Maybe but they also had to play some walk ons in this game so it is not a true representation of where we are without Martin.

I think if we'd had Martin, we would have been 15-20 points ahead of them at the half.

Congrats to @Memphis_MBB on a BIG win over SMU - @UofMemphisPres made a smart hire in Tubby Smith! Integrity, High Character, CLASS and can coach with the best of them!!
Someone want to tell him that 15-11 (6-7) isn't a good look for this program?

Good win however, proud of the kids.

Ok we won a game we were supposed to lose. Are we such miserables we can’t enjoy it? A week from now nobody will remember the Memphis-SMU game. Why can’t we enjoy it a couple of nights?

We should enjoy this win, especially since they are increasingly rare...

Winzawin, right??? Not pretty, and I get the whole "Depleted SMU" narrative, but I don't think many fans expected the Tigers to leave Dallas with the dubya.
You win, you move on. GO TIGERS!!

Johnson is a guard who rebounds as well as Rivers. He also is at least somewhat of a threat from 3. And, he's got 3 more years of eligibility left to develop.

I think most everyone expected a win once we all heard SMU was playing bench guys. The fact that it went down to the last shot is pathetic. I'm real happy that the Tigers won, I want them to win every single game.

After review of box score, we are fortunate we shot well (especially from three) because we had more turnovers and gave up lots of offensive rebounds.

Leading up to this game, I was worried that with losing 5 out of 6, the team had given up for the year. Glad they didn't.

And this is why you play him. For the future. If you need a "Flop with Quivers", send in Jimario Rivers.

Me too. The collapse I predicted after the Wichita State loss hasn't happened.

We definitely move the ball around better on the perimeter without him. We would be a better team WITH Martin if he played the same way.

Rivers has not been the same since his concussion. I speculate it has impacted his play either through lingering effect or fear (not a knock - I would be careful also).

Tubby indicated he plans to play zone the rest of the season.
