We broke them.***
I would advise you to check out Auburn. Actually Memphis vs Auburn play tonight. The best team in the country will be featured in that game and I’m not talking about Memphis.
I don’t know I’d go that far. They’re on a heater right now for sure and playing good ball but they’re shooting out of their minds. Don’t know if they can keep that pace.
Todays game against Auburn will be must see TV.
We split with pretty much the same team (for the most part) last year and beat them in Starkville, and that was with The Artist Formerly Known As Tolu Smith starting at center and sleepwalking through a single-single (9 points/6 rebounds) and Shakeel throwing bricks at the backboard from three.
Penny was about to be written off by even the wooliest Tigers and he goes on to knock off Hurley and Izzo. He's got life left. Hopefully we manage to snuff it out.
I’d like to see what we could do against them in a sold out Hump. Unfortunately we only play them in their place this year which typically means bad things for us.
I mean you’re comparing apples to oranges with this. Auburn is likely going to contend for a 1 or 2 seed, I think Utah and SMU are solid but not 100% sure either one is even a tournament team.
I think Auburn will be a challenge for anyone to beat. I’m just saying every decent opponent has been a “bad matchup”. Is there a decent team that’s a good matchup?
I think the matchup thing only really applies when the team we are playing has similar or better talent. We had more talent than Utah or SMU so that kinda outweighs it for me.
I do think matchups will matter a lot in conference play.
Broome is their big matchup problem for us in my mind. But he's nothing we haven't seen before.
Memphis getting their *** handed to them right now. Auburn is feasting off Memphis turnovers.
