They had 8 blocks and we rarely put up an open smoothly assisted shot, but instead rushed shots all over the place. How we ended up with more field goal attempts and 24 more free throw attempts than them and lost by 19 is beyond me...is wasn't about missing shots....6 assists all night was not because we just "missed shots." Dixon scored 1 point, Nichols 3 pts because they never got in rhythm in the game at all. When Crawford attempts 10 3 pointers in a game, we are going to lose. Please, please, please get a better game plan in the NCAAs.

i guess that debunks the lame free throw discrepancy excuse folks have been throwing around to explain our loss at uconn.

No doesn't in any way. May have shot 36 tonight but could have easily shot 56 if they were all called. They hit theirs in Conn and we did not hit our here. They should have been called for a lot more in both games. They completely took Nichols out of the game with physical play. Threw up a lot of lame ass shots that were not going near the basket.

i think uconn proved that despite any kind of perceived screw job can be overcome. they did what they had to do to win. we did not.

I've just never latched on to JJ.. He just has never done it for me..I've always known when we play big guards he never shows up..Not that it's all his fault but he has never impressed me at all..I've never liked CC's game because he does nothing except shoot 3's, and this year his streaks were few and far between. Call me crazy but I think we will be better at both of their positions by the middle of the season next year..People can go off on me about this but it's just how i feel.. I could be dead wrong but right now I don't think so..

I agree.

Personally, the self proclaimed title "King of Memphis" prior coming to Memphis made me slightly dislike him coming in as it was.

Memphis - average size at the 1&2 : 6'1.5 and 192 lbs
UConn - average size at the 1&2 - 6'2.3 and 186 lbs

So...about even at the 1&2

Huge disparity at the 3

At the 4&5...I listed incorrectly. Austin is 6'8 and not 6'10.
Memphis - 6'7.8 and 220 lbs (thanks to Goodwin outweighing Daniels by 50 lbs)
UConn - 6'10.5 and 214 lbs

As for your point at the 1, 2, 4 and 5....you are blind good sir.
Austin is 6'8 and Nolan is 6'10. We have an advantage in the starting lineup between Goodwin and Daniels.

UConn is bigger in the starting lineup at the 3 and 4. We are bigger at the 2 and 5. Napier and Jo are the same size. Their bench which plays a lot is a LOT bigger than our bench. Watch the games again. UConn 3 Memphis 0. Game Set Match.

Huge disparity at the 3? It's two inches at best. Given that, Crawford is a more physical player than Kromah or Giffey, and that is saying a lot.

Watch how UConn plays. UConn is a finessee team. We're bigger and stronger. Please pay attention.

At least King doesn't play defense with his arms down.

Crawford makes himself 5'9 when defending the perimeter. If he even defends it. Most of the time his man just blows by him or gets to shoot an open jumper.

Yes, if Crawford is hot he can light it up. Other then that he has 3 games a season where he plays up to his true potential. Laziest player we have had in a long time.

And no, Crawford is not a better option at the three. Give me Trey Draper before he plays another minute on defense. Yes, I meant that too. I don't give a **** if he is 5th or 6th on the all time steals list. He goes for the steal 99% of the time and get's burned for it 80%-85% of the time.

An inch here and there?!? Dude, you started the argument stating that we are much BIGGER than the other team. Our tallest guy in the 4&5 rotation is 6'9. Our guys are 6'9, 6'8, 6'7 and 6'7. Their shortest guy at the 4&5 is 6'9. Their guys are 6'9, 6'10, 6'10 and 7'1. Nice way to deflect. SMDH

He has lost the debate. He's just going in circles now. I have given him enough stats. Their shortest guy at the 4&5 is 6'9 while our tallest guy at those 2 positions is 6'9. Heck we play 2 6'7 guys at that position. Their guys are 7'1, 6'10, 6'10 and 6'9. Somehow we are BIGGER...lol

IMO, 2009 was better than this team. Losing JJ will be big.

CC missed the bus with Nick King and Iverson.

2009 WAS a better team, but I doubt they had more talent.

Losing JJ will be telling. He looked like a cold-blooded killer before the past 7 or so games. His window is closing, but in my opinion, he's just another scape goat that dull-minded fans like you will heap onto. If not Joe, then Austin or Nick King. You sort of people can't help yourselves.

You are nutts. I don't blame JJ or CC. I just have tempered my expectations.

Kevin Ollie just explained our team, he said that Memphis has a great inside team so they concentrated on stopping our bigs, and since the 4 kings didn't show up, we get blown out. Coach called it from the start, we can only go as far as our guards can take us.

Didn't you say it was Shaq's poor play?

Dude, you're sinking like a rock. Give it up. You tempered your expectations. Great, you tempered your expectations. We haven't.

Keep grabbin' for straws though.
