No comparison. Getting slapped around by Little Rock ain't nothing like getting rolled by a top 25 team. I was there. It was humiliating. Lots of people got off the Tubby train after that game.
Slapped around by LR?
You sure you were at the game?
Memphis spotted them an early lead and proceeded to outscore them 63-41 the last 28 minutes of the game.
There are tons of examples where lesser team are spotted an early lead then run off the floor the rest of the game.
The Cinci loss was the worst loss in the HISTORY of the rivalry.
Now, THAT is being slapped around.
You must've been watching wrasslin.

What about my post above is incorrect?
1) Memphis spotted them an early lead.
2) [Memphis] proceeded to outscore them 63-41 the last 28 minutes of the game.
3) There are tons of examples where lesser team are spotted an early lead then run off the floor the rest of the game.
4) The Cinci loss was the worst loss in the HISTORY of the rivalry.
--I'll await an explanation of which of my statements was incorrect.
This is like the time you bragged about being correct so far in your W/L prediction, and I pointed out that your very first prediction was a win against Alabama! LOL
1) Spotting someone means you voluntarily let them start out ahead (a few points, a few car lengths, whatever), so once again, you're wrong before you even get out of the gate.
2) Saying we outscored them the last 28 minutes is like saying the Dow rose from 2007 to 2013. Yeah, if all you look at is the starting point and ending point you would think that, but most people know that there was some pretty signifcant "not rising" going on in between just like people who watched the game know that, despite the 14-point lead they had after 12-1/2 minutes being their largest, there was a lot of the rest of the game when we weren't outscoring them -- they were outscoring us.
3) Being up 6 with 20 seconds left is not what honest people call running someone off the court.
4) That one is correct, though I'm not sure what is surprising about getting an epic beatdown from a team we haven't beaten at their place since Rose, CDR, Anderson, Dosier and Dorsey did it ten years ago who probably have their best team since Nick Van Excel played there and doing so with, possibly, our lowest ranked team since Moe Iba was coach. Did you predict that one as a win, too? I can't remember.
