Well, I spoke a bit too soon.

don't worry, i already blamed it on BB

What's with the weird lighting and camera angles? When players are shooting FT's it looks like they have a spotlight on them.

I'm not sure, but it looks really sweet in HD.

Memphis plays some of the worst defense i think i've ever seen.

Mizzou is doing a great job as well.

 

[fourteenandoh]

i have a feeling that missed wide open 3 by memphis that would have made it a 5 point game will be the turning point.

 

[CentralMOBuck]

Can depth be a problem for a team? Sometimes I think Anderson makes bad or quick substitutions. Therefore his players can never get in a rhythm or stay consistent.

 

[fourteenandoh]

Or that missed layup.

i'm not sure there is enough time left

 

[CentralMOBuck]

Tyreke Evans is one hell of a player.

Tyreke Evans is one hell of a player.

but like Ohio State, the lack of a true PG was the difference tonight. Memphis had a hell of a time breaking Mizzou's press without a true ballhandler.

yup.

it still looks like memphis is going to run out of time.

I think Evans is a true PG, there is just no one around him that can do much. Not being able to hit jump shots and FT's really hurts the team too.

he broke it open in the second half, but Mizzou owned Memphis with the trap in the first half. There is a reason Callipari played Evans at the 2 for a majority of the year.

But Evans is special enough to handle that duty. It just hurt Memphis by not having more skilled ballhandlers against the Mizzou press.

Wow, I just got royally Memfisted, had them winning it all. I'm pretty sure I've never seen a more poor performance at the line from either team, ever, even at a girls grade school game. Kudos to both teams for chucking bricks and being spot on with the flat back part of rim that meets the glass. Awesome work! At least Dook got run out of the gym.
