Forgive me if I'm late to the party on this.  CBSsports.com just put up a list of their top 55 non conference games of the upcoming college hoops season.  In at number 47:  Ohio at Memphis on December 5.

I really hope that this game is televised.  It would be nice to get a big win over Memphis on ESPN.

Had the pleasure of seeing Memphis lose to St. Louis in their first round NCAA match up in Columbus.  It's not a team that strikes fear in your heart.

   Funny how a team that just 4 years ago (2008) was in a national championship game, is now deemed one that doesn't "strike fear in your heart."

   You know who didn't strike fear in your heart in 2008? How about 11th seed Kentucky who lost in the first round?

   Amazing how one man has the power to draw enough talent to turn a school into a national contender, then leaves that school and does it all over at another school, while the first one plummets.

   That having been said, is there any question in anyone's mind that Calipari is in some way cheating?

They were? I don't remember that. Neither does the NCAA.

I think the attraction for all the great one-and-done players that are trapsing through UK these days is that they won't be around when the NCAA catches up with Calipari and lowers the hammer on UK three or four years down the road.  As usual, someone else will suffer.

My hunch is no, he's not cheating now.  He has a great sales pitch for the one-and-done player and a storied program/school that doesn't mind having that type of program. 

Of course, I thought there was no way that the sweater vest up in Columbus was cheating either.

Agree - they will not be caught "off guard". I am certain this will be a "we had that game with a checkmark" on the their schedule.....................

I can't wait to GO to this game. I'm excited. Should be an interesting match, considering ESPN ranked Memphis as the #12 Defense to watch this year, and Ohio as #7.

Again, I'm excited!
