The Memphis Tigers are downplaying speculation that their regional tourney match-up Thursday night against Bradley will be a mismatch. Forward Shawne Williams said Wednesday that the upstart Braves are a top, elite team. Memphis is the Number 1 seed and Bradley is 13th. Tigers coach John Calipari opted not to have his team watch tape of the Braves, instead asking them to focus only on what they need to get done. The Braves were loose during their shoot around Thursday at the Oakland Arena, even holding a dunk contest at the end. On the interview podium, players chuckled and looked to each other to answer questions. Coach Jim Les laughed and joked around right along with them. Bradley got this far by shocking fourth-seeded Kansas in its NCAA opener, then beating Number 5 Pittsburgh.
