Official Memphis Prediction Thread

Philosophical question: If a football game is played but no one is talking about it, does it count against the coach’s W-L record?

Tulane still having their Magic Season, but they don’t appear to have the horsepower to finish their schedule without another loss.

Did anybody else know Brin wasn’t going to play last week? I didn’t.

Went through Memphis on way to the Ole Miss game, went to a BBQ joint that Guy Fieri devoted 4 pages in his book about the best food in America, and all I can say is….yuck. Overrated. Literally had spaghetti as a side dish, per recommendation of the owner. Never again.

National Signing Date for Basketball

Eric Konkol signed three highly-rated, highly-recruited prospects in the 2023 class on the first day of the early basketball signing period. All three players are rated 3-stars by Rivals.com.

Tulsa WBB Sign Two

The Tulsa women's basketball team inked two players to national letters-of-intent, including Mady Cartwright and Elise Hill, as announced today by Head Coach Angie Nelp.

Cartwright, a 5-10 guard at Greenwood [Arkansas] High School, has helped her team post a 78-14 record in three years and claim two Arkansas Class 5A state titles. She has tallied over 1,000 career points, including a 17.5 points per game average as a junior, is a three-time all-conference and two-time all-state selection, and was named the 5A all-state tournament MVP as a junior. Cartwright is also a two-year letterwinner in softball.

"We are thrilled to for Mady to join our Tulsa basketball program," Nelp said. "Mady will add to the potency of our backcourt with her toughness, skill and basketball IQ. She embodies what Tulsa basketball stands for in her love for others and dedication to grow. She will elevate our culture and we can't wait to welcome her to the Tulsa family."

"Mady is a leader on and off the court for our team," GHS Head Coach Clay Reeves said. "She leads by example and will play any role needed to help our team be successful. She has great basketball knowledge and vision of what our opponent is doing and what we need to do. Mady is a great all-around player. She is a tall, long and athletic guard that loves to play the game and compete, and she finds a way to get the job done to help our team be successful."

"Mady is run through the wall player that every coach wants," AAU Coach Brian Morgan said. "She is a Swiss Army knife, someone that can and is willing to do whatever to help her team. She can play multiple positions, score at all three levels and defend multiple positions. Mady is one of the toughest kids I've ever coached, and she has a great personality and is a wonderful teammate!"

A 5-7 point guard from Tulsa's Holland Hall High School, Hill has helped HHHS post a 64-14 mark in three seasons. She has recorded 917 career points, including a 15.3 ppg average as a junior.

"We are so excited and fortunate that Elise is staying home to represent the city of Tulsa as well as its University," Nelp said. "She is a dynamic scorer at all levels who couples that with a high level of competitiveness. Elise will enhance our culture with her work ethic and desire to serve others."

"Elise has a strong passion for the game and is a well-rounded basketball player that can score at all three levels," HHHS Head Coach Crystal Lawson said. "With her natural leadership qualities and confidence, I expect her to make a positive impact on the TU program."

"Elise is an athletic, quick guard who can play on or off the ball," AAU Coach Brian Morgan said. "She can shoot the three and has a nice midrange, is a good defender and a tremendous young lady to be around with a great work ethic and a superb family."

📝 Larry Lewis Game Preview -- TU needs a win at Memphis on Thursday night

Perhaps it is fortunate for Tulsa that it is playing a team that is snakebitten even more so than TU. Memphis (4-5, 2-4 AAC) has been a hard luck team this season, losing many close, highly contested games to quality teams. Tulsa (3-6, 1-4 AAC) hopes to rebound Thursday night when it plays 400 miles away from home in Memphis.

Drummond/ Steele race

I need to briefly describe how utterly dumb this race is. Drummond is a great attorney who will do great things. I’m very excited about him having this office. He has the temperament and intelligence to go far in politics and will at least keep us entertained. If Stitt or Walters win, he is a perfect check on them.

His opponent, Lynda Steele, is not an attorney. She did not go to law school. She did not take the bar. If you ask her about that, she will ridicule and say a bunch of nonsensical things. She has no idea what the job does or even what an argument is. I’m not sure she has a sufficiently competent grasp of the English language.
She also has some intersting tittoos, I mean tattoos. You can’t miss em. I get the vibe she’s the sort of lady you meet at a bar and then decide a way to immediately leave said bar. Her experience is she was in charge of an artillery group or something and runs some sort of not for profit (I mean, more likely not for money because it isn’t a registered entity with state) that advocates in every domestic case that children be placed with the father.

Aside from the humor of all this, I have to say that this is why we don’t have nice things in politics. She is running as a Libertarian. The state libertarian party seems to think this is OK. It is not. It’s a damn joke.

We don’t have two political parties in this state. We have one that is incredibly arrogant and almost always wins, another that barely functions in any meaningful way other than accidents, and then crap like this. I don’t know what you do about it, but the is the state of politics here.

🏀 Recruiting TU Hoops Recruiting Notebook: Hall commits, Williams visits

Over the past few months, the new Tulsa basketball staff has welcomed several 2023 basketball prospects to campus for official visits, and while there wasn’t immediate success with the first couple of visitors, TU patiently continued to target highly-ranked and highly-recruited talent.

The hard work paid off on Halloween, as Lebanon (TN) wing Jarred Hall committed to the Golden Hurricane during a ceremony in his high school gym.
