Another country heard from:
Jon Rothstein
Memphis tops the Bahamas National Team by 10. 19 for Tyler Harris. 17 for Lester Quinones. James Wiseman DNP again.
He was one of the cohort upset with Penny upending the established order. I would not hold your breath waiting for Fraschilla to admit his already evident error.
Yeah, but now he's going to be one to ride coattails of the hottest story in college bb.

Dude, you are stupid in many ways.
But don't fret. It comes with the territory. Anytime we add 'fan' to 'human', we get Stupid!!!!! with a capital 'S'.
It gets even worse when we try to explain our Stupidity with Rationality. Next thing ya know a couple of us are engaged in long drawn out mathematical proofs using verbiage ---which are meant to prove why each is 'Right' with a capital R.
Just be instinctive, I say. With a capital "I"
LOL
4-0 4-0 4-0 and away we go!
Aha! I have cracked the code of the indecipherable!
Snow uses capitals S, R, and I.
Move the I to the front - I SR.
Unless Snow is Captain America, she is Shirley Raines.

RE: Memphis basketball team's schedule set for Bahamas trip
Some people are not giving Memphis and Coach Penny credit. There were a couple of teams that were pickup games. But, the other two were made of pretty good players. And, we won both without Wiseman or Precious.
Damion and few others came out of the exhibition proving their worth.
I think the trip was a success. All Coach Penny wanted to do was to see how the team would react to a non-team at this point, so he can tweak the lineups, based on how they performed this week. Plus, he wanted to team build, which it seems he was successful at.
PLUS, for the #1 recruiting team in the nation, IMHO, we should have paid for them to be at some nice place to hang out, while playing some exhibition. And, looks like Bahamas was a good sport.

And film sessions. The 10 days of extra practice provided time that was not as limited as the 3 hours (I think) of weekly workouts. Penny and Cody both mentioned the value of being able to go over film of practice with the guys since time wasn't as restricted. That's a big head start on improvement. And now they have "game" film they can review.

There are reasons why these trips are only permitted every couple of years. It absolutely gives an advantage.

Well, no one WANTS that, but certainly gave Josh plenty of film and practice, he just couldn't do anything with it.
