Tall, muscular, with shooters, can jump out of the gym, answered every punch...let's see, that about covers it.

I am more impressed with the team in Hattiesburg today than any I've seen since a #1 Louisville team many moons ago. I honestly still believe we have a good squad, but the Tigers were impressive.

Congrats. I hope we get two teams in the tourney. I can't wait to see how we respond at Memphis. But as far today, a tip of the hat to the victors.

You're a class act Eagle

You have a great team, strong and talented, Memphis was on today and is maturing.

The next big step is playing at a high level consistently.

Tanya is correct, Eagle is a class act.
It was a helluva game.
If the Tigers had not brought their A+game the result would have been different I'm afraid.
Looking forward to the rematch in the Forum.

Amen! Hope it's good!!!

Hats off to the Eagles and Tyndal!!! Very different environment in Redd Green today. Even after the lost, the whole Eagle squad lineup at halfcourt and sang the USM fight song with the pep band.

Tyndall will continue to do nice things. He has embraced Hattiesburg. Something Eustachy failed to do. Our best two at practice aren't eligible until next year, so we could improve in year two. Sad we won't be competing against y'all then.

Here's a tweet from one of our former sports columnist. Spot on, imo:

@rick_cleveland: Just my opinion: No way in hades there are 25 college hoops teams better than Memphis.

Awesome, thanks for sharing!

This USM team is scary. WAY good. Deserves to be ranked, as do we. Too bad about that UCF loss. Here's hoping you win the rest of the games this season that are not against Memphis.

You guys rebound like monsters. I was impressed. We couldn't have played much better. Good luck the rest of the way. Except when you play us of course.

Two really good teams met on the court today. We pulled out a win, but it was by no means a certainty.

Folks have b!tched all season about how the Tigers don't play up to their potential, or play down to the level of their competition. Good to see that today the Tigers faced a formidable opponent and played at a high level, because that's what it took to win.

Today was no cake walk, I assure you. Now if the Tigers can just continue to do that... we'll be unstoppable.

Look where he's visiting from.

After seeing the way they rebounded and hustled today, I'm a little nervous about playing them at our place. We'll have to bring our A game again... they'll want it bad after today.

Good team. They shoot well, rebound like crazy, I'm looking forward to the next game. Lets see how they do in our back yard. They're a good team. Well coached.

Exactly. Visitors from Heaven are alway welcome.

Eagle in the Gym has been a class act from the first time he stepped in this forum. One of my favorite posters anywhere.

Thanks for the kind words Eagle. Your team caught us at a bad time today because we're beginning to play to our potential.

No hidden message. He's a good coach. Not saying he's better than ours.
