1) Jeronne Maymon. Jeronne Maymon. Jeronne Maymon. Incredible performance. That's as good a performance as we've seen in years. An All-American worthy performance.
2.) Trae Golden choked. There's no nice way to say it. If he plays even mediocre, we win the game. Plain and simple. He was utterly atrocious on both ends of the floor.
3.) Dwight Miller, Kenny Hall, and Yemi all provided quality minutes today.
4.) Jordan McRae sucked. He nearly gave Memphis an 8-0 run by himself in the first half. He also played sub-par on ball defense.
5.) Richardson was excellent for a true freshmen. He clearly beat out McRae in this game, and if McRae doesn't pick it up, Richardson will continue to play.
6.) We dominated the glass today. Dominated. That bodes well for us in the future.
7.) This was a game of two halves. Coach Martin learned very quickly why it's not smart to play up-tempo with Memphis.
8.) The second half adjustments were fantastic. Fantastic. Good shot selection for the most part, and we controlled the tempo and the game.
9.) Big time kudos for Coach Martin for getting us in a position to win in the late game situations. He put his best player in a position to make a play each and every time. That's all a coach can do. And, it's refreshing to see that rather than a half-court heave like we saw last year on numerous occassions.
10.) The bottomline is this team can be good. We learned that we have some serious toughness today. We learned that we can compete with anyone at anytime even if one of our big guns is playing poorly. Congratulations to Memphis on a well-deserved win. Both teams played their hearts out today. It was a true classic matchup that is only going to help both teams going forward.
Go Vols!
