Memphis v Louisville on CBS

[Rico444]

UL losing probably hurts us (I don't know) but fackem I'm rooting for UM

We have to pass SMU in order to not be in the 4/5 game in the tournament, so Memphis is irrelevant to us.

What is up with Pitino's goatee??? Is he doing smut when he's not coaching?

I would love to like this a few thousand times. That's a great question.

Louisville is a really good team but they've been really bad down the stretch of games this year. Russ Smith bailed them out last Saturday, but it doesn't look like it will happen today.

Nice job, Tigers!

That's what I didn't know, I can't think ahead to the conference tournament.

UofMemphis congrats, you guys blitzed them at the end.

Congrats Memphis! 5 ranked AAC teams again (hopefully).

 

[ASweet3781]

What in God's name was that lane violation call all about??

 

[aceboon]

Great job by Memphis, sweeps Louisville. The crab in a bucket posters are going to have to recalibrate their narrative that the Memphis wins aren't so good

edit: LMAO - the filter changes p0rn to smut???

Louisville is growing out beards during their win streak, so luckily Rick will be clean shaven the next time you see him.

Holy mother of god we did it!

 

[FluxTZ]

That was a wild ending. Congrats!

This is going to make for a very screwy Top 25. What are voters to do?

Memphis has one more loss than UConn, has lost to UConn twice, has the two wins over Louisville as feathers in the cap, and they just lost this week to Houston.

Do you put Memphis ahead of UConn?

I don't see how you can do that. One more loss, 2 losses to UConn. NO. UConn should be voted ahead of Memphis.

Thank You!! See you chumps on Thursday

Congrats.

I'm glad to see Memphis win. It should keep them in the top25 and makes our two wins against them look better. But it's just not fair! Why can't Louisville go 4-23 from 3-point range against us? Maybe we could beat them for once.

Can someone please explain the lane violation? Was the lane violation on the 1st free throw he made? Cause if that's the case then I understand why the point was whipped out, however, don't you still get to shoot the 2nd free throw? Or if it was on the 2nd free throw, then how does the point from the 1st one get whipped out?

 

[UConn17]

Great game...but that lane violation confuses me too

If he was shooting 2 I agree the first one gets wiped out, but he gets to shoot the second.

Agreed. It was the double bonus, so if the lane violation occurred during the 1st free throw then he should have been entitled to shoot the 2nd free throw. I'm really confused...

Ok, the final score was 72-66 which makes totally sense. Dixon got credit for the 1st made free throw and the lane violation was on the 2nd free throw. So it was never actually a single possession game at the end. That CBS announcing crew really up the ending.

 

[TheRogers]

Awesome win!!!!!

 

[babysheep]

a legitimate Final Four team.

1-5 vs ranked opponents is Final Four caliber? We are 4-2 vs ranked opponents (4-4 if you count SMU who was not ranked each time we played) and some people here thought we had a real chance of missing the tournament.

Both stay unbanked and Duke goes to #1

 

[upstater]

In this conference, a team can lose to Houston and then beat the #1 team in the conference the very next game.
