Yeah, there's always the occasional crappy half. That's a product of the system and, as a fan, you just learn to understand that it happens occasionally.
I do think that Memphis has the best opportunity to pick off Mizzou. The reason is that they'll have 5 days to prepare for Mizzou's system. If Mizzou could make it by Memphis, I don't think that the team we'd face in the Elite 8 would fare well with only 24 hours of preparation. Ditto for the winner of the Marquette-Utah State game when they face Mizzou in the second round. 24 hours is not enough time, no matter how good of a coach you are.
