Wasn't a terrible shot. He already committed. If he didn't take it could have been way uglier lol.

Yeah the bigger problem was probably that he was trying to go one on one for payback after getting scored on a couple times... cant have that

I know I'm a homer but I'm impressed so far. These kids have been coached.

Playing good D.

Martin is such a beast.

ALo is clearly the best of the newcomers. He looks and carries himself like an upperclassman. Him, Martin and Davenport sre probably the best players on the team. The rest of the players have some skills but all will contribute sporadically.

Agreed. He looks spectacular for Game 1. Complete lockdown defender plus excellent vision

Press makes a big deal about it and the game gets scheduled.... Cal then bails on Kentucky and heads to the NBA.... where he STILL has to come to Memphis and we still get to boo him.

Cal won’t get offered an NBA job. He may have had a chance 5 years ago, but those days are over.

Even better...

He makes more than pro coaches now.

Good point.

Yeah, only issue Defense wise, in my opinion is the early fouling. 3-4 of them have been because of positioning. Definitely fixable.

Offensively we're playing a bit too fast at times. Some of our turnovers are ugly, but expected with a young team in their first game.

We have a lot to look forward too watching this team and seeing the overall development. Really exciting.

Dang this is fun. Love the fast pace. Granted it's been sloppy at times but I love to see them playing hard.

I turned it on at 20 something to something. Been a bit sloppy.

The American is wide open this year. Pretty much everybody is struggling against inferior teams so far.

Harris needs to see one go down. Get one and more will come. Same with Wingett.

Sloppy 1st half, but a 15 point lead is solid. Coach Penny will calm them down at the half. We'll come out better on both sides of the ball.

He will get better at timing his jump after the defender bites on the fake and at going straight up. Now the driving layups, I don't know about those.

The team definitely plays with more hustle and aggressiveness. I think they will be much more fun to watch.

Nice to see Penny making the most out of the veteran talent. Think they are going to surprise some people.
