February 22, 200818 yr Memphis will be too much for Tennessee on the Tiger's home court. Memphis by 5.
February 22, 200818 yr I don't think Memphis will be ready for this one, and will come out sloppy, but it will remain a good game. I'll take Tennessee in this one by about 10. Lofton will have a good game if his teammates decide to pass him the ball every now and then.
February 22, 200818 yr Memphis has been playing close lately and I think it will come down to free throws and MEmphis is horrible at those so I will take Tennessee by 5. Memphis is shooting 59% on their free throws. Tennessee is shooting 64% on their free throws. Both teams are bad from the line. They'd have to shoot 100 freethrows apiece to give UT a 5 point advantage if they shoot their percentages. I think the home court is the deciding factor.
February 22, 200818 yr Going to be a frantic paced game. I think with Tennessee's bench and their experienced backcourt, they win this game by 5. 90-85. I'm really looking forward to Saturday night.
February 22, 200818 yr I think Tennessee wins this one. Memphis has been struggled to pull out W's lately against their conference USA foes and are horrible from the free throw line. Memphis hasn't seen a team as athletic as Tennessee and with as many scoring options as Tennessee either. Tennessee by 5-10.
February 22, 200818 yr If Tennessee wins, would they be No. 1 when the new polls comes out next Monday? If so and if UT keep on winning till the Cats played them agiain only this time it will be in Knoxville. A great opportunity for the Cats to take down the No.1 team.Now I know I'm thinking way ahead of myself,but I'm a fan so I can do this.Back to the prediction I say Tennessee wins by four 81-77.GO VOLS,now what did I just do.Ok,:eek: I'm a UT fan for this game only.
February 23, 200818 yr It is home court advantage in City only. Memphis may be playing at the Fed. Ex. forum, but there will be a hefty Tenn. crowd, and I would expect there to be SEC refs. Dorsey will pick up two quick fouls on the tip ball, and it will go downhill from there for Memphis. Lofton will have a career night like he did last year...and nobody will win (I can't pick Tennessee!). I would rather Memphis lose in league, but a loss to the no. 1 RPI team won't kill them. The Patriots showed that going undefeated is too much pressure for any team these days.
February 23, 200818 yr I normally would be pulling for the SEC team in a matchup like this but this is the disgusting orange Rotten Flop that we are talking about . I can't stand Memphis either so I am completely neutral in this one. Should be a great game and I hope that it is. Memphis 81 Tennessee 73
February 23, 200818 yr UT wins this one. Memphis will find out what it's like to play a tough opponent. At least I hope.
