Memphis at Tulsa game thread

[nevadanatural]

We’re scoring well inside early but need to fight harder on the boards.

 

[nevadanatural]

Good interior pass but Hewitt couldn’t handle the ball.

 

[URedskin54]

Joiner looking good taking to the hole once again. Hopefully Taplin will follow

 

[nevadanatural]

Igbanu got hacked on that rebound.

 

[URedskin54]

Other teams diving for loose balls while our guys stand is becoming a pattern

 

[URedskin54]

Jackson showing again that he will be serviceable the next two years

 

[TUPond]

Someone needs to show these guys how to get on the floor! Two 50/50 plays go Memphis way because of effort!

 

[Gold*]

Defense has been good. Memphis has shooting issues so far. And not much energy.

The first foul call on Igbanu was garbage. He wasn’t in the play. Better no call. Felt like they were trying to even it out for foul call on 14.

 

[nevadanatural]

Memphis commits a lot of fouls that don’t get called.

 

[nevadanatural]

Wow, that was almost a turnover that Jeffries turned into free throws.

 

[goldenhurricane2]

Memphis just plays pickup/street ball.

 

[nevadanatural]

Not sure what Taplin was doing there. Jeffries could have blocked that alley oop but he wasn’t going to.

 

[t-townpod]

Very athletic. Helter Skellter on offense and defense.

 

[URedskin54]

When we don’t get smoked on the glass we can play with almost anybody. Better toughness so far

 

[nevadanatural]

These announcers do love them some Memphis.

 

[t-townpod]

They love little penny

 

[Gold*]

These announcers do love them some Memphis.

Mike Miller: you guys need to whine on court like I did. That will work.

Penny: My knee hurts. Throw the ball to Shaq or Dennis Scott. You guys shoot free throws like Nick Anderson.

Lil Penny: My batteries are corroded.

 

[nevadanatural]

It’s tough to rebound when you get the ball and the other team starts slapping your hands.

 

[Gold*]

Slowest first half in Reynolds Center history?

 

[URedskin54]

Couple of beauties there by Jackson

 

[nevadanatural]

Bad call. If anything that should have been a charge. The right call would be a Tulsa fast break.

 

[URedskin54]

Yep I <3 Jackson now

 

[t-townpod]

Jackson no longer 0 fer

 

[Gold*]

Very weird game. Memphis got extra Gus’ and ribs after beating UCF. They look slow. Yet this game is taking so long and fouls are crazy enough that I don’t feel comfortable at all.

But yeah, Action Jackson is a thing. If only he could shoot.

 

[Tulsafanzz]

Jackson makes us a different team. If he can just hit an outside shot, he can be a big contributor for us.

 

[cmullinsTU]

This is the TEAM I’ve been missing. They’re fun when they play like this and make the extra passes.

Also Jackson is a man possessed. What does it take to get him to play like this consistently?!

 

[Gold*]

Bad call. If anything that should have been a charge. The right call would be a Tulsa fast break.

Yeah that was awful. Crowd really gave it to the officials there. Officiating is a plague in this sport.

 

[TUPond]

Hope we keep pouring it on the kittens. Cincy and Memphis are the teams that I love to hate.

Action Jackson is here. He’s fun.

 

[URedskin54]

No PG in the lineup here is definitely an odd move

 

[nevadanatural]

Not much shooting on the floor right now for us.

 

[nevadanatural]

They’ve cut the lead from 22 to 15.

 

[T Up]

No real point guards in the game and Scott takes 4 straight shots. Makes one. 7-0 run by Memphis

 

[nevadanatural]

Big lead but that turnover leaves me deflated.

 

[URedskin54]

Don't be upset Frank. You're the one who had Scott at point to end the half

 

[Gold*]

Memphis fans in front of me getting angwy.

 

[TUPond]

We absolutely suck on possessions before halftime. We go from Tap throwing up misses to Scott looking stupid getting picked for a bucket

 

[tupatsfan]

Tv announcers are SO pro Memphis it’s nauseating.

 

[URedskin54]

I like this version of Tulsa that looks to push the ball every possession. It's partially a function of playing Memphis, but we had 40+ possessions in the first half

 

[Gold*]

I remember we lost a game to San Jose where they had a lead like this. They went hard after offensive rebounds and didn’t take a shot until at least three seconds were left on clock. That’s what we need to do.
