Not laughable, sad but true.

Well, it’s true. No way around it

Maybe we should win more tournament games.

It's sad, but we are on a list with some great programs.

Our basketball program was slipping toward (or into) Mid-major status, until a few days ago. There are no mid-majors on that list.

Good news is we are on a trajectory to drop off that list. Don't fret my fellas.

If anything, I think it shows great respect to mention the Tigers with programs like Indiana and Ohio State.

And I really wish everyone would pipe down with all this OMG EVERYONE FEARS MEMPHIS bullcrap. It makes us look like a clown show when fans go onto opponent's boards and spew that nonsense. Let Penny do his thing and we will earn that respect.

Clowns tend to do that. And we have our share of clowns. Every board/fanbase does I suppose.

Hopefully, but we don't really know that yet.

Highly suspect it, yes, but don't know.

Silly really.

They just made the final four. This can be done anytime a more obscure team makes a run. A bit lazy. I will take our tradition. I will especially take Indiana's tradition over Loyola.

Can you not just be happy for them without this lazy nonsense?

Is the OP Tigerscane?

Thank goodness things are finally looking up again for Memphis, but I can't disagree with you more that this list is "lazy nonsense".

As far "our tradition" being so much better, or that Loyola of Chicago should be considered an "obscure team"?

Loyola of Chicago played in it's first championship game against a defending National Champion 55 years ago, and won. Memphis played its first championship game 45 years ago against a defending National Champion, and lost.

Both teams have been to multiple Sweet Sixteens. However, only one has had to vacate any tournament wins; the same team of the two that has been in trouble with the NCAA for violating rules, more than once.

Each team will have played in one Semi-Final Championship game in the past decade (barely).

Unfortunately, only one will be ranked in the top ten at the end of this season, while the other didn't even make the NIT.

Honestly, I couldn't have argued with anyone at the end of this season, that Memphis shouldn't be considered the more "obscure team" based on recent track-records.

STR - this is making national headlines - sounds familiar doesn't it

this is where Penny's relationships will come into play big time

USC doesn't give a chit...

Assistant coach fired for cheating but they still go ahead and hire daddy to get players.

Loyola is in its first NCAA Tournament since 1985.

They have only been in five Tournaments ever before this year.

Sit your beside-the-point ass down and shut up.

After Penny gets the team to a couple of Elite Eights back-to-back, and if Loyola doesn't make the tournament again, then maybe you will have the right to call a team that's actually won a National Championship in the past, and now has made a Final Four as we speak-- and with a great chance of being highly ranked next year, too, "obscure".

Until then, your comments just sound like you're bitter because your team isn't doing as well as you think it deserves, while trying to minimize the success of another team that actually has played well enough to be honored for it's success. And I could have read someone talking just like that on Cat's Pause.
