If we could have made more FTs.. Even Boogie was missing FTs last night.. Crazy how Houston is a Final 4 caliber team who can make a deep run in the tourney and we were trading basket with them to the wire..
Cincinnati doesn't play D like Memphis & Houston is taking advantage.
Houston is really scoring the ball: 53.6% FGs - 45.5% from 3 - 85.7% FT's
Each team with only 4 TO's in the half ...............

Agree.. Cincy can't defend the perimeter for sh*t.. They are losing by 20.. They are TOAST.
But what I am afraid.. the NCAA is gonna try so hard to give Duke an at large bid no matter what.. And that's a shame.. Looks like the AAC will be a one bid league team.. Wichita St could miss the tourney.

Should be some serious salt in the wound. Serves them right for the horrible start to season and never improving the FT shooting. I remember saying the loss to WKU made us a laughingstock and morons here claimed they were a good team. Maybe we get a rematch against them in the NIT!! I’m really not sure what’s worse- the Tigers play over the last 7 years or the fans who make every excuse in the world for them.

I strongly believe he was a victim of very high expectations by Memphis fans because of Calipari.. His Memphis teams were better than Penny's.. No doubt about it.
I dunno about that. I think this team is better than all of them minus the will Barton year where we got the St. Louis screw job matchup
No. Nobody on this team can score like Joe Jackson or Barton. Nobody gets hot like Chris Crawford did.
Too fond of memories there especially their freshman year. They were ranked 90 kenpom. 146 offense 64 defense. They would be completely undermanned physically. We would crush them.
And those freshmen still made it to the 2010-2011 NCCA Tourney.. This team won't.
Does saying that make you feel like you proved something? We were in a rat conference back then and had to win the conference tournament by the skin of our teeth just to get in. I was extremely proud of the fight in those kids, but they wouldn’t have made to the tourney as freshmen in the AAC.

Go watch the conference tournament that year and tell me what you see. We were waaay better at the end of the season than the beginning.
This year's team are not some worldbeating team. They struggle to win most games. They're inconsistent. They make tons of mistakes. They don't have a ballcontroller shot creator like Jackson or Barton. Freshman antonio barton would be our unquestioned starting PG this year.
they're not getting shoved around with Will Coleman, Tarik Black, and Will Barton out there.
Again for the third time I said that second year was the only year they were better than us. Yes that frosh year they had an amazing comeback @utep. We would have manhandled them. Tarik was in constant foul trouble. There was no will Coleman and all of their guards were rail thin. They couldn’t have handled our physicality and length. The sophomore year they were better than this team. The following 2 NCAA teams we are currently better than. This has nothing to do with us making the tournament this year or not.
https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basket...=310712638
Will Coleman was on that team. We can't prove this but my opinion is we try to run a full court press on that team and Joe Jackson is going to be sprinting at the rim getting layups all game. Too quick and too good of a handle.
Joe also was a work in progress his freshman year. He made a lot of mistakes and drove into traffic a lot. Our length would have given him major fits as he consistently got stuffed at the rim before he improved his midrange game.

Holy **** how many Ifs can you put in one post. You're the biggest ******* mark ever.

Somebody come get their kid.
Coming from the guy who wants to ignore that Memphis is on the bubble and would rather try to convince others how great this years team/coach is to years past instead. Because you know in fantasy land, they would would wipe the floor with any of those previous teams.
Keep the facts coming, spazz. While you're at it, how do you think we stack up against the Grizz teams from the last decade?
You been in a coma
30 post in the last 8 years
Mods please fix
Yes, mods please fix the fact that I don't have thousands of fluff posts on here, mostly consisting of ridiculous excuses for the basketball team instead of pointing out the truth. How exactly can I live in this fantasy land with some of these self proclaimed enlightened posters? Mods, please help.

The "winner" troll on the happiest day of his life.
Yeah nothing makes me "happier" than watching us lose to an elite team due to growing pains and likely missing out on a shot to go to the NCAA tournament. Luckily I'm not a delusional moron like you who doesn't understand why we were on the bubble this year. I'll bet on Penny learning these tough lessons the hard way and growing as a head coach over time. At least he has the capability to improve unlike your miserable dumb***. You'll still be posting the same ignorant bull**** here until you die.
Another "winner" alias troll, trying to provoke me.Good luck slow leak.
Yep, 13 years in the making just to troll a loser like you on a random day in March. Of course your dumb*** doesn't even realize that you engaged me first.

but right after the game
penny, cody and alo went to other side of the floor from the team
