2) A team that loves to run the dribble-drive offense is going against three defenses that are very adept at drawing charges and tightening up in the paint.
3) Memphis also doesn’t pick-and-pop so well. If UCLA is able to force Memphis to take a lot of uncomfortable jumpers they could have a bad shooting day. This is a team that feeds off of their own momentum, so they can’t afford to be down on themselves early.
4) Almost always, the half-court game beats the sprinting one.
5) Don Chaney, jealous of his resume’s omission of a Final Four appearance, will threaten to kill Cal from the third row, egging on the coach into a fist fight.
One reason why the will
Athletically, they’ve had the best team in the field. If they control exactly what they want to do, they will win.

Memphis will get past UCLA's defense. Also, did you watch Memphis' last two games? They can't hit Free Throws?...
One more thing, That is a picture of Rudy Gay from the Memphis Grizzlies, not Tigers.

Memphis blew their last 2 teams out of the water, and they were both good teams. (Probably the best 2 and 5 seeds of the tournament) And if you haven't noticed, they shot over 80% in their last game. Free throws don't matter when the entire team can throw it down from anywhere inside of 15 ft. Memphis is so explosive it boggles my mind you can bet against them. (probably a UCLA fan)
