This isn't one; I think the #1 seed in the AAC got a substantially easier path to the final. Temple will be physical and push WSU tonight. If the Shockers prevail, Houston will give them a tough game tomorrow. I like the way this is setting up.

Except for the fact its been a resume killer. Tier 3 wins aren't worth too much and the overall attendance looks dreadful.

I almost wish they would just let the one seed host the tournament or give the league tournament to Cincinnati or Wichita. Memphis if they ever get back to being Memphis would be a solid choice. The tournament is probably from an attendance and interest standpoint below the Mountain West, A-10, and maybe the WCC. Hopefully the evening games and Saturday change my perception.

This isn't a resume killer. Just no real chances to add to resume until the finals. Not getting to the 1 line anyways so don't really care about that.

Yep. Just try and recruit greater Memphis without AAU connections and handlers.

I hope they're keeping Tubby Smith now. If only to piss off entitled, soulless fans who'd take a chance on something as sleazy as what's being kicked around; and to make Gary Parrish look like a douchebag for having reported a story with anonymous sources.

The meltdown and angst over on the Memphis board is...priceless.

I am wholeheartedly pulling for a big UC win tomorrow, but I will be greatly consoled if UC loses just by the resulting meltdown a Memphis win would produce.

Early 2nd half Temple keeping the game close, Wichita State keeping a lead but can't pull away.

Whistles are on Wichita States side.

Temple kept it close but Shocks prevail via Morris and Shamet

Houston destroys ucf, in Orlando. They’re hot at the right time.

All Penny has to do is get one good class with those connections and get us hot again. It’s easier to recruit players to a good team.. We have everything it takes to be great. The stadium, fan base, brand new facilities.. all we need is a spark and we could turn into a power in this conference and you know it.

I understand the bashing tho, I wouldn’t want us to awake either lol

Wow. You Memphidiots have always had an delusions of grandeur. You have 2 final fours in your history that have both been vacated for cheating. Other than that you have nothing. You have always been on the outside looking in. Show me in your illustrious history where you are a top 25 program of al time. I'll wait. Oh, and the XII is not calling and never was. Most delusional fan base I have ever come across.

Yeah since Memphis has had so much success against UC in the past.

"Don't sleep on Memphis."

It's been too long since we have had a good "sleeping giant" argument around these parts. What...not since Rutgers??? So you're in good company there.

Agreed. But the delusional AAC apologists keep saying we need Memphis to be Memphis. Hilarious.
