Hibbert was a no-show against Memphis. If he played that poorly against the Vols, I'd take Tennessee in a matchup with the Hoyas. |

I realize that Hibbert struggled with Dorsey. My point is - if Hibbert struggles, so too do the Hoyas. |

Neutral site - close game
At GT - Vols "should" lose, but I wouldn't bet against them |

EDIT: Even though they did get blown out at the end, they were hanging with the #2 team in front of, arguably, the loudest crowd that Memphis has produced in years. That is my thinking anyway.

| Texas absolutely blew out Tennesee at a neutral site, and I don't think anyone thinks Texas is better than Memphis. |

| Very true, but a blowout to Memphis at home in front of almost 19,000 is much different than getting blown out by Texas in New Jersey. |

| GT was a complete no show as a team Saturday. I think the pollsters realize it was a bad game and give them the benefit of the doubt. Another loss and they will tumble in the meaningless polls.
As for Hibbert Saturday. Dorsey deserves some credit, but I believe I could have shut down Hibbert Saturday. His general demenor is quiet, but that dude was sleep walking. That was about as poorly prepared top ten team I've seen this season. |

Elite 8 Memphis Tigers should have won by 10 last year at TBA.
Texas with Durant should have won by 10 at TBA. |
