The 26-0, number 1 ranked Memphis Tigers, are taking on the number 2 Tennessee Volunteers. I haven't been this excited for a college basketball game since the Ohio State vs Georgetown last NCAA tournament. This is the game of the year by far. St. Joe's a few years ago was the last time a team almost went undefeated for the season. These in state rivals both average above 80 points per game while holding opponents to around 60 points. Both have a run and gun style of offense and on paper are extremely similar. Tennessee is led by Tyler Smith and senior Chris Lofton. While the show time Memphis Tigers are led by Chris Douglas-Roberts, Joey Dorsey, and outstanding freshman guard Derrick Rose.
I like Tennessee in this game. I also expect Chris Lofton to have a huge impact and clutch performance as well.
