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.”
