Where's Ray?

BOXOUT!

 

[T Up]

Memphis has taken 14 more shots than us in 16 minutes! We've got to limit them to one and done. And we need to pick up the pace.

 

[drboobay]

Well we sat juice with two fouls. Hope it works out.

 

[Tulsafanzz]

We have to play better defense, & rebound better. A few of our guys are standing around watching the action, while Memphis is hustling & beating us to the ball.

 

[Tu Geo]

Another foul fest not good for Tulsa. Does this conference hate us? I guess the Woj years killed us no respect.

Lunardi was told young to remember our good days I guess

 

[TulsaEye]

Tulsa has put up at 5 maybe 6 shots at attempted layups or just throwing it up within two feet and missing. Bailing Memphis out with those fouls.

 

[The Eye of the Hurricane]

We're too helter skelter on defense. Too much switching and doubling. Nobody is finding anyone to block out.

Need Shaq, James, and Birt to score. Up until the last few times down, they aren't scoring.

 

[The Eye of the Hurricane]

We always miss layups. We just aren't good offensively as a collective group.

 

[panicstricken]

god datittt

were gonna lose this game

awful defensive performance.

 

[drboobay]

Crapstastic end to tje half

 

[The Eye of the Hurricane]

Birts really in a funk.

 

[T Up]

we are playing like crap. This is embarrassing.

 

[panicstricken]

oh well

NIT again.

sweet.

FML

 

[t-townpod]

How many offensive rebounds

 

[TU_BLA]

Hope our guys are enjoying the view of Memphis running and jumping because they're all just standing around watching

 

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

Night "NITe"...!!!

Burrell is embarrassing TU.

 

[The Eye of the Hurricane]

First shot D isn't terrible. 10 offense rebounds. In one half. Amazing. And Shaq Goodwin hasn't even played.

We apparently peaked about 4 games ago.

I didn't like our D strategy in this game. Its like we got scared after the crap ref performance in Memphis and decided to go all double and triple team. Its left us horribly out of position.

 

[TU_BLA]

GAME

 

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

Don't come out the second half.

 

[TulsaEye]

Tulsa just handing the game to Memphis on a platter.

 

[Gold*]

Awful half. Birt out of control. Memphis has like 14 more shots than we do. And they don't have Lawson. Awful.

 

[TU Sepp]

TU looks like crap....

 

[The Eye of the Hurricane]

Embarrassing performance by a group of SRs. I know they have a low ceiling basketball talent-wise, but they always overcome it with effort. How do you show up with nothing tonight??? Makes no sense.

 

[cmullinsTU]

This makes me sick. How can they play this bad. Game was setup for us with Goodwin out, just play good basketball. Throw it away again and again and again. No chance we come back.

 

[TBunch1103]

Say hello to the NIT boys terrible defense

 

[TulsaEye]

They had neither Lawson or Goodwin and still going up big on Tulsa. Not playing smart.

 

[tudirk]

TU playing like a bunch of stiffs...... Memphis loose and free

 

[Henry Kendall]

The talent difference is so apparent. No offensive strategy at all. No flow. No rebounding. Embarrassing.

 

[Li'l Eric Coley]

Well poop. Reckon I'll go to the casino tomorrow instead of worrying about TU hoops.

 

[JesseTU]

My wife hasn't watched much basketball this year. She has watched the Cinci UConn highlights. The Tulane game. And this game.

Her comment was...

"Wow, Tulsa isn't very good this year at all. I thought we had lots of seniors, or was that last year?"

We've TANKED. Game over. No way we deserve an NCAA at large. Going out like this makes it hard to motivate myself to go watch an NIT game.

Wife trying to talk me into the hot tub instead of watching second half. Having trouble coming up with arguments. Pissed. I don't mind losing, but just melting and being embarrassed by a crap Memphis team? Pissed.

 

[T Up]

If Haith doesn't light a fire under these guys a half then let's not play again even if invited to the NIT. These guys are showing zero heart. No hustle no effort. Woodard loafed early after he turned it over and no one on Tulsa is making an effort to turn it around.
Birt must have missed the flight to Florida. Swanny and Smitty are making the only efforts. Too little.

 

[t-townpod]

Not sure I can handle nit

 

[cmullinsTU]

Memphis closed the half on 12-0 run. Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic

 

[Tulsafanzz]

Amazingly, we were out hustled by a lot in the first half. 20 minutes left to prove we want it. It may already be too late.

 

[tulsahurricane0530]

I waited all week for this? Pathetic. You'd think we were throwing out all freshmen out there instead of 9 seniors. They should be ashamed and embarrassed

 

[cmullinsTU]

Good thing we didn't come into this game on the bubble with potential to get an at large or anything. SMH

 

[lawpoke87]

I expect Juice, Shaq and crew to come out the second half and play the best half of ball all year. Desperation time and these seniors know it. We win by 5.

 

[The Eye of the Hurricane]

The talent difference is so apparent. No offensive strategy at all. No flow. No rebounding. Embarrassing.

The talent difference is there just about every game we play. We have little basketball talent. That's not an issue at this point. We usually overcome it with great collective effort. To see a team with 9 Sr's that usually play so cool and collected, completely meltdown was shocking. Hence all the posts

 

[drboobay]

We shall see if these guys have some fight left. We have shown it at times this year.

Sitting juice through the half with two fouls NOT good
