36-27 Memphis lead @ half 15-2 Memphis run to go into half was just insane, crowd was going crazy and Norht Texas just refused to call a timeout. North Texas is just running out of gas.....

Any half-way decent team would have put them away by now. They're unorganized, sloppy, and streaky; a team that lives and dies on the three pointer. If they don't lose this one (which they probably won't), then they'll be out the next round.
I turned the game on with about 6minutes left, and it seemed as if the refs were being bias and missed a lot of calls where Memphis was fouling N.Texas. Another thing I noticed is the players on N.Texas are tall as hell.

Shelden Williams' brother actually plays for North Texas, so does Keith Wooden, a former Rivals100 recruit from Arizona State. So for what it's worth, they do have some names on that team. (BTW - Is anyone else sick of Bill Rafferty and Vern Lundquist?)

I had Memphis advancing in this game, but losing in the next round. I need to gain some ground in the standings. I just hope it's a close game so Memphis has to exert a lot of energy and won't be ready for the next round.
Tigers win this one. Memphis had trouble in the beginning, but then after they gained some confidence their play all around was pretty good. They just need to keep playing confidently and they could go further then many people expect. I'm definitely hoping so.

In fact, it's a borderline cockiness. What they lack though is structure and discipline. Their offense is so unoganized. It's an isolation-based spread offense that hacks up more three pointers than any other offense in America, and not only that, but they're the #314th best freethrow shooting team in the NCAA (out of 325 teams). They're going down to Nevada/Creighton guaranteed.
