Taken JP out of the game after he pissed away 34 1/2 seconds of good defense from his teammates and bailed Memphis out. Then the stupid turnover wouldn't have happened and we could have retained a little momentum. We may not have won the game, but at least we wouldn't have had to watch the worst defender on the team with his "me first, I hope my dumbass gets on ESPN" attitude for a few crucial minutes.

Don't like it? Too damn bad. Prince is a liability at best.

And seriously, why the hell are we not feeding Chism when he is hot?

Not only did free throws hurt us, but we also lost the three point battle. We were 2-11 and the ones that were made were by Chism and Tyler. I know we are not a good three point shooting team, but our guards need to hit a couple of those every once in a while. Tatum did not even attempt a three point shot. He was 0-3 from the field and 0-2 from the free throw line. Tough loss, but that makes three games in a row where we have played pretty tough defense. This team is getting better.

Not really. Memphis just sucks offensively so we looked good on defense. Evans got way too many easy layups when he was in during the 2nd half. We also had atrocious defense right before the end of the half - and stupidity as the shot clock was running down several times from fouling a jump shooter.

I must give credit to Memphis. They appeared to be the more athletic team and kept their heads and made fewer mistakes than our guys. They did what they had to and got a good win in a rivalry game. I'm not sure too many bragging rights go with this one though. UT has already lost 3 home games this year, and Memphis might have been the best team to do it. IMO. I'm not half as upset about this loss as I was about the Gonzaga loss though. Lowered expectations...... Sadly.

I know people think irrationally after edgy games and our emotions are high but I'm going to accept reality and think we just aren't very good this year.

Too much talent and not enough brains. This type of talent does not fit what Pearl normally coaches. We need a Dane or Jajuan. It reminds me of coaches in football playing with someone else's lesser talent and when they get the stars they can not coach them.

If you are going to try to put me down, at least spell genius right.

If you are going to try to convince me that JP Prince makes this team better, you should probably refrain from basketball commentary altogether.

I don't know what your problem is with me, but I call it like it is, and there are many that know more about basketball than you or me that agree with me.

I have stated many times that I'm a UT/UM basketball fan. I'm not satisfied with either team's performance in this game.

I'm so bummed. I promised the kids I would take them out to eat tonight. There will be a lot of Memphis fans where we are going. I will still be wearing my orange. I'm sure they will all be very gracious winners. Tiger fans are known for their class, right?
