The Dagger - NCAAB



You know what I think was going through Bruce Pearl's head as soon as he decided to grab Erin Andrews and demonstrate the defensive techniques Memphis used against Chris Lofton?

"Man, I really wish that Memphis has decided to defend Chris Lofton by vigorously dry humping him until they suffered severe friction burns on their junk."

That's what I think. I could be wrong.

But yeah, the unauthorized touch of Eric Andrews just caps a great night for Bruce Pearl. He coached circles around John Calipari. His Vols won because they decided to pack the lane on defense and continually dare Memphis to take quick, bad shots. Memphis can run a halfcourt offense, they just didn't last night. 

The Vols forced Memphis to be patient and poised, and they couldn't do it. Most of the points Memphis got came off of insane natural ability from Derrick Rose or Chris Douglas-Roberts. Rarely did anything come from a well-executed offensive play.

More about this on Monday, I'm sure.
