You shouldn't worry about stopping Thabeet because you won't have a chance to play against him after you get beat in the Sweet Sixteen.
I think Memphis is a better matchup for Missouri than Marquette. Marquette was kind of a worst possible matchup for Missouri, besides a team like Uconn with a 7'3" beast. But Memphis is obviously a lot better than Marquette, so Memphis is still a tougher game than Marquette.
Tim has major bias, he wore a Mizzou tie a week ago. And Mariotti doesn't count. So really it's 1-1. Bill has won me over because I like his articles and Woody makes me laugh.
Memphis really shouldn't lose this game. Missouri doesn't really have any major talent, and Memphis is loaded.
Mizzou is up by 13 @ half...Mizzou is a team effort but Carroll stepping it up with 8pts/4reb/6ast so far
If Missouri wins this, and Duke gets their act together in the 2nd half, I'll be 4/4 on the Elite Eight.
