Ky. will be the dominant team next year …with Wall and Cousins et al they’ll blitz the SEC …… in fact I doubt they lose an SEC game …..

KU has the experience …. experience teams usually win early in the year.

Ku will be favored by probably 8 or 9 …..technically its a nuetral site …… Pastner taking down the number one team in the country will be a good start …… you should have taken Lance when u had the chance …he’s the difference maker …. with Coleman and Lw on the wings rebounding will be tough for Ku …oh did I forget to mention redshirt Angel Garcia …..6′11″ and shoots the trey ….. Witherspoon is another Cdr only faster ….. with Lance running the point Memphis will spoil a bunch of pre-season dreams next year…..starting with KU in Nov.

Just like they were overrated in 2008? yeah and that stiff bill self, man i sure wish KU had a good coach that wasnt a stiff that has won a national title, 5 conference championships in a row (in a power conference) and has us the consensus preseason number 1 for next year.
Collins, Aldrich, Taylor, Mc and Mk Morris, Morningstar, Little, Reed plus X and CJ henry, Elijah Johnson and Thomas Robinson. Ill take that team over memphis any day.

again, i think memphis will be good next year, but KU is the obvious favorite. on paper KU wins, and since paper is the only thing we have now, we wont know for sure until Nov.

since its obvious im not changing your mind, lets ask someone who doesnt have a dog in the fight…

anybody not a KU or memphis fan, what do you think about this game?

Memphis will have plenty of solid experienced players returning …Mack ….Witherspoon …Sallie ….. Niles ….. with Lw and Lance we will kick your ass Jhawk ……. once again Ku is overrated …. pre season predictions mean squat ….. besides …Bill Self is a stiff and will probably lose Xavier to Cal .

“they will be in the top 10 imo and they will kick Ku’s ass when we play in Nov.”

good luck with that.
this is KU’s third game of the season. i know X and the other freshman will not be very good yet. Freshman take time to adjust to the college game. LS and LW are going to be good players, but they wont be adjusted to the college game yet. That means this game will come down to the experienced guys and KU clearly has the upper hand. they have the best 2 players on the floor (Collins and Aldrich) a whole sweet 16 team returning around them and all the experience that comes with that. Memphis has role players from a good team last year returning.

Memphis is going to be a good team, but young teams struggle early on. KU was bad early last year because of their youth. The KU memphis game would be much more competitive in March when memphis is comfortable with there new coach and the freshman are producing at their highest level.

Jhawk ….. the current pre season predictions are mostly from blowhard sports writers who hate Memphis ……In October when the AP and coaches polls come out ….if Memphis has Lance and Lw qualified to play ….they will be in the top 10 imo and they will kick Ku’s ass when we play in Nov. ….. the loser mentality in Memphis fandom was erased by Cal ….and people like todd are anxious to get it fired up again ….. you should also know that the bloggers who post childish hate slogans about Calipari represent a very small percentage of the Memphis fan base .

pasta im going to have to respectfully disagree with the preseason top ten talk. i think memphis will be a tournament team next year especially if they get lance, but i have not seen any publication have memphis on any preseason top 25 list, so your saying if they get lance they shoot up into the top 10? i dont think so.

again not trying to rip memphis but KU and UK are favorites to make the final four and i dont see memphis as one. they will be a good team but not a final four team. im going to agree with tiger todd on this one.

Its true ….I disagree with the Memphis Cal haters ……this type of fan symbolizes Memphis fans of the past …. not ready for the big time Larry Finch loving doughnut eaters. Cal put Memphis basketball on the national map on a consistent basis ….he left …show some class and wish him well ….and to say Memphis is not in Ku’s or Ky’s class this year show’s a lack of knowledge as to what Lance and Lw can do with a solid core of returning players. Its a loser’s attitude ….much like the attitude under Finch ….I disagree with the Cal haters …and I support Memphis ….. simple as that .
