Especially in a game like basketball. This is the longest streak since 1974 by the way. And on top of that we have a 47 game home win streak. Also another accomplishment.

Your narrow mindedness and fanboyism towards Duke is ridiculous. You are oblivious to the fact that there are better teams out there. And that the ACC isn't the only conference with good teams. Memphis has made it to the Elite 8 the past 2 years with a overrated team by your standards. I guess you just don't remember the VCU game do you? Yeah, first round last year? Your beloved Blue Devils got outplayed by VCU. Atleast you made it the Sweet 16 the year before that right?

So for the last 2 years the "Overrated" Memphis Tigers in their horrible conference have done more and played better than your precious Duke team that you seem to worship. And now this year when we have an even BETTER team you say we are still overrated. Yet you have given me, nor anyone else, a reason to believe you. You base everything off of your horrible one sided opinions and obviously don't know much about college basketball if it doesn't have to do with Coach K or Duke.

Am I saying Duke has a bad team? No, they have a good team. Not anything amazing though. But a solid team nonetheless. They could desperately use a big, down low guy, because 3's aren't going to win every game for you. I know. But you can't even begin to call us overrated when you have nothing to support your claim.

I'm not saying we are going to win the National Championship this year. Heck I'm not even saying we are going to beat the Vols. I think we will, but you never know in college sports. But I am saying we deserve whatever credit we can get and we are much better than people like you make us out to be. People that whine about one loss and blame everything on anything but the team that lost. If we lose on Saturday, you won't see me coming in and complaining about the refs. And if we win, I will gladly respond to another idiotic comment you make about how we are still overrated.

yea, ballinzman is such a duke NUTRYDER that its embarassing, it really is....he has really no objective opinion to offer on any college basketball subject or topic

Have any of you watched a tennessee game this year. We are 10x better than last year. Haha Kansas kid talking wow, when are yall going to get rid of bill self. Guy cant even make it past the elite 8 with all that talent. This is the year Tennessee will make the final four

Honestly, last year i thought that Memphis was the most overrated team, mainly because i had never seen them play and the fact that they played in C-USA. I had them losing early in the tourney, but was wrong. You cant really say they are overrated this year, considering what Butcher has posted and in this game i see them coming out on top

i don't follow college basketball but i don't think Memphis is that good of a team. they are in the American conference and haven't really played any good teams.... just my personal opinion...

... People like you really shouldn't post your opinion. Every conference is an "American" conference. We are in Conference USA. Just because we don't have the "history" like other schools doesn't mean we can't be good. We HAVE played good teams and we HAVE won. I really don't see where you are coming from.

Did you read his post at all? He named 5 or 6 GOOD teams they beat earlier this year.

This game will be VERY good and I hope I have time to watch it.

i want memphis to win, but i bet chris lofton carries tenn to a W.

phikapman87 · #28 (**permalink**) 02-20-2008

memphis is comin in with all the confidence in the world, its gonna be tough to knock them off, i just dont think tennessee can do it

regardless of this game, memphis is gonna be a tough match in the NCAA tournament

Memphis plays in sucha weak conference and their key wins are against teams that are not finishing their season so strong as of now, like Georgetown, who I feel hasn't impressed many. We will see though, they are one hell of a team but I really want Tennessee to win. Should be a kick ass close game though.

I can't wait for this game. In the past couple #1 v.s. #2 the #1 came through with the wins. But Tennessee will walk away with the win Saturday night.

Hopefully UNC can walk away from NC State with a win. :\
