Big Time Games This Year

The ultimate checklist of the Top 50 games of the 2011-12 college basketball campaign. From Jeff Goodman:

8. Memphis at Louisville, Dec. 17 (4 p.m. ET on CBS) — The former C-USA rivalry has been renewed and the timing is ideal — as both programs have no shortage of talent.

17. Xavier at Memphis, Feb. 4 (1 p.m. ET on FOX) — Two of the elite non-Power Six programs square off — and two of the rising young coaches in the game, Xavier’s Chris Mack and Memphis’ Josh Pastner.

39. Memphis vs. Michigan, Nov. 21 in Maui (3 p.m. ET on ESPNU) — This is a big-time first-round matchup in the Maui Invitational. Memphis’ talent vs. John Beilein’s system. Interesting.

Memphis is adding a “21″ patch in memory of former Tigers player and coach Larry Finch. Some more surprises may be in store, stay tuned for the season opening game vs. Belmont on Tuesday the 15th!
Memphis. With the run the Tigers have had the past few years, they’ve reached a level above mid-major, perhaps into super-mid-major, or whatever you want to call it. Coach Josh Pastner has done a superb job in recruiting and with those young players becoming more experienced, Memphis could be ready for a deep run.
I’m more convinced than ever that Memphis isn’t a top-10 team (Time to prove the haters wrong!)
Memphis may have company in the C-USA basketball race
