Shabazz Napier of UConn after dropping a 19 point loss on Memphis on their home floor, via Twitter:

@Eli560: Napier on why they've shot so well here. "I don't think it's the building, I think it's how Memphis plays defense."

That's gonna leave a mark. They lost to UConn three times this season.

Yep. It is bad up here. You can't go under an overpass without dodging the jumpers.

BTW, I've heard several times that it is CUSA's fault they got beat last night. Apparently they still have that CUSA stink on them.

And the usual complaints that Pastner can't coach because he doesn't curse his players.

Why are they being so ridiculous? Memphis has done well this year, although not outstanding.

Did their fans really expect a national championship this year?

They're Memphis fans, of course they did.

Most set the bar at a Sweet 16, which is still possible but unlikely with 7-9 seed.

Lots of empty seats at the Fedex Fourum tonight.

Eerily similar to UK fans, No?

Nope. Crabby and unrealistic, sure, but the Kentucky fans are the basketball version of Alabama football fans. They're the gold standard for unrealistic expectations.

Like this year's "40-0" t-shirts...

We have our own tradition with regard to prediction T-shirts, don't we?

I've got a Beat the Heels t-shirt that worked out okay.

Uhhh, NO! Those were "Spirit Shirts..." Not a stupid, egotistical, perfect-record predicting t-shirt.
HUGE difference.

My tradition with those shirts is to use them when waxing the car.

And I don't mean wearing them while I work.
