Thanks. Good luck on Selection Sunday and on through the tourney.

We'll be back.

Eventually, I guess. 4 straight years of over priced mediocrity for know though.

They need help, plain and simple. I can't wait to see what happens.

Hope you beat the snot out of Wichita if you play them tomorrow.

Expectations were low because Tubby destroyed his roster by kicking Keelon off the bench so he could put Saul on it.

It really is that simple.

Then, due to scheduling, good fortune for us, and a host of injuries for SMU and UConn the 'expectations' were exceeded but still are we supposed to be excited about a 5th place finish and beating USF and Tulsa to get handled by Cincy in the semi-final?

Not me. Buh Bye Tubby.

Was that onion Raftery that slandered us....

With his preying on someone's position accusation?

You guys came to play today. If the Bearcats don't open the second half on that run it could've very well ended in a loss for us. I hope the Rivers kid is ok. That was a scary fall. I'll echo to say that I don't have a "dog in the head coaching fight" but whatever happens I hope it works out best for the Memphis basketball program. I've said it before, we need you guys back at the top of our conference and playing in the NCAAT.

Well, you have expectations and then you have reality. Reality is, we lost by 14 and 30 in the first games of the conference tourneys with the Lawsons and by 10 in the semifinals without them (and our best player.)

Edit: no, my bad. First year they did get to the third game, also. Just last year was the big flop.

Yes but there was an internal problem going on last year that led to the implosion. They were 18-7 and being discussed for the NCAA tournament before whatever it was happened.

This team was 14-11 and then went on a little run against just **** teams sans Houston. I think we can all see now that the problem was Tubby at least as much as it was Lawson.

Saul should not be taking up space on a D1 staff.

If Tubby hadn't been so stubborn it might have all turned out much, much differently.

Tubby didn't handle his business.
