Good game UConn...

[breezy]

Nothing against Cinci. Want SMU, UConn Cinci and Memphis to jump ahead of Ville

At this point we gotta root for SMU Memphis and Cincy in any game unless they're playing us or each other. 'Ville can take a lap

This thread is funny . I like both Cinci and Memphis and respect both coaches. If you could combine Pastner's recruiting and charisma with Cronin's tactical skills and Napoleonic complex, you have an absolutely premier coach.

You'd also get a helluva halloween costume. A curlyhaired redhead gnome.:

The bottom half of the league is abysmal, but Memphis, Cincinnati, UConn should stay top 25 programs and maybe SMU takes a leap. Have to figure temple rebounds at some point too.

It's not ideal but playing Memphis 2-3 times a year will be fun.

Shout out to @UofMemphis for being a classy and big fan. You can tell he's a die hard that knows the sport.

Pastner seems like a good guy but he is at Memphis, the recruiting practically does it self. Going back to the '80's Memphis always produces 3-4 high major prospects a year. He will get better as a coach but he isn't there yet.

He's only 36...if he's this good now...how good will he be 5 years from now...10 years from now?

That's why we gave him a massive, and long contract...it's an investment in our future.

Good game guys on to the next. Good luck

 

[kobe]

Probably not a concern to University of Memphis fans, IMO...

 

[Kitaman]

Our front court lost the game...

Austin, Shaq, and Pellom got a total of : 20pts, 11reb

That simply won't cut it...but, there's plenty of time to learn before March.

Early this season this was our issue. Not saying its fixed but its much better. Just stay hopeful as its fixable (or improvable), we can testify.

 

[UofMemphis]

At 2.65 million, I doubt he's leaving. (And that's not our max)

He would leave for a job like Arizona...but they're doing fine.

I was really impressed with Memphis today and I think Pastner is a much better coach than people say he is. We already know he's a phenomenal recruiter, but the man can also coach. His team competed hard today and got all they wanted out of his timeouts. It's amazing how much more class Memphis fans have than the scumbags from Syracuse, Pitt and the Catholic 7. It's nice to have a healthy rivalry between two great programs.

Our last three games are:

Louisville
@Cincy
SMU

Then the AAC tourney...that's where our seed will be decided...we have 13 days, and 3 games to prepare for that.

 

[zls44]

Memphis' execution out of time outs today was fantastic. Never been a big Pastner guy, but he coached a great game.

 

[Jimdish255]

I think you guys have some great talent and could do some damage in the tourney. Got to watch out for those short fuses though could get you into trouble.

 

[Brochacho]

Really finding myself liking Memphis, just wish we weren't in the same conference. Good game Tiger fans.

 

[Husky]

 

[ZackB05]

Really crazy game. We didn't get much out of anybody besides the great performances from Shabazz and Boat. We played no defense and didn't rebound. But we attacked the rim and were able to get to the free throw line and we didn't turn the ball over. Huge factors in the game. Great win. Great crowd. Glad to have Memphis in the conference as they are a very solid team.

 

[MilliniumPrince]

The Memphis backcourt plays at warp speed. They will cause all kinds of hell in March.

 

[OkaForPrez]

Jackson, Johnson and Goodwin are really likeable players. Pelham and Dixon talk more with their mouths than they do with their play.

This feels like a rivaly in the making. I'm not suggesting we print t shirts or anything, but the ingredients are there, let's see if they continue to mix right.

Dixon and Pellom are transfers...Mizzou and GW...Pastner took a chance on them and I do agree they have a ton of upside...but, yeah, they do talk a lot.

Oh man I said that all day today….last game Pellom was worst tan this but when he kicked nolan he made a comeback as a with Dixon a real close 2nd……the rest are real likable and just play!

 

[AJollyRancher]

Still hoping we're out of this conference in two years, but would also like to take Memphis with us.

 

[Walker11]

I just want to point out to our new Memphis buddy that this board does have an ignore function.

 

[Hoophound]

I like Memphis almost entirely because I like UofMemphis the poster on this board. He's a gracious visitor and not near the two faced backstabbing piece of garbage that Senore from UL is. I also like to watch Pastner. I can't stop marveling at how he looks exactly like Ben Stiller and Julia Louis Dreyfus' love child. Just uncanny.

Wow. I don't think Senore is nearly that bad. What did I miss? He got a little defensive, largely on the football board. Is that all?
