They mention us getting pummelled on Senior night and 120 points scored inside on us. And Memphis being loose and us having to win. Not much support from them. They also pick UCONN (surprise) to win the tournament.

I'm sure Haith loves being the dog and welcomes anything he can pin up on the bulletin board. Does UConn hold classes on the Bristol campus, or does ESPN have a studio on the Storrs campus? I can't figure out that dynamic. There are 4 others teams playing much better than UConn right now...... Temple, CIN, TU, and UH. The Kevin Ollie shine has started to tarnish, time for the media to remove their lips from UConn's backside. UConn doesn't have the PG play that has carried them as in years past.

The most underrated and potentially entertaining Semi-final matchup will be TU vs UH. I'm picking CIN vs Temple in the other. I don't see UConn beating CIN 3x's this season. Hopefully a CIN win over UConn will trim the Huskies from the heard and push Temple, TU, and CIN into the tourney, with the semi-final loser ending up in Dayton and the finalists securely in the field as 8,9,10 seed, or 11 seed with a bye. This conference has been a 3-bid conference since start of Feb.

I don't see Memphis beating TU with Shaddy getting reasonable minutes and the Zebras allowing players to defend vertically with no contact. Memphis has been pretty pathetic playing away from FedEx, (3-8; won at UCF, at ECU, vs Ohio St. neutral in Miami)

I guess ESPN failed to watch their own broadcast where we were ahead at half and in the game until almost the end despite only having two big and them getting a foul called on them every time their shoes squeaked.

per Sagarin, which closely follows the Vegas lines, TU will be favored by 2.5 or 3 points. I expect a close game but for TU to win by more.
