Memphis mauls Mean Green
NEW ORLEANS - Memphis finally showed some strength in the second half by pulling away from the 15the seeded Mean Green. But on the whole, I really don't know if Memphis is a top eight team in the country. The team that I just saw was not a top eight team. They played well, have some athleticism but also have plenty of flaws.
About 20 minutes to tip off here at the New Orleans Arena. Michael Stacy and I are courtside with updates.
The already half-full Arena has cleared out following Memphis' win, so the crowd will be sparse for the Nevada-Creighton matchup. This crowd will pale in comparison to the full Scottrade Center of a few weeks ago. 22,000 pack that house but today will be under 10,000. The New Orleans Arena holds 19,000 but is not a sellout.
