Now for a victory cigar and drink. Tonight's fare is an Oliva Serie V Melanio and a glass of Woodford.

They've been hard to come by there.

Good win for the Tigers.. but Tulsa put a fight.. Glad Tigers pulled away in the second half.

Kennedy and McCadden have been great contributors.. but WTF with Franklin?.. Playing like an average 3 star guard SMH

Conference road win. The more the better.

IMO, he’s always been a tactician. Very good floor coach but maybe not the best recruiter.

A class guy and great teacher of the game from all who know his situation. Never had tremendous talent though.

This.

17-5. We all would have taken that. Got a long week before back at home, keep winning keep getting healthy.

Davis played almost the entire game with 39:22 minutes. I had hoped ht would get more rest, but at least he has nearly a week without a game.

Game was over once Tulsa went cold from 3 pt..

but we can't keep playing Davis 40 minutes every game.. Freaking Franklin was overrated AF.. Crazy we are missing ALo.

Back in the day, guys played a ton of minutes like that.

We needed those minutes from him to make up for the first half.

Not crazy at all. Lomax is underrated and brought more to the table than many people are willing to admit.

I came to appreciate Lomax's contribution to the team after all these years.. Franklin is a liability on the court IMHO.

The biggest thing is he probably shouldn’t be a starting PG for Memphis. That seems to be why some have relentlessly scrutinized him. In a backup role, fans would have loved him.

No shot clock..

Ike is happy his Keys to VICTORY were mostly followed, Ike’s got to get busy on the Houston Keys
We must BUST THE TREY

Watched the game. Tigers played hard. Tulsa put up a good fight. Refs were fair and called a decent game.

I was at the game with my daughter. Tulsa's "crowd" was embarrassing, although the lack of people made bathroom trips and concession stand runs easily doable during TV breaks...

Watching live, I really liked J Lawson at the front of the press and trapping. Despite being a little slow still, his size and length makes it tough on smaller guards. Kennedy and McCadden were really solid in the first half and kept us around and then Davis and Deandre took over the second half. Davis is fun to watch in person, his ability to snake around defenders and finish is impressive. I thought it was clear the entire game we were the vastly superior team, it just took our studs a while to get going.

I cannot recall his name but #10 for Tulsa can play. I am not sure if there is any player in the country that hustles harder than him on the court. He was relentlessly up and down the court at full speed.
