What did you expect with an almost 100% freshmen team? 23-0?
Doesn't having two big strong players out with an injury sorta count for something? You can't keep dropping rebounding shot blocking guys sitting on the bench and expect to win every game. USF had a player who couldn't miss and the juvenile referee crew taking the oxygen out of the kids lungs trying to make a name for themselves didn't help any. Precious played only 5 minutes in the first half. Penny has also rebounded from some pretty large deficits with this young team that showed heart and fight. Lots of programs would love to have Penny. A lot of these kids will be back next year. Injuries happen. Attrition happens. Penny has always been a winner everywhere he's been. He will be fine here if he doesn't get disgusted and quit.

The Tubby hire set this program back 10 years.

As much as I despised Tubby, he would have had us in the Tournament this year.

I think he may have gotten us there last year...If everyone stayed.

But this year would have been a sh1tshow if Tubby was still here.

Yep. Five starters graduating + Tubby recruiting = Same outcome yesterday except fewer fans leaving mad.

Uh, with who? Who in the hell would have come here to play for him? Damn sure not any 5 stars...

Tubby would have done exactly what he did in his failed tenure, sat on his ass, played ho hum ball and collected a check.

Same thing he is doing now

Pearl would have been far better than what we have now

Just check Vegas

welcome to Memphis 'where we eat our own' smdh

Let me guess, you like Bernie

no, but leave it to the miserables to bring up politics in a basketball thread

Actually they are one track idiots, everything has to do with politics.

This microwave popcorn doesn't have enough fake butter on it, effing libs.

I got shampoo in my eyes, effing libs.

I just poo pooed myself, Trump is my savior.

The sad part is that if you don't bow and worship their hero, then you are a libs.

Nothing sucks worse than a big goofy orange faced idiot.

We had 5 players out today? Please list the 5 players who were missing?

This should be good...

Pass the popcorn please.

I'll play....

Wiseman
Boyce
Stokes
Dandridge
Jeffries

And Tucker

We would probably be 19-4 right now if Tucker had stayed.

Might be 21-2 today if we had Tucker and Wiseman, even with all the other injuries.

If both stayed we might be undefeated.

Exactly, he should have been arrested for grand larceny.

So Penny doesn't need help?

I will call it... you are an idiot. Take any coach and give them a team that loses their #1 and #3 player. Let the #5 player miss 8 games as well. Let me see how well they do.

Roy Williams might be available, but since he lost his best player and is currently having a losing record and is 3rd from last in the ACC, I guess he doesn't meet your coaching standards.

#dumb!

LMAO at the insults. We have quite a few message board warriors

(02-09-2020 10:06 PM)MemphisTigerPawr Wrote:  So Penny doesn't need help?

Yes, he needs top recruits that can stay and play. He needs more maturity from the players. He needs to avoid a horrible injury bug.

If you think a coach can help with any of the above, go for it.

Ya, you can’t be “missing” players that are not on your roster...
Wiseman - Not on roster and hasn’t been for all intents and purposes since game 3 and officially for well over a month now.
Boyce - Not been roster for months and barely played even when he was
Stokes - Not been eligible all year

We were missing two guys that, you know, are actually on the team... Being down DJ and Malcolm definitely hurt us but we still had way more talent than them...
