Kansas at Memphis (04/07/2008)

Memphis  -1 1H

Kansas +2.5/Under 148.5   parlay

Prop:  1st H-Memphis/Game-Kansas...just for kicks (odds on this are 5-2)

Good luck all, this REALLY is a crapshoot, but should be a good close game and hope I make some  watching it while drinking my Stellas

Didn't you also say that Louisville would win the tourney back when they were playing Tenn?

I will take Kansas here and I will stand by my pick 100%.

KANSAS+2 (5 units)

That was the worst I've ever seen UNC play this year when they were down 40-12, and they still damn near brought it all the way back against Kansas.  Kansas also struggled against Davidson.....which leads me to pondering something I heard Robert Montgomery Knight say at the beginning of the tourney.  He said something to the effect of the team with that has the most concentration and mental toughness is the team that's going to win the tournament.  Nothing about what I've seen out of Kansas the past two games says mental toughness.  Athletic?  yes.  One of the top defensive teams in the country?  yes.  One of the best coached teams in the country?   no.  A more mentally tough team than Memphis?  no.

Memphis is ready to show the world that they weren't the # 1 ranked team in the country most of this year for no reason.

I've got MEMPHIS ML  -130.  I do expect it to take everything they have to beat a tough Kansas team.  This will be a very competitive and fun to watch contest.

  GOOD LUCK TO ALL TIGERS BACKERS!!!!!!!!!!

Kansas ML +110

Kansas is so much deeper then Memphis in the frontcourt.  Dorsey gets in early foul trouble...again.  I like Kansas overall team an maturity better then that of the Tigers.  Rush will frustrate CDR leaving Rose to "do it all."  I'll take the experience and balanced team with Kansas over Memphis.
