Good Luck Bendi, I think MIzzou has a good shot at winning this game and should easily cover.

I have them losing to Syracuse in the final

Especially that powerhouse offense of CS Northridge


Memphis is capable of shutting down pathetic offenses

Memphis has yet to shut down a prolific offense


Syracuse got whatever they wanted

I'm going to be on the Cuse for sure tim. I LOVE people claiming Syracuse is too inconsistent and blah, blah, blah. Just proving they know absolutely nothing about them. Syracuse is awesome when healthy. This run isnt a fluke. Onuaku's knee finally stopped hurting him right about the time they went on this run. Flynn was banged up and Rautins had a lingering knee injury as well. This all arose right about the time they had a midseason dip in form. I've said ever since that this team is awesome when healthy and they have proven me correct. When HEALTHY they won IN memphis, basically IN kansas and beat florida on a neutral court. Then once they regained they health won IN marquette and made the run through the BE tourney. So I dont want to hear shit about Jeckyl and Hyde team.

I'll take it easy on you b/c you are obviously a homer

Memphis will struggle with the press and athleticism of Missouri. When they dont have the superior athleticism on the court they struggle. It's well documented. Dont let the Maryland game fool you, they may have the worst athletes in the history of the ACC

I hope this line goes to 6 at some point. I'll be dropping serious units if it gets that high

It isnt easy

But I enjoy it so I can tolerate the hate I get

In the end I know I make money doing this so I have no problem with a few rough weeks

I would be careful with this pick here. Ever since Evans has moved to PG Memphis has been a different team. Yes, Memphis plays a weak in-conference schedule, but they have shown they can matchup with anyone.  The Cuse game you are referring back to was way long ago, and the tigers have gained so much more to their game since December.. The tigers streak of 20+ games is no coincidence. This is a very talented, experienced and well- coached team, and could be one of the most soundest defensively teams I have seen in a long time.. I would agree with you if Missouri had some good shooters, but this team will struggle to score 60 points on Thursday.  If you look at the schedule Memphis played and compared the teams you would have to look at Uab, Tn, and Gonzaga.  No, these teams do not display the defense that Mizzou has, but they are all very similar and that press will lead to a lot of dunks for the Memphis boys.. good luck with your pick, just wanted to throw out my two cents even though u probably already knew all of this...
keep doing a great job
 
memphis 76   missouri 67

So the last good team they played was too long ago to count? 25 wins in a row or whatever they have is impressive but I think there are possibly 8 teams left in the tourney that would go undefeated through the C-USA schedule every year. Tyreke Evans has made a solid transition to point but he hasnt had a challenge like this yet. Truth is he could absolutely suck against this pressure. The key to this matchup is Memphis taking advantage of the open 3's they will get in transition. If Evans can break the pressure and hit Mack and Sallie they will probably win. But I dont think either of them will be as hot as they were and Evans will show hes still a freshman against this veteran Mizzou team
