Go Tulane lol

 

[Loca5174]

Tulane up by 3 at the moment

 

[I.I.]

You can see why these teams are 8-9. They should be 9-10 or worse. Still have Mike Nance and his crew.i think I am for Tulane. Penny’s last D-1 game maybe.

 

[drboobay]

Kind of boring. May run errands.

 

[Loca5174]

Tulane up 8 at half

 

[Loca5174]

Tulane is mud stomping Memphis lol

 

[TU1NNJ]

I just saw that Tulane shot a technical before the tip-off. Penny didn’t turn in the starting line-up 10 min before tip!

 

[Henry Kendall]

What kind of sucks to me is that Memphis will fire Penny, hire an even halfway decent coach, and with the money they have will dominate the league for years to come.

Their fans deserve a good coach.

Sorry, but I think their smug arrogant fans deserve to suck for 20 more years.

Their fans were all in on throwing Tubby out to get a shiny new Penny. Make them keep him another 5 years.

What do you think our chances are to keep our retuning stars that are not seniors we will have a new team every year due to our small nil spending and the lure of dramatically greater $ for sec big 10 12 acc etc and we probably will Lose our head coach and assistants that’s just the new world and this year is an oddity win in ncaa or wait 20 more years.

 

[Loca5174]

Tulane wins 81-69. Now for the inevitable

I don’t know if Tubby could have been successful there or not but he never had a chance. The fans wanted instant success and Penny was actively working to get players to not go to Memphis because he wanted the job.

 

[I.I.]

According to paper today, Konkol did not suddenly become a great coach, it was the new AD coming up with new NIL money. That was Berry Tramel’s column today. I think it was that but I give Konkol a lot of credit too.

 

[I.I.]

I’m a big Temple fan on this one.These two teams are so much better than the last two.

 

[Loca5174]

Who we pulling for FAU or Temple lol

 

[libertychamp]

Temple

I was just having this conversation with WD off-line. What do you all think?…. Is this coaching staff amazing evaluators of talent when they got the money to go out and recruit who they wanted, or did they get lucky with this class, or was it a combination of both?

 

[Loca5174]

I say a combination of both. He has brought us some good players but I think he struck it big with this bunch

Next year will tell. Do they have the formula?

 

[I.I.]

Justin Moore is a big part of the formula.

 

[I.I.]

Referees are calling nothing. It helps FAU.

 

[TU1NNJ]

I’m a big Temple fan on this one.These two teams are so much better than the last two.

I am a double OT fan followed by a triple OT against UNT tomorrow.

 

[Henry Kendall]

Congrats to the city of Birmingham for showing out. Looks like there are upwards of a dozen people in attendance for this game.

Dumb to have the tournament in a city with a population of under 200k with no real tourist attractions and small airport

 

[Loca5174]

FAU vs North Texas tomorrow.

 

[dlsnid]

Even announcer said it was sparse crowd

 

[Henry Kendall]

Even announcer said it was sparse crowd

No. My hair is sparse, that crowd was nonexistent.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

How huge was the crowd for Penny's sayonara tour of a single game? That's only a 3 1/2 hr drive. I bet they came in droves.

 

[I.I.]

Both bands were there and cheerleaders. Both teams were turning it over a lot and no fouls were called.

 

[Weatherdemon]

The officiating style so far is not going to be beneficial to us. It will definitely favor the more physical teams.

If we ram the basketball down their throats the officiating won’t matter

 

[I.I.]

Charlotte and Tulane are not close to UNT and FAU. At least not showing it yet.

 

[I.I.]

First team to 50 may win. Charlotte is 4-30 from the floor first half.

 

[t-townpod]

When your opponent shoots under 18% and only up a few there is a problem.

 

[lawpoke87]

Level of play conference wide needs to improve.

 

[libertychamp]

It is imperative that Fau loses today to unt we can beat unt on a neutral court baldly not so much fau that’s not a good physical matchup and an inspired game with wsu we will win handily and when usf gets to the finals miracles can happen when winning a championship is on fhe line you can throw out the stat book and past performances and coach konkol can proove he could be the next nolan tubby or self

 

[nevadanatural]

8 minutes to the and it looks like Carlotta might be ready to run Tulane out of the gym.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

It will be funny as the 8 seed, if Memphis loses to Tulane, who loses to Charlotte, who loses to to UAB, who loses to USF, who loses to us.
