If I may Butt in here? I would love to see Hansbrough go up against Love.

We have to get by Memphis first though and that won't be easy. However defense usually wins the big games and UCLA plays a great defense.

In my bracket I have North Carolina betting UCLA.

How much are they laying down and is it straight up or is there a line? What is the over/under?:)

Straight up, NC all the way!!

Memphis is currently a 2 point favorite over UCLA

Good, the underdog role works for me.:) I wonder if this spread takes into consideration Memphis' backup point guard Andre Allen's suspension?

Andre Allen is the backup to the backup.

My mistake. I was under the impression that Allen was the backup coming off the bench. He has the highest assist numbers of all the reserves, maybe that's where I got confused.

Well, it's kind of skewed. Antonio Anderson has been playing backup point in the tournament. Allen played that role mainly in the regular season. However, he really screwed up early in Mississippi State game and Calipari benched him so far down the line that he didn't keep a clipboard copy of turnovers.

I guess we'll see how it all plays out on Saturday.

I'll say this, if the suspension of Andre Allen has ANY ramifications in the UCLA game....then Memphis didn't belong there in the first place.

You're probably right Tx, but losing a senior who is the top assist man coming off the bench while providing 14 minutes in the rotation per game could have an impact in a close, hard fought contest. At least I hope so.:)

Mike, we're buds so I can say this. If that will help you feel better about tomorrow please use it. Memphis fans aren't even concerned about it.

I'll use it Tx, but I'm still nervous as hell.:)

I just saw footage of Kevin Love making a full court shot at the Alamodome. That guy is a freak. What a talent. Looking forward to the matchup between him and Dorsey today.
