All I ask is that Memphis presses. It seems the Tigers will plod along until a certain point (like in the UCF game) and then finally start to lay on pressure.
I think Memphis should do that from the get go. Establish tone and pace. Make them play our game, not vice versa.

I agree. Love Austin but not going to happen with him jogging down the floor-don't know what what is wrong with him-anyone have any idea? He is so slow running the floor-don't recall that early in year.
This game is not showing up on the Serious Sports TV link for me, only First Row as far as I can tell. Does anyone know if this is going to be the only online option for today?

Ive noticed Austin at times will run the floor with his head down like he's running sprints. I'm sure it's a difficult to keep up with his teammates at times. A little conditioning in the offseason will fix it. He might be best suited for smaller intervals on the court so he can impact the game evenly throughout, instead of the start of the game and small spurts afterwards.
I haven't had a chance to see SMU. Is their crowd rowdy this year? Will Larry Brown switch his defensive schemes much? Good test for us I hope.
