November 19, 200718 yr A team with a strong inside offensive threat usually gets Dorsey in foul trouble, then Memphis loses rebounding on the inside, then they are relying on outside shooting. Rose is going to be a great player, but he does not look like he is going to be a consistent outside shooter. That was something they will miss with Jeremy Hunt graduated. He won a lot of games for Memphis.
November 20, 200718 yr Did anyone get to see this one? I had to work and missed it. Box score says CDR had 33 and Rose had 24... I did. I think Memphis ran the same offensive play 20 straight times in the second half and it didn't matter. Rose is very good, but CDR is great offensively. I think they have the most talent, but I'm still not sold they can cut the nets down b/c they play nobody in their conference that will get them ready.

November 20, 200718 yr Pretty sure that's why the Tennessee game was scheduled for late November... I'm not sure I follow. I will be the first to admit that I haven't looked ahead to everyones schedule, but I'm guessing UNC, UCLA, Tennesse, and the other good teams from power conferences will be more tested from January until March. I like Memphis a lot this year, but I think that along w/ free throw shooting will haunt them late in the tournament.

November 20, 200718 yr I meant February. My bad... I figured it was later in the year, but one big game for the last 3 months doesn't change the fact that the challenges they get in the conference for the last 3 months of the year are nothing like they'll see in the tourney. I think they are very very good, but that eventually not seeing enough stronger competition in the conference will hurt them.
