Memphis reminds me of the early 90s UNLV teams, right down to the eventual sanctions that will follow them. They're amazingly athletic and tough to slow down. Kansas is a hell of a team, but Bill Self scares me a little to be honest. I predicted them to win because they and UNC had the ability to drop a 15-0 run on you before you knew what happened, but Kansas actually plays defense. My prediction: Kansas 87, Memphis 78 Your thoughts?

Early thoughts

Kansas will exploit Memphis' "we can block every shot" mentality to get their big guys in foul trouble. Bottom line though, they're going to have to find a way to slow down Rose if they want to win.

These aren't college teams

in the traditional sense. I've gotten more of an NBA game feel watching the final four this year. It's weird.

Has Memphis ran an offensive play this entire game?

"The only people who like Jimmy Buffett are frat boys and alcoholic girls in the south" ~ Eric Cartman

by chandrathan on Apr 7, 2008 10:37 PM EDT   0 recs

No

they're not very good at that. That's how you beat them, make them run a half court offense and shoot free throws. I only hope Bill Self knows this.

Remember

It's always better to be lucky than good, there's much less work involved.

There's also this gem: "Luck is merely the intersection of opportunity and preparation." Let that blow your mind.
