Scathing article in Memphis paper that noted a pregame fight between 2 players and how a former Memphis Great that was inducted into their Wall of Fame (Anderson) at halftime, when asked if Tubby Smith was the right man for the job, he said No....and Tubby Smith basically agreed with him in post-game comments.

It sounds like Tubby wants to be fired and if he is, Memphis will owe him $9.75 Million ($3.25 Million for next 3 years).

Any program that loses 4 straight to UCF in basketball has hit rock bottom. There is a reason the vultures are circling.

No...as UCF has turned into a pretty good hoop program over the last 2 years.

UCF is now 17-13 in conf play over the last 2 seasons, even with all of their injuries, lost scholarships (transfer redshirts, etc...).

Now if you would have replaced UCF with say usf or ECU...then yes, that would mean Memphis would mean the Tigers have hit rock bottom. (Memphis has already lost to ECU once this year).

So UCF is barely above .500 in conference play over the last 2 years and you are bragging about that? Get back to me when UCF actually makes it back to the NCAA Tournament then you can beat your chest. When was the last year UCF even made the tournament? Was it 2005?

When Memphis gets swept by a program that has only made 4 appearances in the NCAA Tournament and has never won a tournament game, we have hit rock bottom. I don't think Memphis can be scraping the bottom of the barrel any more than they are right now.

No...not bragging...just noting how there is a pretty wide gap between usf/ECU at the bottom of the conf and UCF.

That's all...which would have made the previous statement (Memphis hit rock bottom) more profound and accurate.

Losing to a team above .500 isn't hitting rock bottom but losing to the 11th or last place team would be. (And yes, I realize Memphis has already lost to ECU this year).
