This Memphis v Tennessee game atmosphere is huge!
ESPN is on location and they've got the place pretty well packed 10 hours before game time!
It would be like XU #1 v UC #2
It gives me chills...I'll be watching.

Re: I'm drinking the Kool aid
I want Tenn to win this game. Not just because it makes X look even better, which it will. I'm not a big fan of undefeated reg seasons. I know a lot of posters here don't like Pearl, but I like the way they play, pressing and using a lot of guys.

Re: I'm drinking the Kool aid
I'd like a Tenn win. I think that the X vs Tenn was one of the most exciting games this year and sure we fell a little short but the guys learned how to play big time basketball and it has helped/
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

Re: I'm drinking the Kool aid
Pearl redeemed himself in my book. Yes he has a good team, but so do we and he brought them to play. Unlike UK who won't play us anywhere. I will be rooting for Tenn. Can't hurt our RPI either.

Re: I'm drinking the Kool aid
8 seconds away from a UT win. Still no mention nationally about a 1 seed for X. It is still too early. Our best hope is for a strong 2 or the strongest 3 if we win out.

Re: I'm drinking the Kool aid
interesting...foul with 4.5 to go, up by three, that way they shoot the free throws...Bruce Pearl sticks to his guns on that idea. Last year after OSU v XU he was OUTSPOKEN on that strategy.

Re: I'm drinking the Kool aid
Pizza D, every coach is going to have their philosophy on whether or not to foul in that situation. My feeling is that when a game comes that somebody fouls in that situation, we see a missed FT and subsequent 3 to possibly win the game, we could see the pendulum swing the other way.
Memphis is a baaaaaad FT shooting team, so it would make sense to foul in that situation.
