RE: Memphis bball game
I always expect my Blazers to win.
Realistic expectation? Getting boatraced.

RE: Memphis bball game
Ive watched Memphis play 3 times this year. I would put them in the same category as Kentucky except UK is a better shooting team. Memphis even without Wiseman still has a lot of length.

RE: Memphis bball game
I'm a student at UAB, but my dad was a grad so I've been following blazer bball and fball my whole life. Attendence wise, there hasn't been any publicity on campus for the game, which is pretty sad. I'm expecting there to be a near 60/40 split with the majority being Memphis fans

RE: Memphis bball game
If we play like we did against UK I can see a W, but that's a huge IF

Change it on campus. We had to camp out to get tickets in the Mike Anderson years for the Memphis game.

The buzz around fball is actually pretty high. I think the same could be for bball, but first we have to win

I don't see that split because most of Memphis will be in Memphis for the AAC Football Championship which is almost at the same time as this basketball game. Both schools screwed up when planning this game. Had no for thought what so ever.

Usually if you slap a #15 in front of the opponent people will still show up. I was at Auburn when they were a peak trash program and the only time students would show up were against ranked Kentucky and Florida.
I do feel like there hasn't been enough publicity about this game. This is the highest KenPom rated OOC team to come to Bartow since Stephen F. Austin in 2016 and I haven't heard people talking about it besides reminders at Bartow and some emails.
