No, you can't. Nor can you save without a gamecube memory card.

You need both a Gamecube controller and a memory card. Also, the Wii will act as a GameCube. So the wiimote will be useless on the GameCube games likeyou can't press on the home button during a game.

What happens is that the console basically switches it's hardware to "Gamecube yo", so no Wii-specific features will work. This includes bluetooth (for your wiimote) and HDD access.

So in order to play GCN games, you need GCN controllers and memory cards.
