UVA is not a good matchup for us. They are very tough and play great team D. We would have to play at our highest level to win that game. With that being said if we play well we can beat anybody. We have to get by GW first.

Those Dudes can BALL!!!

Well maybe its the tigers turn to start trending upwards

looking at their schedule, they have some nice results.

GW has lost 4 of their last 9 games. Trending upwards?

That's not bad. They were against other NCAA tourney teams. IDK, I guess we will see. It could be worse.

how long of a drive is Raleigh NC?

Our guys had better not come out thinking its already in the bag.

It's according to how fast you drive, but about it's 642 miles from Memphis. I'd say about 12 hours.

12 hours is driving fast ... plus you lose an hour for the time zone. FYI.

Not sure what JP's overall record is against current A10 teams.

Top of my head he beat Xavier and lost to Xavier, SLU, VCU, and UMass.

I hope he knows they didn't lose cause they watched selection sunday live on TV. GW isn't a team that is going to push us around they resemble us player size wise we should be able to overwhelm them if we play a good game and don't come out flat.

I really hope Pastner doesn't go with the stupid 4 guard lineup at all in the big tourney but that is likely wishful thinking. Playing king at the 3 can give us an advantage on the boards against a similarly sized team.

You're right but he won't play King there. It'd be a risk now because he didn't get him ready. It is what it is. We should get past GW but after that, well, it'd be a HUGE upset for us to see the second weekend.
