Memphis vs Houston

[PNolanFan]

I am sorry but considering our resume and the teams around us I can't think of a team I would rather see in the second round than Houston. I would love to avoid the SEC teams around us in the second round. I would hate playing 12 seed memphis though

You do realize Houston’s missing two of their best players and hasn’t beaten anyone close to good (a bubble SMU team at home is the only one you could argue) since they got injured?

I'm well aware and totally get the eye test/resume approach. They've been missing those guys since December and are still #5 on Kenpom and #2 on Torvik. Those sites are typically very accurate power rankings and Vegas lines closely match spread predictions.

Yes, but one thing the computer metrics famously don’t take into account is injuries. Vegas will see it quite differently than those metrics would indicate.

Memphis has looked better over the last month or so …

I want a rematch against Michigan St. in the tournament. We owe them as that was one game we had won and let slip away

theyve really fallen off. no longer a "good" loss for us.

No they won't, those injuries happened in December and the metrics have had plenty of time to adjust/are still very high on Houston. They would be around 3 point favorites over us on neutral as it stands currently.
