Yes. I thought Tim was going to faint. He's been on Cromwell for three years to go up strong. Apparently, the lesson suddenly took.

Hat - let us know what all those bball gurus have to say.

You're missing a pretty good Bradley-Michigan State game. I'm impressed with Bradley - they are not afraid at all. In fact, MSU has a 3 pt lead with just over 3 to play, and that is their largest lead of the night.

1. The next time someone says Mayo won't play defense, tell them to talk to Derrick Rose. He flat locked him up.
2. Not a very good offensive game by either side. However, the defense had something to do with it.
3. Got a chance to talk at some length with Danny Ainge walking out of the Garden. Extremely gracious guy. He spoke highly of Tennessee fans.
4. The scouts were unanimous on one topic. Texas is the best team they've all seen so far.
5. I hope Tim is recruiting under the assumption that this will be Davon Jefferson's only year in college.
6. Memphis will see a whole bunch of teams try to borrow the hybrid defense used tonight. It certainly kept them from getting to the rim as much as they are accustomed.
7. Also, the scouts didn't come out of the second game terribly impressed with either team. "Sloppy" seemed to be the consensus.
8. Bizarre pairing at the Garden on Valentine's Night: Matchbox 20 and Alanis Morrisette.
9. I'll be interested to see how many people show up for the Roy Jones-Felix Trinidad fight.
10. Again, I ask the question: What benefit does UT derive from playing at UTC?

Good stuff Hat, I just listen to Cal on his radio show here in Memphis and he said this game was the most painful game he has seen in his coaching here in Memphis and the first thing he said he was outcoached. He said he thought USC would play that type of D and he told his players how to play it and they just didn't play it right. I sure will be glad when Camp Cal gets here. These types of games are turning my hair grey....BTW, Mayo is GOOD. Wow.

D Rose was the leading rebounder tonight he had 10 rebounds, if that tells ya what kind of night the Tigers had.

If Rose ever decides to play that passively again, Cal should hand him a clipboard and a bunch of Gatorade cups.

I do see that side of it, but I think it was good for them. The environment seemed really electric and UTC was playing their title game against UT. I say it's a good win.

I'm still worried about this team though.

The thing that enrages me the most about the Tinsley thing is that he and Isiah have very similar backgrounds. Had Mary Thomas passed away while Zeke was playing for the Pistons, he would have physically assaulted anyone on the roster who didn't attend the funeral. Well, except for Adrian Dantley. He hated him anyways.

Man, Adrian Dantley... :lolabove:

He refused to even go to Dallas for like a week or whatever. I saw an interview with him a few years back and he is still pizzed about that trade.

I think every Puerto Rican and RJJ hater on the planet would show up to see that bum get knocked out again. I only wish Hopkins could have gotten his shot to send Roy Jones to the nursing home.
