[UofMemphis]

These new rules are turning basketball into a free throw contest...

How long has Pastner used those cards? I don't think I've ever seen that.

It's way more of a football thing.

In CUSA everyone seemed to sellout against us...so we use flash cards to counter crowd noise.

 

[BoatShow]

Surprised that place isn't sold out for a top 15 matchup this early in the season. Looks like there are more empty seats than I would have thought.

I was thinking the same thing. ESPN doing a dandy job of making it sound like there's an overfill crowd though. Iba is generally pretty loud.

Definitely, very strange to see it in basketball.

 

[BoatShow]

Uhhhh if you're not watching this you need to be. Smart with 24 pts in 11 minutes.

 

[UofMemphis]

In the words of Ron Burgundy: that escalated quickly.

 

[ctchamps]

Smart on fire

 

[UCONNfan1]

So one kid has scored 24 points and the rest of the team has scored 7 total for OSU? How about a double team or something? I'm not watching the game but that is a very odd stat line. Kid's on fire apparently!

Marcus Smart is real...I hope Memphis figures him out, but I'm glad he's doing well. I'd love to see a non-freshman get naismith

 

[superjohn]

Smart is putting on an absolute show. Memphis looks like they always look, a lot of athletes playing streetball, I'm not a fan of Pastner.

Yet we don't run anything like Calipari since Pastner's a Lute Olson guy...great observation.

Sell outs of 5k seat arenas get loud?

Err, Pastner started under Lute but was also a Calipari assistant before he bolted for UK.

Either way, great recruiter, mediocre at best coach.

I didn't say anything about Calipari. Every time I watch Memphis under Pastner they look poorly coached.

 

[ASweet3781]

So Memphis has 4 senior guards and still played that spazzed out? Geez.

Pastner 0-12 against ranked opponents? Did I just hear that right?

 

[James]

Wtf is smart doing in college. He could have been a top 3 pick, who the hell is advising him?

 

[UofMemphis]

Pastner was with Cal under 365 days...he spent a decade with Lute as a player and coach.

Memphis beat #25 St Marys in the NCAA tourney...

 

[UofMemphis]

They look shell shocked...I think even Pastner said as much.

 

[aceboon]

Memphis beat #25 St Marys in the NCAA tourney...

0-12 vs AP opponents, I believe St Mary's was #25 in the coaches poll

 

[caw]

Memphis beat #25 St Marys in the NCAA tourney...

Probably meant regular season. This is really a poor showing so far. As they leave Smart wide open for three.

I hope Bazz shows out on Thu/Fri, there's going to be alot of writers/TV guys in attendance
