College BB: Kansas Defeated; Memphis Lonely on Top

Well, well, well...

If you remember correctly, I believe I said that no NCAA basketball team will enter the tournament undefeated. After last night's upset on Kansas, Kansas State has helped to prove my point.

K-State beat Kansas by nine last night, but it really was not that close. I am not saying that Kansas St. is better than Kansas, but home court advantage is huge in college basketball.

Do I think that K-State will beat them in a couple weeks? Hell no! But it is just too tough to win every game in college basketball because the fans are nuts everywhere you go.

A little side note about K. State—they probably have the best player in the country on their team (besides Hansbrough) in Michael Beasley.

I am not going to lie to you, I had no idea who this guy was until about 5:30 last night while I was watching PTI and they started talking about him. I watched the highlights of this kid play and I think that he is very good. He has range from the outside, can hit numerous threes, and can slash to  the lane if needed. Kansas was sending two guys to him every time he touched the ball and he still took over the game. I was very impressed!

Now, onto the lonely unbeaten team—the Memphis Tigers.

This team, if you remember correctly, had the best chance of going undefeated throughout the regular season. They are in the weakest conference and are one of the top three teams this year, but still I don't think they will run the table until the tourney.

That means they will have to win Conference USA, win their tourney, and then, if they want to win the whole thing, win six more games...

Not gonna happen.

I think they will end up with one loss. I am going to give you two games and one of them will be that loss. It's not going to be for a while though. Their next four games are at home so the date I am looking at for them to lose one is either Feb. 20 @ Tulane or the following game against SEC powerhouse Tennessee.

Even though this game is at home, Memphis will have to be on their A-game to beat the Vols who, I might add, I picked to go to the Final Four.

Either way, Memphis will lose one of those two games...BELIEVE IT!
