great win for us because of Memphis's rep, but there is a reason they got run out of the building by a Tennessee team last week that was really struggling. Austin Peay also took memphis to OT in memphis and just this past weekend ECU scared them at Memphis. So, it aint your big brothers Memphis Tigers by a long shot.

Acknowledged, but we didn't exactly roll out Sasser-Davis-Ross. In the little book of SMU glory, I'll take it. This is Doherty's regime in 2010. Point taken though.

I was there, I enjoyed the hell of it. And I had a good laugh after the game when Turner and Miller were having a hugfest with Doherty on the court like he just won the conference title or something. I swear they gave him an extenson on the spot. :oops:

They have 7 frosh that played tonight. They went cold the last 9 minutes of both halves, but shot close to 70% from the field before they went cold. Couldn't hit the broadside of a barn with free throws the second half (missed every attempt). Yet they out-rebounded SMU by 12. Sometimes you just gotta shake your head in disbelief.

We can bask in the glow of a win tonight and hope it carries over to Saturday against Houston!

4 of Memphis' 6 best players are frosh, so I'm not sure what people are expecting out of them. They are very talented, just lack experience and legit upperclassmen. The time to get them is now

Friend of mine emailed me the box score.

Memphis was 3-13 from the foul line and 0-9 in the second half? Are you kidding?

Just wow

listening to Doh on the way home, he commented that if you really wanted to see some bball, come to practice and see the "twos".

Cant wait for the Fab 5 to be on the court in the fall. Pats=two weeks from tonight

They blow out this years starters every day in practice. Scrimmages aren't even competitive

Staff member told me that Nyakundi may be the 6th or 7th best player on the roster, which is funny considering he's like a 15ppg player this year

===============

Would someone please tell me why these ultra-dominant benchwarmers aren't playing in the games NOW? I've missed that little nugget of reasoning/explanation somehow.

Well that makes sense - because they transferred in and have to sit out a year?
