Coming in as heavy underdogs, Dallas turned some heads today with a solid 104-86 win over Memphis. Said one broadcaster, "I didn't know Dallas were that good, quite frankly. They really haven't done much all season, but the way they came in and handled Memphis showed what they're capable of."

The thoughts were echoed by Memphis coach Bob. "We had pretty thorough film sessions coming into the game, and we never saw them execute that well. [Dallas coach] Bob did a great job getting them ready, and we'll have to see if this was a one-time performance or if they can maintain that level of play."
