No reason we should have lost this game

We start 1-17 from the field with no flow to our offense, yet Cuonzo never called a TO. Wth?

(disclaimer: I never played college or pro ball)

look fellas i like coach martin. I appreciate everything he has gone through to get to this level especially overcoming cancer. I appreciate how he rose from the mean streets of east st louis to become the man he is. As a former memphis hs coach i can't tell you how much i appreciate it. He also played in the tough big ten for one of the all time greats...but with that said something is missing from his preps and his abliity to relate his gameplan to the players. They had more talent than xavier...their weakness was speed and quickness. the white kid ate them alive inside all night...2nd and 3rd shots off missed attempts...lack of rebounding makes me want to crash my head against the wall...i was a fanantic about rebounding and free throws and we all know how many they missed tonight...there is something missing and it has been missing since day 1...i hope he can turn this around...i would honestly hate to see him fired.

racist..................... J/k

Where did you play?


Briarcrest and AAU Y. Lived near Ridgeway HS and grew up playing with Orien Watson and Ronnie Schmitz. Lost to them in the regionals in '88 as I sat on the bench with an ACL I tore in a Christmas tourney at White Station.
Still haunts me obviously.

I was head coach at Westside...when it was still a hs and was still relevant. Assisted at Hillcrest when it was AAA and one of the powers of the city...

I certainly hope you didn't play AAU for Bobby Dodd.........



yes I did and the guy with his face blacked out on the espn story was my teammate. Dodd was weird and everybody knew it. I never saw anything and the teammate that went to espn is a weird dude that was doing some crazy stuff in HS and is still loony. Team was loaded though. Ernest Smith and all that Memphis state crew. People have no idea how much cash was flowing around to players of their caliber back in the day. I sat there and watched Larry Finch give Ron Huery $20 bill after bill for hitting shots from the corner at Dana Kirk camp.
