Hope the staff is making contacts while on this trip.
Yep, I am very impressed with the quality of Canadian hoops. Just think if they were keeping some of their centre ring players like Tyler Ennis and Andrew Wiggins.

RE: Game Updates for Memphis vs Ottawa
So Indiana played Ottawa a few weeks ago and lost, right?
Any other D1 teams play Carleton at all?

Indiana lost to Ottawa 109-101 but beat Carleton 95-85. Carleton was playing without it's best player, one of the Scrubb brothers in the Indiana game. Carleton also beat Vermont. Illinois-Chicago is the other team on the Canadian trip. They lost to Carleton 64-49 and Ottawa 79-76.

The power of the 3 pt shot. Allowing a team to go 50% from long range is akin to letting them go 75% from 2.
Yea.. kind of mind boggling. They score 6 threes and we gotta score 9 twos. Plus we gotta stop them three times unless they are missing their Triples.
In the first half, they don't seem to miss their triples...and more than one player bombs you. Carleton had four players making them...but as many as three Triple shooters on the floor at the same time. Scrubs brothers and one other...I think.

RE: Game Updates for Memphis vs Ottawa
It looks like they (Canadians) play basketball wide open just like they tend to play football........ The number of threes attempted by Carleton and Ottawa is astounding.

Aren't you the chump that yesterday claim the opposing coach let up on the tigers when in fact he didn't?
Actually what he said was that the other coach put in his scrubs or that they had a letdown after the big lead. He wouldn't be caught dead saying anything good about anything.

Sometimes when a poster does that, I can't tell if he's just being a joykiller to get people riled up or he really believes what he says. But I took him literally at the time. O well, in essence, maybe it's the same thing.
Great assessments and incites, Stammers. It's good having you there. You're going to need to learn to text blindfolded, so you can watch at the same time.

I have yet to find any one of these posters, or their countless aliases, to believe what they say, their relentless negativity is strictly to rile people up because their egos are so bereft of accomplishment they must drag others down to their level so as to even feel a part of the human race.

Yeah, it is too bad this website doesn't have a flush option for such crap posted by some of the haters. All of us have bad days, but it seems the haters NEVER have a good day when it concerns the Tigers.

Most of us probably know or 'grew up' with someone like that...lol. Criticism seems to be the norm every day about everything. It's mental.

Yep, they do indeed rile up some folks, which is probably their sole accomplishment to date.

There is a nice small article in the CA online by Jason Smith about how the team looks to be a tight group, good chemistry. This doesn't happen by accident, Josh should be given full credit. I look forward to going to the games when they tip it off for real!
