Memphis/Tennessee

[CarlosTheJackal]

Lead, was thinking exactly the same thing. We are so much more athletic than either Butler or Drake, but disciplined enough to play them. Not as athletic as Tenn or Memphis. I would rather play Memphis than Tenn on a neutral court, though. Whatever you say about Bruce Pearl, he as taken that team into some very difficult road games and done very well. They'e number 1 in my book.

Did anyone have deja vu when Korver the younger started draining long 3s?

I though that both teams were super-hyped for the game, and the ESPN folks added to that all week.
I thought the game could have been played on the blacktop outdoor courts where there was no officials, just ten guys going at it.
If either John or Bruce did any coaching in that game, I didn't seen it.
And they who said it was like a NBA game (regular season) were 100% right.
I don't like Memphis (and I posted this earlier) because they can't make free throws. Something that cost UD today, and something that won for us.
Bruce was right ... "they can't beat us with the three (after their first 5 for 8, I think they went 1-15) and they can't beat us at the line."
Having said that however, there was a ton of absolute super talent on the floor.
