Why are we one of the "lucky" ones to play Memphis twice this season and last season?

I know how the football schedule works with the teams from the East side of CUSA, but wasn't sure how it worked in b'ball.


The league added a conference game to everyones schedule last year and the coaches got to choose who they wanted to add. Doh chose Memphis so we now get them home and away every year.

Interesting. Well, as they say, if you are going to be the best, you have to beat the best. I look forward to the year when we can at least split with them!

I know he considers himself a shooting guard but I have been impressed with his ability to drive to the hole, using either hand & making some very nice passes. I like how he goes to the hole with a purpose. Its been nice to see how his confidence has grown throughout the year.

Harp is the only person on the team that I have seen that can take it to the hole using either hand. He also does a good job shooting with his right hand.
I never picked up on it watching the road games on TV but when I see him live its obvious that he has a lot of potential in this role.
Early in the year he was picking up his dribble beyond the top of the key with nowhere to go. He seems much more comfortable now.
Hopefully Walker will also start showing this skill soon.
