Memphis Wonder Years game thread

[TU 1978]

Let's take care of business today.

 

[TU Sepp]

TU needs to settle down, they are playing sloppy.

 

[TU 1978]

They finally called a foul on Mempiss.

 

[panicstricken]

rocky start

looks like the fouls are gonna start adding up down low

 

[TU Sepp]

Memphis going straight after Swanny and Wright for the fouls...

 

[TU Sepp]

Down 12 - 4 and we aren't even close to scoring...

 

[TU Sepp]

Down 14 - 7 finally a 3...
now 16 -7...

 

[lawpoke87]

Can't believe I'm going to say this but thus far the game plan by Memphis is quite good.

 

[bigzit]

Memphis is playing with energy and smarts.

If they played like this all year, they'd be a lock.

 

[TU 1978]

The blind refs missed in one series -

A foul by Memphis against Swanny
A foul on Memphis
Goal tending by Memphis

And yet they call a technical on Haith.

You'd think wonder boy paid off the refs for a win to save his job.

 

[panicstricken]

slow starts have killed us this year

 

[I.I.]

We have no inside defense or offense. If this continues= long day and Pastner laugh. Now we see the loss of Smitty and TK.

 

[T Up]

They are in the bonus in less than 6 minutes! This really sucks. They are just crashing the boards and beating us to the ball.

 

[bigzit]

Long day boys...

Memphis is playing really well. They came to play.

Sucks that our schedule worked out this way....

 

[TU Sepp]

Ray 2 at the line 16 - 9...
Memphis for 2 and foul... 18 - 9...

 

[nevadanatural]

This is the way Memphis plays the game. Lots of pressure to make it as sloppy as they can. The more turnovers and free throws they can get the better chance of winning they have.

 

[panicstricken]

this sucks

swanny with another

 

[panicstricken]

WTF?

 

[TU Sepp]

Swanny with a foul...
Memphis 19 - 9...
Taplin for 3 19 - 12...

 

[bigzit]

This is bad guys. 3 fouls on Swanny.

TIME TO PACK IT UP!

 

[panicstricken]

i knew this game was a trap and we would come out flat

come on TU

 

[TU Sepp]

Swanny a foul + a tech now has 3 fouls...

 

[TU_BLA]

So should we want to host an NIT game? Refs pretty much making sure Pastner goes out a winner in his last game

 

[TU Sepp]

TU stinking the floor...
down 22 - 12...

 

[astonmartin708]

It looks like we didn't even practice this week.

 

[nevadanatural]

The refs should just go ahead and put on white uniforms and take away all doubt.

 

[jesterondirt]

We make our big comeback runs by getting the other team in foul trouble. Hard to do it when we're in foul trouble.

 

[bigzit]

Try to keep in single digits.... get to half and regroup.

 

[I.I.]

Redshirt of TK. biting at NCAA or no NCAA time. May be good for next year but may cost us a bid. Had Ray on 6' 10 guy and Curtis trying to guard him too.

 

[Gold*]

Not sure which is worse: refs or broadcast crew. That wasn't a foul on Swanny and the tech was not well deserved. Have you watched Goodwin and Pastner before?

 

[bigzit]

Need Woordard and Birt to hit many 3s today.

 

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

Should be down 30-12. Memphis isn't cashing in from the line.

TU looks beyond terrible thus far...

Woodard will need to make threes.

 

[I.I.]

I don't think we are flat. Memphis has a better team. They just have a poor coach.

 

[I.I.]

Threes will be the key. Everything blocked inside.

 

[jesterondirt]

11 fouls 9 minutes into the first half?!

 

[bigzit]

we are playing sloppy... and we cannot make a shot.
and we're in bad foul trouble.

hard to win....

 

[jesterondirt]

Why do we travel so much?

 

[panicstricken]

how does that not fall

 

[TU_BLA]

Swannegan gets called for a T there but Pastner is allowed to dance like a bloody baboon on the sideline with nothing.

 

[jesterondirt]

Dammit curtis, just rip the rim down!
