Memphis has been beat 11 times so far this season, so they can be beat. On the other hand, other than the South Carolina and the second UCONN game, all the Tigers losses have been close and to some good teams too. Shaq Goodwin is a one man gang and their freshman 6'8" kid Dedric Lawson is their second leading scorer and leading rebounder. I thought Goodwin was about 6'7", but he is listed at 6'9" 235 lbs.
If you look at it honestly, they beat us by 15 out there and they are probably a legit 15 points better than we are at this point.. They have a very experienced team except for Lawson (FR) and he's a BTP. We are a good rebounding team and they are a better rebounding team than we are (42 to 39 rpg and they played tougher competition).
I like the way our guys were moving the ball vs ECU. We are long and play pretty good defense. I'm not expecting a win, I just want to see us play them close. The way this season has gone, that would be a moral victory. It would also prepare us for the AAC tourney. That being said, I will add that I would love to win Saturday.
GO BULLS !!!!!
