I think we have the better team but they did look pretty good today.

They are a mediocre SEC team. We already lost to one of those (Auburn) in our only P-5 game this year.

No reason we shouldn't beat MSU if we think we are a team that should have received an at large to the real Tournament.

They have been through a tough SEC conference schedule. This isn't going to be cake walk.

End of the season BB tournament games can go either way. upsets happen

NC was very upsetz. Kansas was upsetz. Texas.... o yeah...I almost forgot... 8 teams from the Big Ten were upsetz.

Josh Shipp (played in the league)
Mbah Amoute (played in the league)

The only one of those who were a freshman was Love, who was a super duper 5 star can't miss one and done. Westbrook was a sophomore.

I would argue the reason we killed them was because of Howland. Kind of like the old saying... the only man who could stop Michael Jordan was Dean Smith.

I say MEMPHIS was the MOST talented team in the country that year

In terms of raw talent, I'd say UCLA was. As a team (talent and chemistry) I'd say it was us or the team that actually won the Championship, Kansas.

Kansas didn't win, Cal lost.

Missed free throws lost. Hit them and that takes fouling before a 3 out of the equation.

Now 5

So far our defense looks filthy....every time MS state goes on offense my “somebody pooted” face comes on.

Looking at how pumped the players were before tipoff, it was plain to me they were not going to be defeated. But to manhandle Moo state as they did, that was impressive.

Interestingly enough, we are 1 spot ahead of Kansas and 1 spot behind Texas in the Pomeroy rankings.

30 Pomeroy
32 Sagarin

In Sagarin's "RECENT" rankings, which weight recent games more heavily, Memphis is up to #11.
