This is overall performance for teams and its players. We may have a better head-to-head record vs. Memphis, but because of the conference they play in, they're always going to have a much better chance at good W-L records and making the tourney. In my opinion, Memphis has always been an under-achieving school for the talent pool that cycles through there. This year I was surprised they made it as far as they did in the tourney. Calipari knows how to coach, I suppose, but for whatever reason won't play Arkansas in the regular season. My guess, he doesn't want to lose recruits to us (see Todd Day as an extremely dated example).

We're WAAAAAAY better than Memphis! I could accept tied with Indiana. I don't even mind the Louisville thing so much. But Memphis? Someone with better internets skillz than me needs to find out what our all-time record vs. Memphis/Memphis State is. That’s crap! We’re WAAAAAAY better than Memphis!

In either case, I totally spelled "sooieing" incorrectly. That's not even a word! For shame. It shows up both ways on Google searches. In either case, I totally spelled “sooieing” incorrectly.
