Yes, this picture looks like Tiger coach John Calipari is praying for a miracle. My take is that he is giving thanks to God for the man standing next to him —Derrick Rose. Rose was voted MVP of the south regional in the NCAA tournament after his Tigers dominated against number 2 seed Texas 85-67. What a big win for Calipari and his talented squad.
Many of The pundits have shown no respect for Memphis. (Exception is Digger Phelps)
Here is an example posted by ESPN on March 27th —- ALL of the experts picked Memphis to lose:
Will Memphis be tripped up sooner or later (or not at all)?
Bilas: Memphis (will lose), to Michigan State in Sweet 16
Davis: Memphis (will lose), to Texas in the Elite Eight
Fraschilla: Memphis (will lose), to Texas in the Elite Eight
Gottlieb: Memphis (will lose), to Texas in the Elite Eight
Rankin: Memphis (will lose), to Michigan State in the Sweet 16
Vitale: Memphis (will lose), to Michigan State in the Sweet 16
Well, well, well, look what has happened. The truth of the Tiger’s talent surfacing to the top.
It is great to be heading to San Antonio.
David- my CBS Sportsline bracket is doing great: I’ve got the HEELS over the TIGERS in the national finals, and I picked the whole FF correctly (even had Davidsion in the regional finals). That makes me like #20,107 out of several million entries, even though I got hammered pretty good in the first couple rounds.
If the Heels don’t win, I sure hope the Tigers do! I know you guys are having a blast, and that my favorite city will go bonkers if Calipari’s troops come home wearing new rings!!!
