I think the most impressive team, thus far to me has been Memphis. In a lot of my brackets I had Mississippi St. beating the Tigers in the 2nd round. In my defense, it has been their most difficult game since the loss to UT.
The demolition of the 5th #1 cede in the longhorns' coral was tops among the all around dominating performances of this year's top cedes. Memphis is deep at every position even with the discipline doled out against a back up point guard.
I've heard it said that Memphis lacks a certain amount of class. I tend to think that thinking is code, and that the regular season free throw percentage only feeds this perception.
What if the best combo in this tournament isn't Lawson/Physco T or even Collison/Love, but CDR/Rose. Then again some folks from the heartland might argue for C
Chalmers/Rush.
In any event this is a reason to again not congratulate a group of men forced to watched basketball all year and cede a tournament of the best teams. Taxing work indeed. All 4 number one for the first time in 24 years. Incredible men's committee.
