slufanskip Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 first poster in the thread seems to think so... i like this game...i believe Memphis has been in 3 different conferences with STL...Metro, Great Midwest, and Conference USA (may be 1 more i can't think of) this should be fun. There you go then ... any time you get the stars aligned just right and Eustachy and the first poster in a thread agree, you have no choice but to follow suit. Zone it is.

UofMemphis Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I didn't know they had the Dexter Manley plan at such a fine academic institution such as Memphis we actually get guys like Penny Hardaway and Keith Lee to come back and finish their degrees...once a Tiger, always a Tiger.

JMM28 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 well, all i'll say is it's not an issue for Josh at Memphis...i'll give you an example...here's the STL team seeing their seeding: This is Memphis: (as you can see...we were expecting a 6/7) This is exactly why we are going to spray Memphis brains all over the court on Friday.

Agree, should be fun. We both got a bad draw in the first round. Memphis will be favored slightly but they should be playing a team they will rightfully dominate. The committee gave you guys the shaft. Majerus is 10-1 in the first round of the NCAA. The Billikens are much more athletic 1-3 than is popularly known. Mitchell, McCall and Jett are very quick and skilled but only Jett brings size. Our 7' center should present problems for you ... if we could get him to go underneath and post. He likes to hang out on the 3 point line and fire them up (which he is actually quite good at). It should be interesting. BTW, as you might have guessed, we be in man the entire game.

prebilliken Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 The Bills will play the zone and die by it. Also, look for them to push the ball. The faster this game goes the more it favors the Bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufan13 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Ok enough joking around. These Memphis fans deserve to know the truth. It doesn't do fans any good to lie about our teams. We play a tough 2-3 zone about 80% of the time. The anchor of the zone is the man in the middle, a 6'9 junior center named Willie Reed. He's an athletic freak and while not overly skilled, he's a very hard worker on and off the court. He could have gone pro last year but he decided to come back and finish his education.

Billiken Rich Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 The more I think about this, the more I like the thought of a team trying to out-quick us rather than a team trying to out muscle us.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team A) Wearing the same uniforms, gripping each other like brothers, estactic at the oppurtunity to play more basketball with their best friends. Team Just woke up, pissed they have to be at this thing. Not talking to each other. Each on their cell phones.

UofMemphis Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 with Memphis I would expect a line up of: Joe Jackson - PG Will Barton - G Chris Crawford - G Wesley Witherspoon - F Tarik Black - C ------------------ Antonio Barton - PG Adonis Thomas - G Ferrakohn Hall - F DJ Stephens - G/F expect Memphis to go man-to-man and press/trap a lot.

Dickey is a true point guard that also is a dead eye shooter from deep. He makes our team go on offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
