Tulame game thread

[TU 1978]

Watching ESPNU over their app is fun. They can't keep the scoring straight and at the break got to watch the commentator style and spray her hair.

 

[TUBballJunkie]

9 too many three attempts on the season for Dre.

 

[bigzit]

D Wright needs to graduate already..... he's a game winning KILLER. Just a bad basketball player and needs to stop playing the game.

 

[T Up]

Wow. I guess this board has given up on this team. 3 minutes to go till half and one comment. Sad
Decent crowd and student section ( must have given them all a 10 point bump on their next test.
Tulane is not very good but they don have some size inside. Exciting to watch a team shoot 28% from the field and it not be us.

 

[I.I.]

Tulane was decimated by those three transfers. Bad luck for a good guy Conroy. Amie probably had something to do with it.

Nice to see us attack the rim again after missing 50 threes at Houston.

 

[t-townpod]

Wright is not the problem

 

[drboobay]

I am at the game. Wright is playing hard. Has several boards and a couple of buckets. If he can do that more times than not, it is the most we can hope for.

Curtis must be banged up.

 

[t-townpod]

? Not that it matters but where is big e and brown

 

[TU_BLA]

Observations: Swannegan started in place of Dre, Curtis hasn't touched the floor. Taplin playing well. Shaq hasn't scored but he's doing a lot of other things. Ray is really disruptive on the defensive side. We really should be up 12-15. Not sure why we stick with this zone. Going to kill us against teams who are decent.

 

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

Agree that Wright is playing with passion...he's just a little snakebit.

Surprised with the decent crowd.

Tough to watch this team...especially when Woodard can't shoot.

Let's hope for a hot streak in Orlando in March. February will be uber-painful.

 

[drboobay]

Zone does not look good.

Woodard needs to shoot himself out of this funk.

Pitiful display of shooting on both sides.

 

[TU_BLA]

? Not that it matters but where is big e and brown

Brown is on the bench in warm-ups like TK and Etou. I haven't seen Big E in a couple of weeks.

Dre is playing hard and is playing smarter. Now he just needs the layups to fall when he makes a good play.

 

[I.I.]

Why do we have such a good crowd?Great weather and OU playing? I'll take it though. Maybe lots of parents and grandparents of halftime show.

 

[T Up]

Guess finally has a coach that is tired of his nonsense and let him know that Swanny can take his minutes easily.

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Wright jacking up threes is absolutely a problem. 0-9 on the season. Literally the only comment about him.

Do athletes get senioritis about playing their sport? I thought they'd leave it all out there but it's starting to look like how I felt my 8th semester of college.

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Big E wasn't in Houston. I asked someone in athletics if he was sick and he said he thought so.

But this seems weird. Has he been seen this semester?

 

[TU 1978]

Dre is playing hard and is playing smarter. Now he just needs the layups to fall when he makes a good play.

You must be watching a different game than I am.

 

[T Up]

We play 3 point guards and start forcing turn overs. Nice change of pace.
Ray is really causing havoc.

 

[drboobay]

To be sick for a month is weird or serious. Let's hope he just decided to leave the squad.

 

[t-townpod]

Wright is not nearly our biggest issue

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Who ISN'T an issue?

This entire team has underperformed for the last game and a half.

 

[t-townpod]

Is brown hurt. He already burned red shirt I think and might as well give him a couple minutes here and there to see if he needs to be overrecruited

 

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

Unreal. This is really hard to watch.

 

[TU 1978]

Taplin looks decent.

Wright taking 3 point shots is just stupid.

 

[I.I.]

We must have 6-7 steals this half playing Tulsa defense.

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Nice work, 78. Taplin proceeds to turn it over immediately.

 

[TUBballJunkie]

How many lazy turnovers for us?? :-/

 

[cmullinsTU]

Swannegan with 8+ points! He solidified the win!!!

 

[I.I.]

He now has 15.

 

[TU 1978]

Nice work, 78. Taplin proceeds to turn it over immediately.

I'll admit it - everything that goes wrong is my fault.

 

[astonmartin708_rivals]

Wright is fine, he can make that three... he was actually a decent 3 shooter in the past. Those needless offensive fouls are his biggest problem... and the fact that he's forgotten how to finish.

Brown was a waste of a scholarship. We could have used another big. I would say Brown could get a medical redshirt if he was injured but we don't need any more players in next year's class.

Haith's system has been terrible for our frontcourt.

 

[TUBballJunkie]

He has just chosen not to make a single one all year?? Come on. Our offense isn't running right if Wright is patrolling the three.

And Brandon is not an issue. I amend that statement. But you never look at him and question whether he's giving his all.

 

[TUBballJunkie]

He has just chosen not to make a single wide opens one all year?? Come on. Our offense isn't running right if Wright is patrolling the three.

 

[TUBballJunkie]

DONT EVEN MESS WITH ME, RIVALS.

That out of bounds play was designed for him to be open in the corner. I think we're trying to get Wright going. We won't beat Cincy or SMU without him contributing legitimately

 

[Weatherdemon]

The crowd was very surprising!
I think everyone thought we would win and wanted to be there for it.

 

[TU_BLA]

I'm not sure Brown's RS has been burned. I don't know when his last appearance was or how many minutes a he played it it seems he last played sometime around the Islands tournament.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Doesn't matter if the firecracker was a dud, it's still blown.

 

[TU Sepp]

Today's game was an ugly win...
With that said, an ugly victory is better than a good loss...
About 40 turnovers between the 2 teams...
The only thing uglier than the play on the court were the 3 bozos that some how thought that they were referees...
This was a win this team needed!!!

 

[Barlass]

The officiating was the worst I've seen all season. Extremely inconsistent.
