Sweet 16 matchup: Texas A&M vs Memphis

It's on like Donkey Kong, Yeager :war:

On a side note, hope Douglas-Roberts is able to play. Don't want to be beating a Memphis team not at full strength

I don't know anything about A&M other than Law but I have said all season long if we get too the sweet 16 it's been a great season. CDR will be a huge loss if he can't play but he's not our only player. We go at least 8 or 9 deep. Jeremy Hunt would be a starter on most teams and he's not even our 6th man.

I can't believe I'm going to actually make HH feel good about his team...

But I got A&M winning this one. I'm open to debate yeag if you want to try to change my mind. I just think A&M is more battle tested and used to gutting out the close ones. I think their talent is pretty comparable, so if it comes down to the final seconds, I gotta go with Acie.

Like I said I don't know enough about A&M to compare the teams.

The local news is reporting Douglas-Roberts is going to play. The good news for us is we have had to play without him before earlier in the season. The bad news it wasn't against good teams.

If it's a close game in the final minutes send some guy in off the bench and take Law out, it will be worth the two shots and the ball and whatever else the refs want to do to you guys.

j/k of course, sort of.

If it comes down to a free throw contest we are screwed. We only shoot 61% for the year.

If it comes down to a FT shooting contest, A&M has a decided advantage. Memphis was the 3rd worst team in FT% in the NCAA this year

That is good, but A&M better hit their FTs better than they did in the 2nd half against Louisville.

Acie Law is the freaking Adam Vinateri of college basketball. Money.

Paging Heavy Hitta to blow a gasket over that last foul call, paging Heavy Hitta!

 

[calico]

3.1 seconds to go and it is a 1 pt Memphis lead...I feel a Law game winner here.

EDIT

Holy crap A&M just got screwed on the clock there with 2 seconds left...how do the refs see 1.1 seconds off the clock!?

That was a screw job indeed. Boooo, my first elite 8 team eliminated.

And even though I was ribbing Heavy, I think that foul call was a little suspect as well.

He smacked him across the chest

Great game by both teams, but A&M choked...

btw... what the hell was that 1.1 seconds off the clock stuff by the refs... that was an outrageous blunder...
