I said, this is a yuge step up for Emoni (and to a lesser degree, Duren) to play as a 17yo in the Barklays center in a tournament atmosphere. I expect him to settle down from here on out and make his shots more consistently.

Also add that overall the Memphis Defense was stellar, especially in the second half

Agree. Let’s have an honest discussion rather than that of the thinly veiled agendas by some here.

My thoughts:

1) officiating was bad. Not bad against the tigers, just bad overall and inconsistent and it contributed to a strange game with no good flow
2) defense was good for both teams. Our defense was good and kept us in the game / some mental lapses especially by the freshman but that is to be expected
3) as others have said our bench stepped up big time. Freshman preformed kind of like I thought. They should be in HS and are used to taking over the game but are going to hand to learn (even with all of their talent) that the competition is going to be tougher. This was a good game for them with the aforementioned in mind
4) our offense was stagnant at times and too many ill advised shots. Hope we get better at this as the season progresses. To be fair, VA tech played good D but there were times when the right rotation and an extra pass or two would have opened up the floor more. We struggled with spacing a lot

From what I understand, in the City especially, if he were not vaccinated, he would not be allowed in the building. Which I think is ludicrous.

Yep

I would bet that Sheed probably aint vaccinated...

So he likely has to wear the mask.

But to the original point he doesn't seem like he is enjoying in game coaching. The announcers alluded to the fact he was great at practice

Ya, we do not need every coach up and yelling during the game. They have roles. I have no doubt the Sheed is vocal when needed…

Bates forced everything trying to show scouts what he is on the big stage.. Bates is not ready to play point guard.. 0 assists and way too many poor shot decisions.. He did help seal the win at the end by hitting his free throws.. Penny needs to stop experimenting with the lineups.

Thank you Malcolm Dandridge for stepping up big time tonight!

Man, when the game started.... I was thinking I owed everyone an apology. I KNEW I saw the game was going to be on ESPN2. To see it on ESPNNews... I was thinking I needed glasses...was gonna post an apology for boobing that up.
Glad they straightened it out.

Be nice. He’s on our team.

He’s also 18 and should be a senior in HS. How about a little perspective from our armchair coaches?

He's 17.

Yep. Got Bate’s and Duren’s age confused.

Makes my point even more relevant.

A 17 year old who should still be in HS made a mistake at the end of his 5th collegiate game and one of our fans called him a dumb ass.

Ridiculous and shameful.

Agree

And heat of the game doesn’t excuse it

That is not the same thing as venting about an effing turnover

Don’t call these kids that ****

No, it was the standard "previous game not over yet" situation. Happens all the time during basketball season. You would think by now they would block 2 1/2 hours per game instead of just 2.

Go root for UTk. I’ll start a gofundme for your first bUTchugg funnel.

Maybe some rectal alcohol will chill you the **** out.

Not in the least. Enjoy your bUTchuggin’

Agree on all accounts.

1. Refs missed obvious calls on both sides, bailed both teams out at certain times and missed more walk than I have ever seen in a college game. It was a very strangely officiated game.
2. Defense was just nasty. If refs let us play physical like tonight then we will be in every game we play with our defense.
3. Yup
4. Offense was tough to watch at times. Too much aimless dribbling and passing around the perimeter. Reminded me of Pastner’s offense… We have to learn to feed Williams and Duren in the post at times. Not a ton but when things get stagnant then they need to go down low and let those guys work.

I’m wondering if Penny told the team at half time to forget the showtime shenanigans. I don’t remember any alley oops or similar dazzle dazzle. But we didn’t turn the ball over much either.

So childish. I post about the game and the team and you post about other posters. You’re a fan basher. IMO, the worst type of poster.

Thanks for the compliment Geo, that was unexpected lol

Well to get into FedEx Forum you don’t have to wear a mask anymore… unless you are 5-11 years old… talk about asinine.
