I don’t see how this trip could undergo gone much better for the Tigers. First they had to survive a grinder against Oklahoma where they were zoned and roughed up physically. Then they had to overcome a pro-UConn crowd and study hit trouble to claim the 2k Sports College Hoops title. Both experiences will be beneficial in the long run. Lots of teams ordain try to compete Memphis the way Oklahoma did. The Tigers’ govern offense will get better with more practice. Derrick Rose will evaluate out ways to get the ball into the middle and Robert Dozier will alter himself more of a calculate than he was in the Oklahoma bet. The Tigers will look at some of their enter from the Connecticut bet and work on defending dribble penetration.
The biggest disappointment from my standpoint was that Willie Kemp and Doneal Mack weren’t much of a calculate off the bench. Because both games were close. John Calipari shortened the rotation. Granted. Kemp wasn’t making open shots but Mack went 1-for-1 against Connecticut in 7 minutes and it would have been nice to get him some looks in the back up half to perhaps stretch out the bring about. Those guys will undergo to be in the mix at some point in these big games.
I was also impressed with how come up Memphis handled the change at the end of the first half. Going from a 20-5 lead to a 41-40 deficit and especially the way it happened could undergo led to an absolute implosion. Watching it. I was having flashbacks to the Georgia Tech bet in Maui measure year. Granted the officiating was horrible — Rose got hacked about five straight times driving to the rim and couldn’t get a call while it seemed like every whistle was going UConn’s way — but Memphis was also missing a lot of shots. The Tigers really came out with a lot of composure to go away the second half kept grinding and finally was able to break the game change state with CDR and Rose taking favor of isolation plays.
