Holy Cross Reported Backs Out of Game in Memphis

Never Mind

Wednesday, May 16, 2007 Never mind

Holy Cross won't be going to Graceland after all.

The Commercial Appeal in Memphis reports the Crusaders have dropped off of Memphis' schedule, opting out of a reported $70,000 buy game.

John Calipari told the paper HC had dropped its commitment to play the Tigers at the FedExForum. Since HC never announced the date, we will wait until there is word from Ralph Willard before buying into Calipari's renege allegations.

Our guess is most likely no contract had been signed and Calipari likely was premature in announcing the game.
