NCAA Tournament Recap: #10 Maryland vs #2 Memphis

 

 

No. 2 Memphis (33-3) 89, No. 10 Maryland (21-14) 70

Key Moment: The Tigers jumped out to a 17-6 lead because of their defense and never let Maryland look at the game.
High Point Scorers: Memphis -- Tyreke Evans 19  Maryland -- Greivis Vasquez 18
Analysis: When people dismiss Memphis' record because it plays in Conference USA, they simply do not understand how good this program is. Coach John Calipari has said he believes this is a better defensive team than last year's national runner up squad. Maryland simply didn't have enough answers against the swarming defense. The Tigers put five players in double figures.
What's Next: The Tigers advance to the Sweet 16 in Glendale, AZ and meet the winner of Sunday's second round game between No. 3 Missouri and No. 6 Marquette in Boise.
