I want to blow these guys out tonight to make a proper statement.

The Tigers are presently 30 point favorites. I think it will be difficult to meet that margin because Al St will be fired up, Penny will play nearly everyone, and no one wants to embarrass Madlock.

Aside from the stupid take that Penny will play nearly everyone, he's not even coaching tonight.

I can see the bench being played tonight especially if Memphis gets a big lead since, has said, you're not going to want to run the score upon Madlock. Not sure why that's a "stupid take."

He made three distinct points. One was a dig at Penny, stating that he'll play nearly anyone. First of all, Penny has been tightening up his rotations since late last season. Second, he's not even coaching tonight. I find it difficult to fathom how Stansbury would have any emotional connections to Madlock.

Also, Penny will be absent, but he is still the head coach and can issue a directive pregame to play everyone.

Stansbury is coaching this game and he can and has made his own decisions, "off script." Penny clearly stated as much with zero ambiguity during his last presser.

clt asks do we really need a thread for this?

if you have to ask...you're not a fan.
Absolutely we need a thread. This is Tiger country.

Don't go in the thread if you don't want to be here.

Fix these technical problems Memphis.

My picture has blacked out like five times now.

It's the feed from Memphis. The University needs to fire WMC TV5. They aren't capable of providing a quality feed.

MEMPHIS underwhelming thus far, up 28-21 with just over 7 minutes left in first half.

AAU ball

Great half by Jones. 17 points.
