Lots if similarities tonight as Missouri and Memphis battle for a spot in the Elite Eight. Neither team feels they've been given the type of respect they deserve off great regular seasons, and they both play with chips on their shoulders. Both teams have all kinds of speed and love to press. Missouri and Memphis have both shown killer instinct, but they've also shown an ability to avoid wilting when the heat is on. The one tangible difference that stands out is the ability to knock down the three point shots, and that's where the Memphis Tigers have the decided advantage over their counterparts from Missouri. I think we're in for a great battle between these two outstanding teams, but in the end I'm siding with Memphis to do just enough to get past the number as they advance.
