Oddly, I think UConn matches up better with Memphis than they do with Missouri (though clearly Missouri has less NBA-caliber talent). Without Dyson, they aren't well equipped in depth and ball-handling to deal with the press.

I expect Memphis to have one or two runs in them before the game is over, but right now Missouri is playing great ball.

Missouri is starting to lose it... my only question, is it too late for Memphis? Under 3 minutes left!

Close but no cigar.... great effort by Memphis but there's too much damage done in the 1st half and the early 2nd half.

Kentucky, Arizona. Time to anti up and get Mike Anderson on the phone.

I hope that Mike sticks to his guns and stays at Mizzou. Not a bad basketball tradition recently ala Quin Snyder era with Paulding, Johnson etc. He is building it up again after the scandal. I expect him to stay there for a while and have some tough fights against Kansas.

Mizzou is the better team with more chemistry but UConn is more talented and has better athletes. The team chemistry is close though with Price in the game. Mizzou has simply unreal ball movement and Leo Lyons is an underrated passer.

Walker is playing like a senior out there, he's playing great for a freshmen.

Great shots by Walker and Safford back to back, 2 young players not usually depended on for the big shots.
