NIT is a long shot:

Wrong, Sports Illustrated has Memphis as a Number 9 seed in the tournament, if we beat them to sweep 3 games against them then play Houston tough, we should get a tournament invite!!!

Nobody is arguing that projections have Memphis as a 9 seed, definitely into the tournament. What we're saying is a victory over them won't get us in by playing Houston close in the championship. Our only trip to the dance includes two more victories, nothing less.

[Ruski]

Cincy Houston on now. Houston off to 11-2 start and look like the #1 team in America

[Wave Fan]

Looks like the Metro Conference semis

[Ruski]

Classic Hunter let down. Memphis plays good, aggressive defense and Hunter has no answer to settle things down. Players continue to take errant shots. That's what happens when you have no inside presence and rely too much on hot shooting from outside.

[Jaxwave]

Cook just loves to try to dribble thru crowds into 3 bigs.

[Jaxwave]

34-7 run for Memphis

[RobertM320]

42-17 Memphis at the half. After hitting 4 of our first 6 shots, we went 2-25 over the last 15:30. Pathetic.

[Jaxwave]

37-7 run to end the half. Nice job adjusting Ron.

[Jaxwave]

Maybe Ron can recruit a HS player or two this offseason.

[Ruski]

Pathetic coaching. Didn't have an answer for Hardaway's adjustments from the first 2 games. A lot of clapping by Hunter but didn't see any plays drawn up to answer Memphis' aggressive D.

All that hootin n hollerin had the players come out really overexcited. So many costly mistakes early on with jitters and terrible decision-making.

[Ruski]

Maybe Ron can recruit a HS player or two this offseason.

May a big man or two. Finally after 5 years in the job.

[Jaxwave]

Forbes and Cook are good players. Cook is a ball hog who loves the dribble in place between his legs move then drive into 3 bigs move. None of them are good ballhandlers. After that there is no talent after how many years of Hunter?

[Jaxwave]

Maybe Ron can recruit a HS player or two this offseason.

May a big man or two. Finally after 5 years in the job.

Ruski, rebounding is not a concern for Ron. It is irrelevant as he has said many times. Clownish for a basketball coach to think that much less say that publicly.

Welp, I guess we've hit our ceiling at 18-20 wins.

Wichita just fired a coach who actually took them to the post season. Guess we'll slide back down to 5th or so in the AAC soon enough.

[Jaxwave]

The ceiling is 18-20 as long as you schedule bad teams in your OOC. Oh and beat them.

[tpstulane]

Team finally ran out of gas. The starters got heavy legs and that will mess with your shot. Season over most likely after today.

[Jaxwave]

TPS, they’ve had a week off. Why isn’t Memphis tired?

I think they play more than 5 or 6 guys the entire game.
We don’t use our bench enough IMO.

[Jaxwave]

We don’t have a bench because Hunter doesn’t recruit HS players and develop them.

[Jaxwave]

Cook is so overrated. He can score against mediocre team.

[Jaxwave]

Hunter kept bragging that this was the year. Nobody on this team can handle the ball.

[tpstulane]

Memphis up by 34pts with 5mins left cleared it’s bench meanwhile our starters still in there. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a lot of our bench guys go to the portal after the season.

[Jaxwave]

Yesterday I was accused of hating Tulane basketball. I don’t but I think their coach is a fraud.
