Good game UConn...

I must apologize for questioning Coach Pastner's integrity when it comes to recruiting in the past. By all accounts now, he seems like a high character guy and I certainly applaud his decision to suspend a player who doesn't adhere to his rules. It was easy to assume that he was filthy-dirty since he had been part of Calipari's staff (well-documented World Wide Wes shenanigans), but it is incongruous to think that someone who enforces language standards would turn a blind eye to that stuff.

I would just say that Josh spent a decade with Lute Olson as a player and coach...he spent 1 season with Cal...he's much more a Lute Olson kind of guy.
 
Louisville @Cincy SMU Then the AAC tourney...that's where our seed will be decided...we have 13 days said:
I would be happy to see you win all three!

It's tough for UConn to foul when Memphis was getting clean drives to the hoop.

Plus, look at the box score. Goodwin had two fouls in 44 minutes?

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

I like Pastner. Seems like a class act.

BTW, Thank goodness Memphis is in this league.

This is what I said over there: "when you glance at the stat sheet the FTs catch your eye...but to me the game was lost because Goodwin, Nichols, Pellom, and King went for a combined 20pts, 10rebs"
Just my view.

I was at the game and was really surprised when I saw the FT discrepancy after the game. Really didn't feel like that wide of a gap. A lot of that has to do with UConn giving up tons of easy layups and Memphis challenging everything at the rim. However I do feel like there were a few out of bounds type plays they got wrong (both ways.) Also, I didn't have the benefit of know what happened on that loose ball play at the end of regulation. If it was a jump ball it would have gone to Memphis. Did the shot clock run out? Did we got awarded a time out? Was your guy out of bounds when he was touching the ball?
 
The scrum with 16 seconds left in regulation was a shot clock violation.

There was also, though a tie up before then that gave the ball to UConn.

Right. Thus giving Memphis the next one. It looked like the initial call was jump ball.

Kinda funny now, but when we got the alternate possession I think with like 5 minutes left my buddy and I had tempered excitement knowing there would probably be a crucial one down the stretch and they'd get it.

Yeah Memphis was too fast to foul. Jesus they are quick.

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.

Never had much to say about Cronin until I watched the Cincy loss to SMU - he was a complete idiot, acted like a little kid. Instead of taking it to his team who played horrid, he vented at the refs for everything. It was truly classless. Cincy has had a really good year but I am not sure they have the discipline to take them far - they have the seniors and the experience.
 
Cronin seems like a fine guy. The one time he said, "I'm gonna physically rip those jerseys off their backs." made me think of the Fine family, but other than that he's a good coach.

And Memphis will be a tough out in March if they keep running like they did today. Not many physically conditioned teams out there. Thank god the Husky Run boosts our cardio and stamina game.

SMU was probably going to win that game regardless but that was a completely one sided officiated game. I think the refs got baited into a lot of calls from the crowd. Mick was very frustrated that night.

Speaking of classless, what is more classless then Calhoun whining that Mick Cronin didn't vote Kemba Walker 1st team All Big East? Especially since it wasn't even true. I've also personally heard Calhoun ask a UC fan, on the way to the locker room for half time, if he wanted to fight and that he'd "see him after the game." No one ever said you had to be a classy coach to win. Jim Calhoun is the #1 example of this...

This guy has been talking down to the Memphis fan all thread. I hope both continue to get better and better but only one of these programs has consistently been relevant for the last 15 year and its not Cincinnati.

Congratulations, you found some insane way to compare Mock Cronin to Calhoun. Let me assure you that is where the comparison ends for now and forever.

You made a good decision not taking him up on the offer kobe. You'd still be eating through a straw.

Better read more carefully. Kobe is bringing the tonight.
 
Cincinnati eked one out against Houston today, so it's no surprise their fans are a little touchy.
 
Was responding to the poster calling Cronin "a complete idiot." No big deal guys!!! We're all friends here!!!

I think people are more curious about the completely unprovoked attack on UofMemphis.

Nothing serious. Memphis is one of our old rivals that we've dominated in conference play year after year...
 
I've been reading some of the Memphis message boards and with all due respect Uof Memphis, some of your buddies seem to be the biggest cry babies I have ever seen in my life. This thread is the biggest crock of bullshit http://csnbbs.com/thread-677374.html. This guy claims to be an ex D1 referee and I quote: "The reason UConn won today was because
Northeastern Team
TV market share
UConn has been struggling on the fringes of the the top 25 all year
Old Blue-Blood Big East vs. CUSA party-crashers
Conference tournament seeding
Look for ref ties to UConn (haven't looked but that DOES happen)
Coaches blackballing of refs (we don't have the pull that UConn does at this time.

and of course...wait for it: ESPN is located in CT

I was so tempted to log into the site and call bullshit, but I decided not to be a troll. Real simple why Memphis lost: 18 turnovers.

A good guest does not come on our site and get into pissing matches with visitors from other schools. Calling Calhoun names is another not very good idea if you want to hang around. UofMemphis has been a good guest.
 
You get to see other fans true character when their teams on a role.
I think our fans handle success well.

Quse fans are a hot steamy pile. I don't interact much with Cinci fans -but if beating UCONN and being ranked in the top ten makes them think their coach should be in the same sentence with Calhoun - they are delusional. (Attacking his character does not make it anymore true so what's the point?).

Calhoun and Cronin same sentence? You're a dope huh? He could hardly make his staff…..now move on! You're little badger of a coach tries his napoleon act all the time and somehow gets away with it as the refs see him as a cute little red headed step child……don't come here putting Mick and Jim Calhoun in the same sentence you embarrass the crap out of yourself you idiot!

There's greatness and there's wannabe's….both you and your coach should understand that. Heck that's why you're even here…….we get you want to be UConn ;)
