Having Watched Memphis For A Half...

I feel comfortable saying the UT game against the Tigers will be played at a breakneck pace. Lots of young guys playing that fast, the ball will be flying all over the place. The spectators in the first few rows might want to invest in protective headgear.

In Knoxville, yes. The game in Gainesville is another story.

60 turnovers maybe in the Memphis game?

That being said, UT *should* have dropped both last year.

Somewhere in that neighborhood. I hope John and Coach Pearl are able to keep their respective blood pressures in check.

I agree, Hat. The Memphis game will be exciting! I have heard alot of people say that Memphis will be a team to watch even with the loss of their top 2-3 scorers.

They're in much the same boat as UT. They'll have some growing pains but, come February, the Tigers will be very good.

Looks like Tennessee will be their first real test besides the win they had over a decent Oklahoma team.

Oklahoma's not very good. Memphis still has the Georgia Tech-Purdue winner and UCLA or Kentucky left out in Maui.

Yep... I was looking at their schedule and forgot about the Maui tournament. I guess, we are the toughest firtst opponent they will face other than the teams they might face in the Maui tournament.

Hat, when do you think that Memphis and UT will be a good rival as far as basketball goes? I am talking year in year out could it be this year or do we have to wait?

I think it's a good matchup now. Two charismatic coaches, two teams on the rise. If they continue to play every year, it will develop into a solid rivalry.

Win or lose, I think UT, and Tennessee basketball (the state, not the university) will benefit greatly from a UT/Memphis game every year, in a similar manner to UK vs. Louisville.

I like a little rivalry between these schools especially after that reporter this past summer pestering Coach Pearl
