The real postseason hasn't started yet. It starts March 20th.
I'm sick and tired of the MISERABLES that post on this board. Yeah, we played absolutely TERRIBLE last night, however, we will obviously make the NCAA Tournament that starts a week from today. (Probably at a #8 seed at worse). EVERYTHING, AND I MEAN EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON! Our guys came back with a vengeance against Oklahoma State and kicked their butts after getting exposed in Stillwater. Oklahoma State should have beaten Kansas! We came within a basket of knocking off FLORIDA, who played great against us on a neutral floor (MSG). Our guys are GREAT basketball players and even better young men.
WE WILL BE READY BY NEXT WEEK. We may not make the second weekend, but we may make the SWEET SIXTEEN, by knocking off a #1 or #2 seed. Coach Josh Pastner knocked off (5) ranked teams this year. BE GRATEFUL and not so negative! Joe, Chris, Geron, MDJ, Shaq, Austin, Nick, David, Damien, Kuran, Hipp, Anthony, Jake, Markel, RaShawn, and Trey NEED OUR SUPPORT!!!!

They get my support when they play hard. Very few played with passion last night.

I understand. That is good. They were zoned out. If they played well and lost by that same margin, then it would be a helluva lot worse. Stay Positive!

RE: The real postseason hasn't started yet. It starts March 20th.
I think the most prudent thing to do would be to withhold judgment until after the tournament (what really matters). This team has been up and down all year. Hasn't lost 2 in a row. They are hard to figure out and anything positive or negative is not outside of the realm of possibility.
Last night was extremely disappointing but that's not the end of the season (for better or worse).

BINGO! You are not ignorant. Your feelings don't cloud your judgement.

Seeding is everything and the opportunity was there to improve our seed in the upcoming fracus. We didn't even make a game out of it.

So you don't support 20 year old kids playing a game for free for your school? Seems kind of loserish.

yup, they can change the whole narrative of the season in one weekend. It's up to them.

Agree. This was simply a pride game with a chance to increase the seed. It hurt...but.. Next week is what matters.

You guys have to be kidding. This was the initial AAC tournament on our home floor against a ranked UConn team that swept us during the regular season. If they can't get up and be focused for that game then something is very, very wrong.

There's something to be said for that level of unbridled optimism ...

Why hold practices at all then? They REALLY don't matter. No performance in practice directly effects seeding.

Have to say- this OP alias and style is one of his funnier ones. Yes- a longer hook- but oh so oozingly positive- how could anyone object?

The day before the game Pastner said in an interview if the players can't get up for the UCONN game after being swept and playing them back at home in the tournament, then they don't need to be wearing Memphis jerseys and they are playing for the wrong school.
