Memphis vs SMU
- Thread starter TUERA
- Start date
SMU by 2.5 according to Vegas. IMO everyone gives Memphis too much credit. They just haven't shown me much

AAC refs are in Larry Brown's pockets. SMU has shot like 20 FTs in the 1st half to like 6 for Memphis and Memphis is getting mugged underneath.

And Memphis' PG just fouled out because he was stupid and then and SMU player called him stupid and he told the SMU player to "shut the f--- up" and he gets the T. So SMU can talk trash but the other team can't. I want C-USA refs when we play SMU

Cunningham got 3 fouls in his first 42 seconds on the court in the 1st.
And yea, reminds me of our game. 2 teams, 2 sets of rules.

And somehow Memphis is still in this game. SMU is not playing focused at all.

well it's still a 2 team race. Hopefully, Mem will have packed it in after tonight. As long as Temple is the 3rd place team, I'm happy. Still wouldn't it be fun for UConn to beat SMU on Sunday so they are a game behind TU (if we keep winning).
I made the comment last night that Haith should make a comment in the media before the game ala Phil Jackson. Play some mind games on this and get the attention of the league and official of the impropriety that's going on for SMU. I thought the officiating was terrible in favor of SMU. But I also think Pastner has something to do with that.
So SMU fan attributes it to everyone else being jump shooting teams so they are rewarded for playing inside.
Right.
Heck Memphis had more points in the paint last night in a LOSS.

We got the same officiating against SMU which was garbage. Their bigs are allowed to mug, grab arms, bump, scratch, etc. and not get called. The backup PG for Memphis comes in and Moore hooks his arm and the kid gets called for a 2nd foul in 30 seconds.
I like Haith coming out and being quoted: "We need to make sure we don't get stuck behind Moore's craftiness of backing into players and creating contact. Hopefully the officials are able to see through that tactic and call him for the player control foul it is since he is the one creating the contact. We also can't get caught up in SMU's mind games. They try to get you off your game and talk a little on the court. We need to focus on playing and not get drawn into that type of stuff."
A nice little reminder from Gragg to the AAC officials with some game film to get this crap to stop would be nice too. Memphis' PG fouling out on the T for telling the SMU player barking in his ear to shut up. Clear as day on film the SMU player was barking. While the T on the Memphis player was warranted, it should have been a double with the SMU player. Same thing happened to Ray in the game here after Moore got fouled. One of the illiterate thugs from SMU said something.
Pastner was remarkably restrained for him considering the atrocity of the level of officiating.
Losing to SE OK ST doesn't show me much. Everyone has a down year from time to time. I thought we played SMU well.
key to next season will be keeping Austin Nichols while adding the Lawson bros.
I find myself in the distasteful position of rooting for the top 4 in the AAC so they will make the NCAAs...we have to keep up appearances and such
Anything worth doing, is worth doing right. That's not doing it right. I'd just make the comment that it seems their allowed to be extremely physical and the officials put them on the foul line, so we'll have to manage that a little bit. Something very direct...
Does a 10 game conference winning streak after that loss show you much, Tiger? Does a 12 game winning streak after that loss show you much, Tiger? Does your 11 loss season show you much Tiger? Cheer for us if you want but don't expect any return favors.
Before you diss that loss, you might check out the unfortunate facts about Haith's family that occurred resulting in his absence from the program until right before tipoff. TU's flat performance was not acceptable but there were some explanations you don't know about or you wouldn't be trolling about it. Shame on you

What's worse, losing to SEOSU or getting swept by a team that lost to SEOSU? You might reach out to your Temple friends so you can start the healing in advance.

And Teams have down games, or series of games. SEOSU was a fluke caused by players losing focus. Same thing happened with @UCONN. When this team is focused, they are capable of beating anybody. Memphis should know this well as you came into Tulsa and met us when we were dialed in.
I think Memphis is our next toughest test. they have played much better since we last met, and you could call their SMU game similar to our SMU loss, they got caught up in the SMU/Ref mental game.
If Tulsa thinks Memphis wont be focused after this SMU game, then we will have a hard time pulling off the W.
IF Memphis thinks Tulsa is a Fluke(by thinking only about the SEOSU loss) then they will get beat again.
Tulsa is for real goMemphis, don't think otherwise.
"Does a 10 game conference winning streak after that loss show you much, Tiger?"
No, it doesn't...esp when it includes no ranked teams, and doesn't include the AAC's best team, SMU.
"Does your 11 loss season show you much Tiger?"
Yes, It does...it says to me after 106 wins (26.5 Ws per season) and 4 straight NCAAs, we're having a down season.
I'm not concerned due to our AAC best recruiting class.

I do what's best for the AAC, I don't want/need any favors from people like you.
"you might check out the unfortunate facts about Haith's family that

tipoff."
The Selection Committee doesn't care, and either do I.

"Tulsa is for real goMemphis, don't think otherwise."
where have I said otherwise? I simply don't want one bad loss to keep Tulsa out of the NCAAs...
oh, and you beat us because you're better this year...it wasn't some fluke...enjoy it, for now.

There is a reason that was an off game. It was admittedly a VERY off game, but nobody here is holding that loss against Haith or this team. You are right though, the selection committee cannot afford to care about that, but you are in no such position. That fact makes you come off as kind of a jerk.
"the selection committee cannot afford to care about that"
then either can I, I only want Tulsa to do well because it benefits Memphis' conference...nothing more.
I'll be rooting for Tulsa to beat SMU because they can afford the loss, and the W should seal the NCAA bid for Tulsa...that's good for the conference.

Warp Speed, Mr Spock, to your final resting place..."Of my friend, I can only say this: Of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most..Human."
as for our game, I'll be there, and whatever happens, happens...Memphis has to win the AAC tourney either way to get in the NCAAs...and to that end, I'd actually prefer the 6 seed over the 5.

Not sure this makes sense to me. 5 seed gets a bye on the first day and a game vs. Cincinnati or Temple on day 2. 6 seed needs 4 wins in 4 days, will end up playing the 3 seed (Cincy or Temple) on day 2 and likely the 2 seed (Tulsa or SMU) on day 3. Personally the extra day of rest at this point in the season is a big deal.
If it's Houston, Temple, Tulsa...I'd prefer that route to the champ game...not having to face SMU til the final...that said, long way to go.
You wouldn't have anyone left to play having to play Temple and Tulsa back to back. Several writers described the Tulsa/Temple game last Sunday as being the equivalent of a football game. It was pretty physical and the refs let it be so, especially underneath...but don't touch anyone outside the arc.
Tiger, you're continued lack of care about
the circumstances of the d2 loss shows
that you are nothing but a troll. Go away.
And if your guys play great and win tomorrow
night stay away. You're attitudes are
why this fan detests Memphis and its entitled
fans. Haven't you had top recruiting
classes for years? Then why do you suck
now? Could it be that baby P is a terrible
bench coach? Everyone thinks so. Welcome
back to the pack now that the cheater
Calipari left.
