Memphis at Tulsa game thread

[nevadanatural]

We just need to keep pushing it when Memphis presses and feed Igbanu.

If you are going to have Jackson shoot, you need to have guys in position for rebound when it misses. He is the worst shooter I can remember. Love every other part of his game, but that beach ball ain’t going in the ocean.

 

[Tulsafanzz]

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

I think this should be our objective every game. That is when we play our best, especially with Jackson & Joiner on the court.

 

[Gold*]

Bet Memphis shoots all the threes this half. All of em.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Jackson hit a three during halftime shoot around and decided to go out on a strong note, quit shooting.

He is the perfect player for the reverse Haith offense. Four in, one out. Errbody go get that board.

Let’s see if we can keep our foot on their throat. Not go into one of our patented scoring droughts.

 

[Henry Kendall]

DMFJ!!!!!

 

[T Up]

Where is taplin?? OMG. What a dunk!!!!

[TUPond]

Lord Almighty! In your face Memphis!

 

[TU_BLA]

Who is this Tulsa team?

 

[lawpoke87]

Going to miss Jeffries. He’s one bad man.

 

[t-townpod]

Memphis defense really bad. Just run around and reach and hope refs love Penny so much that they swallow whistle

 

[TUPond]

This is what I consider Tulsa basketball! Exciting, high flying, it's been too long!

 

[TU1NNJ]

Don’t get rattled!

 

[TUPond]

Get Jackson out of there and don't put him back in!

 

[Gold*]

Uh that wasn’t good. Jackson needs to go find another star or something to get the energy boost.

 

[nevadanatural]

Jeffries gotta go back in.

 

[TU_BLA]

Except now Memphis is pressing and we look like a dysfunctional HS team trying to get the ball up the court. 21 pt lead down to 11 because of turnovers.

 

[T Up]

9-0 run in a minutes and a half. We’re starting to play not to lose rather than to win. Get Jeffries back out there and don’t get into memphis’ street ball game

 

[URedskin54]

Really ugly undisciplined basketball by Memphis, but it's going to be crazy trying to keep up with their NBA guys running it the next few years.

Would be a good time to have an experienced Senior leader PG right now

 

[nevadanatural]

Memphis defense really bad. Just run around and reach and hope refs love Penny so much that they swallow whistle

That’s exactly what happens though. If the called all of the times Memphis fouled Penny would have to play so they could put 5 on the court.

 

[TU_BLA]

We started the slow down with 10 minutes left instead of the normal 4. I hate that we play not to lose instead of playing TO WIN

 

[nevadanatural]

We passed up three open shots and ended up with a shot clock violation.

 

[Tulsafanzz]

Have to put someone on #1 for Memphis

 

[URedskin54]

There he is

 

[URedskin54]

Should be an intentional

 

[URedskin54]

Maybe in Haith year 6 we will stop throwing it to the corner

 

[T Up]

We have three guards on the floor and pass it in to a forward that doesn’t dribble well.
Add to that the Memphis players should have all fouled out by now.

 

[nevadanatural]

We need to push that ball inside.

 

[TU1NNJ]

The officials have become very one sided

 

[T Up]

You beat the press with passing not dribbling.

 

[Gold*]

Official just called phantom timeout. Martens didn’t cal timeout. This sport is broken.

As is Memphis’ soul after that dunk.

 

[TU_BLA]

WHY THE HELL CAN’T TAPLIN HIT A FT?

 

[nevadanatural]

We better be able to hit our foul shots because we’ll get a lot in these last 5 minutes.

 

[TU_BLA]

And why are we not putting anyone in the lane on FTs with 5 minutes left?

 

[URedskin54]

18 offensive rebounds by Memphis. Sort of amazing we're up by 9

 

[t-townpod]

Insert Gold’s ref commments

 

[URedskin54]

19. We could have won this by 30.

Nicest move by Scott all year
