Will the real Memphis Basketball stand up??

My alma matter men's basketball team is having an identity crisis. There are some games the team played like they are destined for the NCAA tournament. There are times they play like a team that don't even deserve to play in their conference tournament. The latter team showed up and lost to Houston last night. I can't remember the last time Houston had a good team. Maybe the 1980's????

There is a lot talent on Memphis, but their performance throughout this year has been inconsistent. There has also been some off-court distractions. These distractions are the type you don't want making your sports page.

I was really hoping that this was the year that Memphis would finish top of the current incarnation of Conference USA. Next year the conference will undergo a face lift with several schools departing to different conferences and new schools will join the conference. It would have been nice sending those schools leaving with some losses instead of victories over us.
