USF Game Thread

[cmullinsTU]

A good portion of the crowd made it in time for the senior recognition. If people continue spilling in between now and tip it'll be largest crowd of the season.

 

[TU 1978]

EE is a senior?! How can that be? Will he actually play a game for us?

 

[TUBballJunkie]

That was flipping awesome, Nick Wood!

 

[nevadanatural]

Maybe they should have left Nick in, we always start out so cold.

 

[t-townpod]

Cold shooting. Time to pick up pressure

Cold shooting. Time to pick up pressure

Also forcing it inside

 

[bigzit]

These guys sure aren't playing like Seniors so far.... They need to wake up! USF can beat 'em --- they realize this, right?

 

[TU_BLA]

Smith in...lets see how effective he is

 

[I.I.]

Smith tried it for awhile but seems in pain and sat down.

 

[cmullinsTU]

Coolest part of Wood's made basket? Haith. Not kidding, he was the most excited person in the arena. He was celebrating as if Wood just made the game winning basket at the buzzer. Was really cool to see.

 

[I.I.]

Shockers tied. One minute to go.

 

[t-townpod]

We can play even with anyone when we shot <20% from the 3 against a zone

 

[bigzit]

Need to hit those 3s.....

And make FTs! We will get a lot of FTs today.

 

[bigzit]

AND USF IS BAD. Like really bad.

 

[bigzit]

WOW.... Unreal... WOW....

 

[bigzit]

Is this for real ?!?!?!

It's like watching a Three Stooges Episode. "Curly meets Dr. Naismith."

 

[TU_BLA]

UNI/WSU in OT. Syracuse and Pitt both lost.

 

[I.I.]

Make shots we won , miss we lose to anybody. Not very consistent. Birt needs a good shooting night going into the tournament. We are about 10-0 when he is on.

 

[bigzit]

This is crap.
Tulsa can lose to literally ANYONE.

 

[bigzit]

USF is comfy and very confident now...
Tulsa is TIGHT.
We be a struggle folks.

 

[TU_BLA]

Keep jacking 3's...literally everyone for TU is just jacking up shots.

 

[Tulsafanzz]

USF is bigger & slower. Tulsa is smaller & faster. Why do we not try to speed the game up?

 

[bigzit]

FOLLOW your shot. Don't watch it.

 

[bigzit]

Ray needs to sit.... Bring in Taplin.

 

[nevadanatural]

You can tell Smitty is hurting but he's giving it a go. After today he'll have another week to heal so maybe he can go in the tourney.

 

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

Taplin was getting absolutely embarrassed by McMurray (sp).

 

[bigzit]

Ray is not effective on the floor.
Neither is Wright.

 

[T Up]

Just once I'd like to see Juice get completely selfish and take over a game. It is just weird to watch an all conference player who passes up
So many shots.

 

[bigzit]

Nice follow up by Wright.

 

[bigzit]

WOW... just WOW....
Will come down to final possession.... ?

 

[cmullinsTU]

Ugly 1st half. TO and poor shooting will make things uglh. I doubt USF only has 2 TOs in the 2nd half. Look for trapping to continue.

Did Shaq get hurt on his one hand dunk attempt? He didn't play much after that happen.

Two fouls. He's fine.

 

[cmullinsTU]

Two fouls. He's fine.

Every damn time I ask about a player sitting its due to fouls... You'd think one of these times I'd check the foul stats first, but nope.

 

[pinaction]

We need to crank it up. Even if we win it needs to be a blowout or won't look good.

 

[ctt8410]

USF is the most turnover-prone team in the conference. Need to keep up the pressure.

 

[Gold*]

We need to go inside. Opens everything else up. USF hit done lucky shots. Antigua will get a tech in the second half.

 

[TU_BLA]

Nice start to the 2nd half. Need to close out McMurray and deny the ball. He's the only actual basketball player they have. Of course he's fighting cramps now which means he's touch and go the rest of the game.

 

[bigzit]

Tulsa has never lost when Swanny scores at least 8....

Right?

Nervous as hell...

 

[The Eye of the Hurricane]

Why should the last home game with these guys be any different than following them for 4 years? Times, especially on defense, where they've shown tons of heart and the sums been way more than the parts. But a generally passive group that can look like don't give a crap if you play a soft zone and slow the game down. The only consistent thing has been the collective lack of skill on offense.

We need Birt and Smith back playing well.
