There's no question that the rest of the teams outside of Xavier and Memphis are much more battle tested due to the league strength. Xavier and Memphis are the best teams in the best second-tier conferences. But the competition isn't there in comparison. Gonzaga is probably the biggest non-con win and they're in the same boat as Xavier and Memphis in regards to being the best team in a second-tier conference.

Just to show the vast difference in conference strength........

Conference USA

Two teams in the top 50 of the RPI
Five teams in the top 100 of the RPI
Seven teams with a RPI greater than 150

Big 12

Six teams in the top 50 of the RPI
Nine teams in the top 100 of the RPI
Two teams with a RPI greater than 150

Conference USA is a nice NCAA tourney warmup cruise for Memphis and that's just the way Coach Calipari likes it. He gets an inflated record, makes millions, and the alumni are happy. I can't say I blame him. It's a sweet gig.

Memphis is a good team and Calipari has been playing the 'no one respects us' card in the meetings and pep talks. It almost resulted in a first round loss, but hopefully for Memphis, they've learned from that situation. The key will obviously be Mizzou's defense by Tiller and Taylor. If they rattle Evans early, Memphis is in big trouble. If Evans only gives up 1-2 turnovers, it's good for Memphis.

For Mizzou, if Lawrence or English gets hot, it's going to be a rough night for Memphis.

What are you basing your fact on that Memphis can not defend the 3 point shot? Ken Pomerory says that Memphis has the #1 defensive efficiency in college basketball. Pete Gillen stated that this is the best defense he has seen in college basketball in 20 years. Are you really basing your opinion of the Memphis defense on one game?

Why would it matter if Evans was rattled? The PG is just one piece of beating the press. If Cal thinks Evans can't handle it, he will just have Anderson bring the ball up. Look up the turnover numbers on him.

Obviously, if any player gets hot, any team can be in trouble. But Memphis is capable of locking opponents down for long stretches at a time. We also rarely play zone, so don't expect much space to get those 3's off.

I am not sure what Gonzaga's conference has anything to do with Memphis. Did you watch that game? Memphis was up by 26 at one point in the 2nd half.

Have you being paying attention to college basketball in the last four years? Who cares if Memphis plays in CUSA? Do you really think it has effected them? They have been to four straight Sweet Sixteens (only program in the country to do that), three straight Elite Eights, and an appearance in the national championship game. Of course alumni are going to be happy and are going to give Cal a raise.

Conversly, what has Missouri done? They would have loved to have hired Cal back when they settled for Anderson. Missouri is half the program that Memphis is right now. The numbers do not lie.

Speaking of really challenging yourself as a team, look at that out of conference schedule Missouri played. That is some sort of difficulty right there.

See- with colleges, especially if you're an alumnus, I think it's ok to use the collective pronoun since you are using the term, say, Memphis Tigers. You are part of Memphis if you went there. No one is under any illusion that GE plays for the Tigers.

Memphis has a nice defensive team. There's no question about that. You'll pardon my laughter when Pete Gillen becomes the oracle on defense. From your description of Memphis, it sounds like a national championship is a given and we shouldn't bother playing the game. Best defense? No turnovers? No way to get 3's off? How can Mizzou or any team beat them?

Memphis is a good program in a terrible conference, which allows them to achieve an inflated win total and get a 1 or 2 seed, which allows for two easy matchups each and every year. In addition, you only have to play one tough program to reach the Elite Eight. That's why you have a string of 4 consecutive Sweet Sixteen appearances and 3 Elite Eights. It's a product of the system. Don't get so defensive about the lousy conference Memphis is in. That conference allows Memphis to have success that wouldn't be attainable if they were in a power conference with tough competition.

I can say with great certainty that I would rather have Anderson over Calipari even now. Even when the Mizzou job was open, I did not want Calipari as the coach. I've heard far too much about him and his dealings with AAU coaches. He's a 'win at all costs' guy and I'm not a big fan of that. But he's definitely found a good home in Memphis.

I would say that Pete Gillen has accomplished much more on the college basketball scene than you have. I am just using relevant statistic data to backup my claim. That is much more than you are doing.

Except Memphis actually steps out of its conference and beats teams that are worth a damn. Unlike Mizzou, who has played the likes of Lincoln (MO - that is bad if I have to clarify that), Missouri Southern, Prairie View A&M, Oral Roberts, Arkansas Pine-Bluff, Murray State, Stetson, SIU-Edwardsville, Centenary College, and that powerhouse Copin State.

Pete Gillen: The Memphis advocate.

You may be new to this whole scheduling thing, but when your conference actually has legitimate Division I competition in it, you don't have to schedule a strong team for every non-conference game. Also, you conviniently left out every good team that we played in the non-conference season. Seems silly given that I didn't do that when discussing Memphis.

Coach Cal does things his way whether you put on the rose colored glasses or not. I know Memphis fans would like to think that Coach Cal's shit don't stink, but that's simply not the case. As long as he doesn't get caught, it's not an issue.

A Mizzou fan here who repsects MBBF's loyalty to the team but is also embarassed by the sludge he throws out at other teams in the same situation. It's not like we are playing Duke or UNC, both of our schools don't get anywhere near the publicity they deserve for their 30 win seasons in basketball.

I obviously hope for a Mizzou blowout win but respect Memphis, hell maybe even will cheer for Memphis if we lose, because they seem the most like Mizzou all of the teams left in the tournament.

Remember not all Mizzou fans are alike. So please don't cheer against us just like you probably don't choose a particular gaming console.

I guess I was mistaken by going by the actual roster which listed him at 6-1 as a Freshman.

That's incorrect, but don't let that stop you. Norm Stewart went to more Elite Eights than Quin did.

Listen, our AD decided to hire an assistant coach from the ACC thinking that people in that conference actually know how to coach basketball. What we found out was that he knew little more than how to sleep with people other than his wife and how to snort a line of cocaine in five seconds or less.

Lesson learned.

All we heard for 4 years was whether Daniel would get to 6 foot tall by his senior year. Why would they be asking that if he was 6'1" the whole time?

Regardless, this is a basketball thread. PM me if you're interested in discussing it further.

So Stewart took Mizzou to 2 Elite 8s in 32 years, and Snyder took them to one Elite 8 in 7 years, with neither coach advancing past that point. Nice tradition you got there.

Probably would have been a better choice.

Yeah, I'm a Texas guy. A fan of a team that has made the Elite 8 three times in the past seven years, with one of those trips moving on to the Final Four.

But we all know that MBBF likes to try and divert the story from places where he can't defend his position, so it is not surprising that he failed at trying to do so.

Texas didn't have that bad of a year. Everybody loses to Kansas State and Missouri on their own court, right?

Diverting would be talking about tournaments previous to 2009 in a 2009 tournament thread.

Go ahead, focus on this season. It is all you've got. Congrats on equaling the Big 12 Conference tourney accomplishments of Iowa State with your win. At least we didn't lose by 25 on the road to Kansas.

You know it's bad when he's using us as a justification for his point

You're right. It's always better to go 9-7 and not get blown out at Kansas than to go 1-1 against them and win 12 games.

Enjoy the fact that you have the lowest 8 years of Mizzou Basketball to taunt right now. It'll be a long time before you get that chance again.
