Man, it’s not happening

Extreme long shot. The only chance is to shorten minutes by putting teams away early to keep our legs. Do I see that happening? No. In fact, it wouldn't shock me to go one-and-done.

Nah, Tigers will play a team so bad in the first game that they will win that one. Would not surprise me if they won 2 and then lose and finish the season at 24-10 with a Not Invited Tournament slot as a 2 or 3 seed.

Then start all over next year with maybe 3 guys returning. After 6 years it's pretty obvious what Penny can and can't do and NCAA bubble team is his ceiling. Just another bust.

There’s no team out there that we can’t lose to. Who have we blown out this season in this league from the jump ?

This sadly seems like the most realistic scenario to me

The ref crew today were ones that
Normally do the aac tournament

The sec guys are doing sec games today

He and Cooper are the only ones that should get mins from the bench. It’s win or go home from now on. Penny needs to stop f’ing around with lineups.

Penny won't stop the parade of subs. It seems to be in his nature.

Quote from the CA. This, in a nutshell, is the game...

"The run began with the majority of Memphis' starters in the game. But with 9:12 to go until halftime, Hardaway substituted reserve center Jordan Brown in for Nicholas Jourdain. Brown stayed in the game until the 3:15 mark, which is when the Owls' 17-7 run ended. He did not score (0 for 3 from the field), had one rebound and one turnover."

Maximum capacity 1,566. I’ve been in quite a few HS gyms that are bigger.

It's 3K sold out.

For reference, that is around 1000 smaller than Tulane

If I'm honest about it......I would agree. After this many seasons the die is cast in how he runs the show.

We are going to win the tournament. I’ve never been more convinced. It’s going to happen.

It was the story of the entire season summed up in one game... Quinnerly was bad for 35 minutes, so we lost. And I see a 0% chance we get good Quinnerly for 4 straight games in the conference tournament.

That's kind of oversimplifying it and basically excusing the bad coaching and substitutions from Penny but the season can pretty much be summed up as... "good Q = Tigers win"... "bad Q = Tigers lose"

This is getting old. I don't enjoy watching the games anymore.

15 years since the last Sweet 16, sigh

We shot 47% from the floor and 50% from three

We had no business losing this game

I can see this team winning four games next week.

I can also envision them losing in the first game just as easily.

Tough team to figure out, that's for sure.

Can someone please tell a confused Ike what happened to the team that destroyed UAB

The thing about our tournament ... Our league ... Is anyone can beat anyone on a given day.
The regular season champ just lost to Tulsa. We lost to them by one point. We beat the other top four. No telling who makes it to Sunday.

We weren't destroying them when we were down 61-39, and therein lies the problem... and what happened today.

Because the league is terrible. The fact that USF is in first place proves that.
