Wow, I had no idea either. Only returnees were one of Hardaway's kids and Dandridge. I did confirm.
We can equate Seals and McWright to them. Exactly the same, except they didn't leave an open spot, or have a 'Gibson' leave.

We might get wiped out by Memphis, playing them this early. If we do, it doesn't mean we are going to do badly in conference play. It just means we played them early, with an inexperienced team. Just looking ahead to when that possibly happens, and all the negative nancy's think the world has come to an end. Since we play them that early, I wish we played them twice. That way we'd have a much better chance the second time.
It’s hard not to get high expectations when you’re winning big against poor competition but if we played some of the teams I’ve been watching these last couple of days they would destroy us inside. I still think we can beat anyone in our non-conference schedule but if we lose one here or there I won’t get too down. We will be scrappy even in losses.
I agree we need work inside. But I have a feeling we'll go cobe/haggerty/Willis/Barnes/Garcia. Bring reed off the bench.
Good line-up....Maybe Carlous at times too. Our post defense is very spotty at this point. Good bigs may be a real problem against us.
I hope Keita can keep developing and be a help inside he has already gotten better than when I first started going to practice
Not a good day for the American Conference. Memphis and Tulane both won close games against good teams in Michigan and California. Everyone else took an L. Temple lost by 1 to Ole Miss and the SMOO lost to Wisconsin by 8. Rice got thrashed. Biggest beat down though was Central Arkansas getting smashed by Kansas State 100-56. That should help put some perspective on where TU is at currently. Tulsa’s next opponent, Yooler, dropped one in overtime to Georgia state 93-90. Our competition is about to start ramping up.
Todays Games
We only have 3 games today and all are tournament games. At 13:30 we have Loyola Chicago taking on Boston College in the third place game of the Hall of Fame Classic.
At 1:30 p.m. we have FAU facing Butler in the Quarterfinals of the ESPN Events Invitational at Disney World. They will face either Penn State or Texas A&M win or lose in the next game.
The last game puts #20 Arkansas with Memphis in the Battle 4 Atlantis in the Bahamas at 4:00 p.m. This is a semi final game. The winner will face either North Carolina or Villanova.
AND ONE
Today is Turkey day and it is a day to give thanks. So I will put what I am thankful for in the And One today. I am thankful for my family. The ones I talk to and the ones I don’t. I am thankful for the life that I have led as it has made me the person that I am today. I am also thankful for the ability to ignore morons so that I don’t have to use the ignore button on all of my social media platforms. Last but not least I am thankful to live in the greatest country on earth. Having been to 28 different countries myself, I know for a fact that some of the trash some of these people get away with here would not be tolerated there.
GO TU!!!

Texas A&M beat Penn State 89-77. If FAU wins today they play Texas A&M. That game starts in 10 minutes
Loyola Chicago wins and takes 3rd place in the Hall of fame Classic with a 71-68 win over Boston college
Villanova beats survives a late surge by UNC to win 83-81 in overtime. Memphis vs Arkansas is in 20 minutes
Nova wins. Looking forward to Memphis and the hogs in about a half hour. If Arkansas plays like they did the last game Memphis should blow them out.
I’m excited by how much better our talent is over last year and we’ll have a shot to win a lot of games but these teams I’ve been watching today have really brought my expectations down to earth.
They beat Arkansas. They’ve got a squad. i believe TU opens up conference play with them.
Yeah Memphis looks really solid. But the good news is, at least this year we finally have the talent to have a chance against better teams, if we play well. Been a long time since we could say that.
I have seen too many Penny teams start strong and then look like crap once the season gets going , matter of fact , they looked really good a few years ago and were ranked and then got beat by 40 by a certain unranked team 😊
Memphis changed their recruiting philosophy away from 4 Freshmen McDonalds All Americans to 4 All-Conference 23 year olds from other teams. Age and experience makes a huge difference. If Williams had gotten his 7th year approved they might have been top 20.
Late getting this in as I had to work today and too many people at my house. Some of the games have already played. FAU knocked off Texas A&M 96-89 to advance to the championship round to face either Iowa State or Virginia Tech who play at 4:30 p.m. on ESPN2.
Jacksonville State dropped UTSA in the Cardinal/Roadrunner Classic in San Antonio 77-62. The Roadrunners are 2-4 on the year so far.

We still have some good games on tap. Villanova and Memphis square off in the finals of the Battle for Atlantis in the Bahamas.
Houston Christian travels to Gallagher Iba to take on the Pokes at 7 p.m. and last game pits The Delta Devils against Cal State Northridge.

Today is Black Friday and the NFL is having their first Black Friday game today with the Dolphins and the Jets. With online shopping the way it is now, black Friday doesn’t have the same pizzaz as it once did where we are sleeping in and the wives are out at the store at 2 a.m. to get in line to get those black Friday deals. Now all of the shopping is done through amazon and now I just have a black December. Lol.
GO TU!!!

Nova putting it on Memphis. Nova defense is really good and causing all sorts of problems for Memphis. They have 7 turnovers with 6 minutes to go in the first.
Always appreciate a good Memphis beat down, thank you Nova. Flipped it over to the women's game, and imo the red unis they wear are the best basketball uniforms I've ever seen Tulsa have I wish the men's would get one.
Creighton didn't register yet, and now Texas A&M lost to FAU. That's a good thing all the way around on Texas A&M/FAU. Does a good bit to make up for their loss to Bryant & Phil Martelli Jr.
Chatanoogah lost. Three down. Iowa St is having a tough game with Virginia Tech in the last couple of minutes. Could be a fourth.
Women won the first quarter, lost the second, won the OT.
What’s more remarkable is they are 1-3 with those girls with every loss being by double digits. Their only win is against something called A&M-Texarkana.
