Apparently...
...Memphis would have survived okay in the Big 10 this season. Gracious.
Play like that again, and even John Calipari's worn-but-effective we-don't-get-respect-card might start to look sillier than it does even now. By the way, Calipari is a good coach. Deal with it.
Oh, and Mike Freeman, owner of an absolute hatchet job on Memphis from sportsline after the team's win over Mississippi State, this time around goes with back-handed compliments. See, it's stuff like what flows from Freeman that gives Calipari the juice to play the respect card. I guess Memphis fans should thank Freeman for that. So, thanks.
Oh, and perhaps the easily confused Freeman, who continues to insist that Memphis doesn't run an actual offense, might find time to peruse this piece back in February from vastly superior writer Grant Wahl of SI. Matter of fact, to any of you who missed that piece on the dribble-drive offense that is currently sweeping all levels of bsaketball, go there and read it. It will be the tonic to ignorance from the uninformed.
