Just flipped on Temple v Memphis.

Memphis up 15 late first half at home. What's up with Temple??

Memphis can be a lot better than people think. If their chemistry clicks, they have the talent to win.

Temple relies on their defense to win games, but they have no answer for Nichols and Goodwin. Goodwin has 17 rebounds at the half.

Memphis fans have said multiple times their team doesn't play well for 2 halves... Starting to look like the case in this game here Temple with a 9-0 run.

Memphis has zero guards. Their point guard is as bad as that Oompa Loompa who used to play for SMU. Temple may have the best guard in the league.

Both our guards have an edge on anyone Temple has IMO.

It's amazing how bad Memphis guards are. Pookie Powell is the worst top 100 recruit I've ever seen.

Cummings is really, really good. No shame in admitting that.

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Temple has taken the lead.

Austin Nichols went down a few minutes ago...

What's the deal with Nichols. How bad?

 

[ozarkhick]

Memphis coaching....

 

[rabidTU]

If the Nichols ankle sprain is diagnosed as "high ankle", it could be a long recovery - 8 weeks or more.

Lolololololol

Wow..Memphis blew another one.

 

[ctt8410]

Temple up to 33 RPI with the win

Surely they will fire Pastner. I feel bad for them. He couldn't coach his way into an extra value meal at McD's.

Then again, he probably still gets the happy meal.

 

[ozarkhick]

Does TCU normally play in this shiznit arena?

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Temple win was probably good for us there. We still gotta go to Fed Ex forum.

Ozarkhick,

They're having their arena remodeled or something and playing at a HS in Dallas. Pretty terrible planning to upgrade their arena during the season.

OSU beats #1 RPI Kansas. Should give us a bit of a bump

[lawpoke87]

We're #42 RPI and #62 Sagarin as of this am

I think of Memphis as more than a second round team. I guess you don't? If you're happy with a coach who acts like a child on the court and seems to have little control over his team, more power to you. The rest of us think you can do way better.

That's good enough for you with the talent you have on your squads? Heck, you had a top five class in like 2013, no?

 

[gomemphistigers1]

I can't complain about 4 straight NCAAs, 26.5 Ws per year, a perfect APR, players who graduate, and a coach who does things above board.

Moreover, do you want to buyout his 2.65 million per year contract that runs through 2019-20? do the math on that, we would have to pay him full price for each year.

I guess I'm crazy to think down years happen from time to time.

Oh you're stuck with him. That makes more sense.

Yup...that contract, plus that signed class...gets him another year.

we won't tolerate back to back NITs, though.
