And they only have 1 way in, through us. I like the way we're playing especially DHam and Jalen.

And they basically got a bye today. Houston and Tulsa's no shows this tourney could play a factor tomorrow.

Memphis is a top 70 team on KenPom, so they're certainly no push over, and Lawson and Goodwin are really good. They key is to not get bogged down by the general sloppiness and lack of discipline that a Pastner coached team brings to the table.

battle of front courts, but I think the huskies are just deeper bring two impact players off the bench. Hopefully we can get Goodwin in some foul trouble

Play hard, win, enjoy selection Sunday. Two days ago, it was pretty unclear, now it's all out there for our kids. It's going to be a great day.

I'm pretty nervous about this game. Still not sure how we won the game in Storrs ( the infamous standing in 110 game.) Burrell didn't play in the blowout win. They're obviously a talented team and now with the tournament in their sights that is dangerous. Additionally, we've seen how hard it is to beat a team 3x.

Yup. I am terrified of that front line.

I was thinking about this 3x thing. It definitely is difficult but really we should've been 3-1 against Cincy and Temple. We were reeling against Memphis at the Gampel game but handled them pretty easily on the road. They're an enigma but I think we finish the job tomorrow.

Last time we beat Memphis 3 times in a year, we know what happened

The game where they took a lead late in the 1st half and then never gave it up?

Weren't we losing with under a minute to go in that one?

I remember them controlling the entire 2nd half and then in typical fashion trying to hand Memphis the game on a silver platter but hanging on.

edit: you're right, Memphis took a short lead with a 3 from the corner, then UConn made free throws to take back control. But they did control pretty much that entire 2nd half.

Yeah I remember thinking we'd played better than we had in a while and being shocked that we might lose anyway. But we didn't, so it's good.

It's our duty to make sure a truly undeserving Memphis team does not redeem their season tomorrow

Memphis is a talented team that has won their last three games by a combined 72 points. They're just one of those teams that makes college basketball the most unpredictable sport on the planet. Who knows...if they beat us tomorrow, I'd have to think they're pretty scary as a 12 or 13 seed.
