Dorsey...I can promise you that Oden won't toss him around. Oden may weigh more, but Dorsey is nothing but muscle. |
Frankly I think if A&M won and we were to play the Aggies a lot of us would be worried about 'em too, except for their offense and not their defense, as well as their home-court advantage. |

Well, they're from a mid major conference, but that team isn't a "mid major"
Wha wha wha, Memphis. Ask Kirk Ferentz how far the US against the WORLD stuff gets you.

Of course the team feels disrespected. Every time a commentator talks about them, they always discredit what the team has done this year because we're mired in CUSA, so we're obviosuly not as good as our record implies, we're going to get exposed, and all the other crap they come up with. |

Hogan: Buckeyes Have Bulletin Board Material
Mar 24 2007 8:56AM
Friday was a quiet day in San Antonio, but Saturday will be downright nasty as Ohio State and Memphis will do battle in the final game at this site.
The game, at 4:40 p.m. on 10TV, will reveal the first participant slated for Atlanta. During Friday's media session, players apologized to the fans at home for the heart palpitations they've caused the last two games, and said they'd rather not go through that again.
Meeting Memphis on Friday was a hoot. John Calipari is a comedic coach who said there are a few pundits out there who he doesn't want to pick his team to beat Ohio State because "they picked the Germans in World War II."
There is a general feeling of lack of respect among the Tigers and they played that card all day. Joey Dorsey will guard Greg Oden in the post and was outspoken about how he'd handle the task. Good bulletin board material, saying he would have a 20-rebound game and "I haven't seen him on a great player, play good defense."

That is basically no different than Ohio State being viewed as the weakest number one seed.....I mean Memphis is a two seed......someone respects them. The us against the world attitude will only go so far....

TALKING BIG
MEMPHIS STAR: OHIO STATE'S ODEN OVERRATED
March 24, 2007 -- SAN ANTONIO - There's little doubt that, from the vantage point of Memphis center Joey Dorsey, he's in for quite a battle today when he goes against 7-foot wunderkind Greg Oden.
Thus it was no real shocker yesterday when Dorsey, a confident 6-9 junior, anticipated his confrontation with Oden will "be a little like David and Goliath." Only Dorsey believes he's playing the role of David. "It's two great big men going up against each other," said Dorsey, who was just warming up. "I'm an underrated big man and he's a lot overrated as a big man."
