Why we need a change
Just seeing the lack of Tiger fans at the conference tournament says it all.

Our program has always brought a strong presence to our past conference tournaments like the crowd WSU has there.

Having 100 fans at a conference tournament is embarrassing for Memphis Basketball

It’s time we finally have fun again traveling to support our Tigers

Penny will bring back the enthusiasm of us representing Memphis and we will
travel again Win Lose or Draw.

I’ve been to 14 conference tournaments and I want to get that excitement back.

There are 6,208 reasons. That was our average home attendance.

Was that announced or actual?

I agree. I really wanted to go this year, but just couldn't justify it for what COULD have easily been 1 game. Glad we got to play 3, but I could justify 2-3 days of vacation and $1000 for what could possibly be one, crappy game.

RE: Why we need a change
So many things have become commonplace with our BB program in the last 5 seasons or so: Embarrassing attendance, getting waxed by 250+ RPI teams, coach being lauded for finishing 5th in an average conference, having a poor team with zero substantial talent coming in next year. While I am excited at the prospect of a new direction, I will manage my enthusiasm. Will the admin make the right choice? That is assuming they get rid of Tubby. Going strictly by numbers, it’s hard to justify.

It really all begins and ends with talent ... coaching is great and all but it only takes you so far.
