Took the words out of my mouth. Pretty soon we'll be asking for Tic Price to come back. One win in the tournament we'll get us respect? SMFH

Wow.

It is sad.

Cannot be disappointed in DJ's defense in a single game, they turn on him too.

Sad.

No sadder than the crushing of the others...but a downer.

Who is hoping to win only one NCAA game?

There is a recognition of the pressure in getting that first win...but winning 6 is the goal (spare the play in game jokes).

Let's ignore everything good...because the kids dropped a game.

Actually happened last year.

Perception is the team was selfish etc...after dropping to SLU. Which ignores that they waylayed 7 opponents in a row with "beautiful basketball" before that game.

Played poorly tonight, and lost. It stinks and it hurts. And the venting is normal. But- try and stay on the good side, which is support even with recognition of a poor effort.

I am guessing the game thread is full of Thomas crushing and Joe bashing and even maybe some destruction of the non-Memphis players who usually get a pass.

Prefer to just express frustration at a bad effort and poor concentration for stretches, than to mock our own kids.

Correct, the ****** bags will refer to a team that won 18 in a row, 22 of 23 and many of those over stronger teams than Xavier as a fraud...but it is incorrect.

But yes, F them, and get some wins in the tourney. A likely 30-4 or 29-5 team a fraud. That will bash the hell out of a few teams in March.

Wrong Mimi....tonight it was actually....wait for it.......DJ! DJ? What a pathetic low life scum to bash DJ.

One guy even said D.J. should be thrown off the team because he went 1-7 from the line.

That should be banning bait.

Who is the one saying a single NCAA tournament win makes everything fine? I said a run in the Dance. Most people understand that means Sweet 16 minimum.

People are awnry. We beat a bunch of nobodies. Josh pads his resume' with beating nobodies and we still can't beat a team on a national stage. I mean come on. Tonight was a gimme. A 15-11 team with an excellent history. Because of that we get put in the limelight.

Somebody threw us a batting practice fastball and we wiffed. They have their best player out and we throw up a 20 point first half turd.

Please stop with the Joshpologies. "Oh my god you people are such miserables". Yeah we beat a good Southern Miss team on the road in our magnificent streak of beating nobodies. Who the hell has Southern Miss beaten? Who the hell has anyone in CUSA beaten? Including us.

If you are going to attack, at least have your facts straight. Dee Davis is not their best player.

We can either win at least one game in the dance and finally earn national respect, or we can lose and face ridicule. I think that's what is all boils down to this year.

9 PTs and 3 assists per game. Surely that's their stud.

"beautiful basketball" sounds like somthing they play in wales, not that there is anything wrong with that

Good God, get DJ off this team. I could care less about his dunking skills. He has no business playing D1 ball.

Okay, I missed that. I disagree with EvilLore. Winning a game in the Dance will not earn this team or Pastner respect. They are going to have to make it to the second weekend of the Dance if they want respect.

I heard it here that he was this weekend. I guess it depends on what metric people use to define best.

Going by stats, he appears to be their third best. Not that that makes this loss any better. We still lost to a 15-11 Xavier team missing their third best player.

Last weekend the Las Vegas sports section headline was
"REBELS GET RARE ROAD WIN".

We don't know how good we have it.

Well they did hire Kiffin. Good recruiter, he is. His teams also start each year with great expectations.
