UM Prediction and Game Thread

[TulsaAM]

Horne needs to stop... his shots are off and he needs to let the offense flow before taking a quick shot

 

[Original TULSAFAN]

Tulsa has 1 basket in 12 minutes.

 

[mcane]

Geez Frank you suck

 

[mcane]

Geez Frank you suck

What a jerk of a coach

 

[Original TULSAFAN]

Scratch that...
2 baskets in 12 minutes.

Sorry.

 

[TulsaAM]

Good things happen when Pritchard has the ball, Haith and the team need to trust him and ride the wave

 

[mcane]

I am disgusted

 

[drboobay]

I am particularly irritated that we are just close enough that I cannot change the channel. Kind of like the false hope that kept me at the SMU game.

 

[Original TULSAFAN]

"The game has as much finesse as a caveman wielding a club."

Pretty good line.

 

[I.I.]

Good effort but scoreboard doesn’t change unless we put it in the basket.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Remote broadcasters just aren’t as good as in person. They miss a lot not being in the arena.

I loved his recent line tho…

'This game has all the finesse of a caveman with a club. '

 

[TulsaAM]

Up tempo isn't our game...

 

[mcane]

Jeez Frank how long are you going to shed points with the no talent fk K in the lineup

 

[mcane]

Not a good effort
A no coaches effort

 

[drboobay]

Jeez Frank how long are you going to shed points with the no talent fk K in the lineup

I think he has played pretty well. Very scrappy. Active hands. Some dumb mistakes but he is not alone in that.

 

[I.I.]

Pritchard 2on 1 and selfishly tries to Euro it.

 

[I.I.]

Memphis cannot pass or handle a press. Need to use every one on the bench to press them.

 

[TulsaAM]

Well, within 9 points at half is better than I expected

 

[Original TULSAFAN]

Is this Griffin youngster for real?

Wow.

Not in any good way.

He is not bad. But... Holy Toledo. Young man's game is limited. He wouldn't have seen much PT before 2003. Wow.

This is all really sad, folks.

 

[I.I.]

Dear Frank : Quinones has made 11 corner threes against you in his career. He likes it there.

 

[mcane]

So glad you have no expectations
The line is 13.5
Fans like you have accepted mediocrity

 

[Original TULSAFAN]

Good night.
Will check out The Office - re-run #10,000...

Hope the admin makes changes after this year. Feel sorry for....

Us!!

Are you talking to me or someone else?

 

[mcane]

Meanwhile a mediocre OSU team that was frankly lucky to win at ORU by one is tied with KU early in the second half
I think Boynton is a fraud and a cheat but he can recruit and coach

 

[nevadanatural]

Disappointing halftime score after that first 5 minutes. Both teams really helter skelter that first half in a turnover fest. The bright spot has been Special K, good defense and 7 boards. He was only credited with one block but he altered a bunch of shots. Haywood 0-3 from deep along with Horne catching the ball behind the arc then stepping up to make it a 2 then missing are the lowlights. We need to keep defending tough and take care of the ball in the second half. Despite the 18-5 free throw differential the refs haven’t been bad, the exception is that mugging Jeriah got with no call.

 

[libertychamp]

Geez Frank you suck

You think

 

[TU_BLA]

Well, within 9 points at half is better than I expected

We had a 10-0 lead just a couple minutes in and then Haith inexplicably starts the early crazy subs. Prichard should not come out unless he can't move. The offense flows so much better with him running the point.

 

[I.I.]

Memphis when pressured, turns it over. At lest keep half court press on them. Haywood needs to hit 5 straight 3’s. He is due.

 

[TU1NNJ]

Nikita has 7 rebounds including 3 offensive rebounds. He sets a tough pick need him to score.

 

[mcane]

And a terrible start to the second half
And amazingly Frank he who never calls times out calls one
Please please please fire this clown
Maybe I should donate my pricey season tickets to a fund to buy our his contract

 

[TulsaAM]

We had a 10-0 lead just a couple minutes in and then Haith inexplicably starts the early crazy subs. Prichard should not come out unless he can't move. The offense flows so much better with him running the point.

Agreed on Pritchard. Haith making horrible subs is a given and I plan it in to my expectations, but it was the best first 10 minutes I have seen this team play before that.

 

[I.I.]

Again Haith has his team ready for the first 5 minutes of the second half. How many times do we see this. I suspect Larry Brown helped at halftime. Toby not so much.

 

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

This team sure hates starting second halves strong.

 

[I.I.]

We are in danger of breaking a NCAA record. I can’t find any record of a team starting out with a 10-0 lead and losing by 20. Need to really start playing defense.

 

[mcane]

Just ugly and uglier
Rick D
You may finally get it when there is an empty arena for Wichita State except for 6k fans for them
This has got its stop and you have the power

 

[TulsaAM]

Wheels are just barely hanging on this bus

 

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

Time to queue the “game thoughts” thread.

Minimal talent on offense, and too small on interior D.

 

[TulsaAM]

Seems the refs are calling the Memphis reach-in fouls now

 

[I.I.]

Memphis can’t stand prosperity. Ha!

 

[TulsaAM]

Holy crap this lineup sucks
