Posted March 3, 200620 yr comment_5616 Even though I am actually now rooting for Memphis, I have to laugh at this one. UAB was 20-5 going into the game but not even ranked in the top 25. Even Coach Calipari knew they would lose this game. "We've been slipping for about 10 days," said Calipari. "When it gets rough, we're not as coachable as we need to be. They beat us to every loose ball down the stretch." I still think they are deserving a #1 seed in the tourney but they way Memphis is really dismissed by everyone, I dont know. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/recap?gameId=260610005
March 3, 200620 yr comment_5629 I figured you would make this topic. lol Or that someone would anyway. The team played hard for a while, just not the whole game. I am listening to the radio right now though and every single one of the 3 hosts are saying it was "criminal" Calipari didnt have Carney or Washington in. They said no matter what they did wrong, you cant take those main clutch guys out at the end of the game. Basically Calipari lost us this one. And I am his hugest fan. And think about it when do I not blame the officials? I am very honest and the officials were GREAT. I wont lie about officials just for an excuse. As for the #1 seed, they SHOULD get it still IF they dont lose another game. Becuase texas is too far out of the hunt now. UCONN, Villanova, or both will have to lose in their conference tourney. Duke may lose tomorrow or in their tournament. We beat Gonzaga and have their same record. So it is pretty much between us and Ohio State for the final slot.
