It’s been a while since I was this pumped about a basketball game. It’s the regular season, and when No. 1 and No. 2 face off, it doesn’t really mean much; they’ve both stamped their name into the tournament, and the outcome of this game shouldn’t much hinder any future success.

But is No. 1 vs. No. 2, and when one of those teams is your team, it’s extra fun. Most the country is picking Memphis: They’re the favorite, they’re at home, and they’ve got a bunch of talent. I’m going to stick with what I said earlier, and say that UT pulls this thing off by two. I don’t see Memphis playing tough defense, and I see UT getting too many open looks from beyond the arch.

My final score: UT 87, Memphis 85

Enjoy the game. I’ll be thoroughly drunk by halftime.
