Should be a great game but I think Memphis and their athleticism wins it.

I don't care who wins it. Both teams play an old school style of basketball and I like that. There won't be any ground and pound basketball in this one. If both teams are hot from the field then the first one to 90 should win it, but I hope it makes it to triple digits. I can't stand all the teams out there with control freaks on the sidelines. Hopefully more teams will try and adopt the style Coach Pearl is using at Tennessee. There's just a handful of teams out there playing that old Arkansas and UNLV style of basketball.

Not really. Memphis plays a very modern offense. Check out the SI article about Vance Walberg who created the offense they run. It's a great read. I think it came out two weeks ago or so.

Wrong

I already read that last week. They play an old school style of basketball in that THEY RUN. Wahlberg took principles from many different offenses that have been around for several decades. It's only new in that it's derived from several different systems. The ideas are nothing new.
