Steering the thread back to the game, it's always interesting to see the visiting team's hometown coverage and here's the article from the Memphis paper:

Two comments from that story; first, this was a total domination of a historic rival, albeit one that is depleted at the moment. That's always a win to be valued. Second, I've never seen so much bad grammar from players in their selected quotes. That comment is in no way to make fun of their kids; simply to contrast it with many of the UC players who are pretty well spoken with media. I just watched game highlights from my DVR including Clark's post-game interview. He's an impressive young man and this UC team is so much better with him on the floor.
My first game yesterday at BB&T Arena and I liked the facility. A full 360 degree concourse (better than Cintas), wide corridors and great area to mingle in the end zone concourse with the Braxton Brewery bar; excellent seats and lines of sight. My only critiques: the relatively small replay scoreboard and poor audio quality at times. Exiting the garage took some time but for me, no more that I often experience leaving campus at UC.
Those throwback uni's looked great in the arena and especially on TV. The striping is bold and uses the red and black well. Rather than reinvent the wheel, UC should consider using that template to create the
standard uniform next year by retrofitting it with the bolder new C-Paw and Cincinnati wordmark.
More importantly, I liked the way Mick used JJ and Evans at point yesterday and it may have been their most effective combined performance yet. That bodes well for the future, especially when Broome gets back in the mix. Go 'Cats--keep it rolling at Temple this week.
