Tigers' teeth
Memphis coach John Calipari has been talking lately about the Tigers' lack of national respect, and Monday he said the way his Tigers played lately shows they are deserving being in the Final Four, where they will face UCLA.
"They way we played this weekend, we deserve to be in the Final Four,'' Calipari said. "We were really defensive-minded. We were really unselfish. We really took care of the ball, and offensively, we really executed.
"You got to see the true gist of the third and fourth drive, the back door cuts, the post-ups. Ya' know, all the stuff we do, you got a better vision of it for those that didn't know about it."

About Inside UCLA
This is Brian Dohn's sixth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.
i'm pretty tired of this routine. we get it, you made the Final Four and looked good; shut up and coach.
hopefully he keeps complaining about the lack of respect, and the bruins show him why they don't get it.
