Memphis Wonder Years game thread

[T Up]

Birt picked the wrong day to get back on his historical average from three. Was really hoping he would stay unconscious. If he doesn't start hitting or Taplin doesn't heat up again we are in trouble.

 

[TU Sepp]

Flagrant 1 on Goodwin...
2 shots and the ball...

 

[nevadanatural]

We're cold from outside at the moment.

 

[TUMU]

Great save by Wright.

 

[TU Sepp]

TU down by 5 66 - 61

 

[TU Sepp]

Wright out with 5 on a non-existent foul...

 

[Weatherdemon]

Embarrassing officiating.

 

[I.I.]

Press them with no guards and tarrant on bench

 

[JesseTU]

Horsepoop.

Show some replays of these "fouls."

 

[texcane1982]

Now the fallout from all the BS Wright & Swanny fouls, shorter players are forced to guard Goodwin and thus the danger of elbows to the head. A real dirty and dangerous play, should be flagrant (2), the elbow did not go up until he saw Birt trying to front him.

TX

 

[I.I.]

We can't let them set up half court for the 6' 10" all Americans.

 

[TU_BLA]

All of Memphis' players will be playing in Venice Beach in 3 yrs. Not a good basketball IQ among the bunch

 

[TU_BLA]

51 FTs? These guys should never do another game at any level ever!

 

[TU Sepp]

Memphis up to 34 free throws... TU at 16...

 

[panicstricken]

Im writing a letter to the league

Ive never seen anything like this.

 

[TU Sepp]

Memphis gets total freedom in the paint at both ends...
TU looks at them cross-eyed and gets a foul...

 

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

It's about time for a "Game Thoughts" thread. Good effort by the guys, but Birt was way off and Memphis is a bad matchup for TU...especially being thin at the front line.

 

[jesterondirt]

I'm more pissed about the last 3 no calls while we're making easy attempts at layups than the fouls on us

 

[TU Sepp]

Pastner throwing $$$$ at the refs, just trying to save his job!!!

 

[Weatherdemon]

From the Memphis board:
"We are getting every call in the book...if you can't win this, you never will."

 

[TU Sepp]

Finally Taplin draws a foul...

 

[TU_BLA]

Is there a big $ donor out there willing to pay Haith's fine after he blasts the conference and allowing officials not worthy of doing an 8th grade game in the court?

 

[bigzit]

We need to catch fire from 3.... need 4 more 3s to win....

 

[TUBballJunkie]

How are we even IN this game still?!?

 

[cmullinsTU]

I'm drunk but put in TK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

[Tulsafanzz]

Press them with no guards and tarrant on bench

I see pressing as our only chance.

 

[tudirk]

The kids deserve better than this. Stripes shouldn't determine outcome

 

[bigzit]

I think if he says anything, he's out the next game.... he would face a suspension of some kind. So he can't.

But after the season.... he needs to go ape on the league for today's ref'ing. 4-5 phantom calls on our bigs. Like "this is crazy . . . bad.

 

[Gold*]

Taplin came to play. These refs tho. How can Memphis complain and not get a tech? Way worse than Swanny.

 

[T Up]

I agree. Press everywhere. Pick up the tempo and run their bugs off the court.

 

[jesterondirt]

How are we even IN this game still?!?

Because barring the outcome of this game we're no doubt the better team. They don't give up.

 

[eastcane]

17/18 ft's, 94.4%

 

[panicstricken]

this officiating is going to cost us an at large and cost the league NCAA units.

I can't believe this is happening.

 

[I.I.]

Shoot threes quit taking it to the hole.

 

[TU_BLA]

How are we even IN this game still?!?

Memphis is that bad overall. They play little defense in transition.

 

[Tulsafanzz]

Shaq needs to quit forcing it, we still have a chance if he'll drive & kick it out.

 

[bigzit]

We need to hit 3s..... only way to win.

 

[t-townpod]

I usually think this board goes overboard re officiating but this time we are too mild mannered. I suspect the league is trying to make sure cincy gets in

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Didn't we get destroyed by the officials in Memphis last year?

 

[TU_BLA]

So, Goodwin is allowed to shove rebounders in the back...
