here. all the players work for fed ex in the summer, he has perks out the a$$, and his younger children have been in school here for a few years - i seriously see him leaving after he is finally having success. we have a great team this year, but it still has not accomplished anymore than larry finch did at this point. if we beat ucla today it will be our first trip to the final 4 in 20yrs.....cal has unfinished business here and i can't see him leaving now.
the fear of playing ucla is that are vey athletic and you do have a 7ft ctr - dorsey struggled to score in the last game against bradley's 7ft guy. however, memphis goes 10 deep, we will press(unless you guys consistently beat it, and we can play several different matchups on d - should be a good game. i am cautious, but i will be real pissed if we lose - obviously because i am a fan andd because i think we are the more talented team this year. :shrug:
