This just in.......there's a big difference between a press run by a 10th seeded Williams-coached team and a press run by the 3rd seeded Anderson-coached team. No guarantees that Mizzou will win, but there's a huge difference between those two presses.
I'm concerned about the prep time that Calipari has in this matchup. It's a lot easier to get ready for Mizzou with 5 days of preparation than it is to do it in 24 hours, which is what the next team will have if Mizzou wins. Anderson's going to need to throw some wrinkles into the system just to keep Calipari guessing.

He was not comparing the two presses. He was simply stating Mike Anderson might want to think twice about pressing after Memphis literally shredded the Maryland press.
Memphis has the athletes and length that will tear almost any press apart. Very few people are successful at running with Memphis and winning. Memphis is something like 93-2 the past three years when scoring at least 75 points.
