The time is at hand for the 2008 Memphis Invitational Tournament. The class of Conference USA will play a series of virtual home games against the second- and third-tiers of the conference as those teams fight for their Big Dance lives.
Memphis has had a few scares in Conference USA play, so it’s entirely possible that they’ll stumble in the tournament given that they won’t exactly need to be playing with a sense of urgency in this tournament. Of course, the Tigers could beat, at the very least, the vast majority of the other teams in the conference without giving their best effort. The disparity is just that great. Add in the fact that the entire tournament will be taking place at the Fed-Ex Forum in Memphis, and it just makes the #2 team in the country that much more formidable.
