Hate to admit it, but I have to agree that the Aggies will spank Memphis pretty good. A$M has too many weapons, they will be playing in front of a large mass of their cult like fans and the best player for Memphis is injured and may not play.....all adds up to bad news for the Tigers.

Would love to see the Aggies lose but see them winning pretty easily.

Memphis has got at least the talent of A&M-absolutely no doubt in my mind. However, do they have the heart of Acie Law.

I think Memphis plays down to the opponants level and show time it a bit. I think if their star is still limping, it could be a long night for Memphis. But they are deep and talented. I expect a very good game. In the Nevada game (remember Nevada was ranked in the Top 10 a couple of times this year), they got sloppy when they got a big lead and then when Nevada made a run at them poof they turned on the juice and the game was over. I agree it will come down to heart and most importantly in the NCAA tournament, free throws. Whoever can drain them from the charity stripe wins. Remember, fouling is a strategy.

While its quite possible that they will lose, Ohio St. has 4 NBA players on its team including a great post pressence and one of the 5 best PG's in all of college hoops. They won't be an easy out for anyone.

Agreed. If Memphis loses it will have nothing to do with lack of talent. They are an amazingly athletic/talented team. I'm not sure if they are as mentally tough, well prepared and conditioned as A&M though.

Which is obviously the fault of the weak conference.
