Memphis New #1 Baby

[Tigers1230]

Absolutly love this. Forever people have said how overrated they are but now it is proven we are the number 1 team in the nation.

[onlooker]

Well I am sure they would have a few losses if they played in the ACC or Big 12. Hell, probably even in the Pac 10.

Memphis better enjoy being on top in the regular season.

[Tigers1230]

I agree with you totally, but I am just happy we are #1 bc. I'm tired of hearing we are always overranked. Oh, and I am addin 10 units on the game tonight.

[onlooker]

Do you think Kansas would have a shot at jumping them if they beat up Missouri tonight? Kansas is a team I see right now as the best in the nation.

[Tigers1230]

I doubt it. I think maybe after a couple more wins but a lot of people wanted Memphis to be ahead of NC, but everyone has agreed Kansas is behind them. I do think Kansas is a freak team and is awsome good. I want to bet them tonight but Mizzou is a good home team and a big confrence game.

[Tigers1230]

Memphis is up HUGE at half (up 21)!!! If they keep this up we will win by 40.

[Tigers1230]

Memphis has been rolling. I think 7-0 against the spread in last 7 games yet the cappers still keep putting low lines down. I will take them everyweek until the spreads get into the 30's.

[McRich]

I made my biggest play of the year on Memphis tonight. Cha-ching!!! I thought they would run the score up because of the UNC loss today.

[Illusion]

I think Kansas is slightly better than Memphis, but not by much. Memphis should gain the top spot since Kansas only won by six tonight at Missouri.

[Tigers1230]

I don't know, after the game tonight I think at a neutral court Memphis could beat anyone in the nation. They are just too deep and too talented. The backups played 3/4 of the 2nd half tonight and won by almost 20 for the half.

Southern Mississippi.

[Tigers1230]

yep, and look at sienna, top 100 rpi and we won by 50. Just saying, unless u have been watching them live or on t.v. don't diss them like everyone does every year. We have the top out of confrence schedule and are undefeated so far. Just wait and see. As I believe some of the top teams have been getting killed by unranked teams or nearly squeeking by (TN and UT chattanooga and Prarie View). Memphis on the other hand has blown out everyone excpt for USC. All I am saying is do not do what everyone has done everyyear and start hating on Memphis and saying they are overrated until you have seen them. All anouncers and sports analysts have been speechless after seeing them.

I just have to fuel the fire, because they can't get it done in the Tournament. I am not saying they are overrated or underrated. They are a good squad and will have to be reckoned with. But I just don't see them winning a championship.

[Tigers1230]

Anyone winning a championship is tough. You can never be 100% on who can go through the tourne undefeated. I sometimes just get a little ticked from people who have never seen Memphis play and say there is no way they should be ranked as high as they are. We have been to 2 straight elite 8's and lost 1 bench player and picked up the #2 high school recruit in the nation. I'm just saying once again we will be picked as the first 1 seed to go out by everyone but instead I think we will at least make a final 4 appearance as long as we stay healthy.

I hear ya. They deserve #1, or at least a split #1.

Memphis is deep? They have no one in the front court besides dorsey. If he gets in foul trouble , waive goodbye to memphis.

[Tigers1230]

really Cee? Once again I don't think you have seen them yet this year. behind dorsey there is Taggart, dozier, and now niles if getting some good minutes. Dorsey has sat for the last 10 min. of the first half of almost every game bc. of foul trouble. Hell, he went out against Georgetown at the 12 min. mark of the first half and we were still up 3 at halftime!!!!!! Please just do some research bc. that arguement of dorsey in foul trouble ended last year.

Dozier is a starter tho. I thought we were discussing how "deep" they are. They have alotta sf, guards on depth. But like i said if dorsey is foul trouble they are f-ed IMO. Taggart has good numbers somehow. 55% from 3 is mind boggling. When i saw him he looked like a POS. Niles is .6 ppg so he's garbage. From my perspective they have 1 guy as depth down low and that's it.

[Tigers1230]

can't argue with someone who just looks at stats on espn and derrives an arguement from that. taggart and nile can both back him up for rebounds. Dorsey i think had 2 points last night and we won by 40. he doesn't score, just rebounds and blocks. look at niles' and taggart's numbers in those catagories compared to their minutes.

Can't argue with someone who's a homer and thinks memphis is the best team in the world either. Niles is .9 rebounds a game, seems powerful. Taggart is 4.5 which is decent.

Those guys can never make up the defense memphis loses when dorsey is on the bench. He's the best defensive player in the country IMO. blocks shots/rebounds he's just amazin' to me. Without him people drive by memphis guards and have no fear going to the rim, they score easy. When dorsey is in, he picks em up underneath and blocks/alters their shots. But i learned that from looking at stats and not seeing memphis play, so u win.

[pokernut9999]

I think when you have 10 players averaging over 10 minutes a game that is pretty deep. But Cee knows better.

How many other teams play 10 guys that much ?

[Tigers1230]

i don't know. All i am saying is that they are very deep at each position and have earned the #1 spot with their out of confrence schedule.

[pokernut9999]

I agree with you 100%

Just like to hear Cee's response to them not being deep when they play 10 guys at least 10 minutes a game.


I love Memphis

[Tigers1230]

I'm sorry if I seem like I am trying to talk trash but I'm just tired of hearing the same arguements people have been saying for the past 2 seasons.

If you actually read my post I said "They have alotta sf, guards on depth."

I think memphis is the best team in the country. I'm gonna pick them in my bracket. I think douglas-roberts is the most under rated player in ncaa baskets.

I'm just worried about when dorsey is out. B/c they lose so much on d. With him in , they are simply amazin on Offense and Defense.

[Tigers1230]

I agree. The big test for them is if they go against a team with a true center, like UNC. I think that will be the deciding factor that MIGHT give them problems but we will see.

[pokernut9999]

Sounds to me like you are questioning their depth.

[Tigers1230]

nope. Taggart doesn't have the size or physicalness like dorsey. However he is a much better scorer in the paint. I still think we can beat anyone in the nation if dorsey is only in for 15 min.

[Cee]

Yeah, teams with front court depth will give memphis trouble for sure. I agree .UNC seems overrated so far to me. Lawson is amazin, other than that ellington /hans are pretty nice. Other than that i haven't been impressed that much. I guess it's the same as dorsey, if lawson is in foul trouble, waive goodbye to UNC. I can't believe quentin thomas plays. He turned it over 4 times in a row on getting it stolen/bad passes. He's a joke.

Anything could happen in the tourney tho, So who knows. Should be a blast this season. Alotta teams are similiar. Especially in the big east. I can't wait, seems like alotta upsets.

[Cee]

All i was saying is 1 guy in the front court on depth isn't too good. Other than that, they fine.

Perhaps, but you gotta love Memphis!

[pokernut9999]

Absolutly love this. Forever people have said how overrated they are but now it is proven we are the number 1 team in the nation.

And 2 1/2 months later , nothing has changed.

I know , 5 points were scored as I hit submit.
