Memphis In-Game Thread

Go back to the zone defense--and nice to get a hoop there--needed that. Terribly disappointed with Roy right now--you can't give the ball to a guy who is bumbling/stumbling around--he's not being strong--as Bilas pointed out. I like the big man's skill--and he's got to be on the court--but he's got to find a way to make plays in a game like this. He's received some passes he should've gathered and scored--and he's not even gotten a shot due to his poor balance or not catching the ball--Dorsey is bumping him and being tougher--Roy's got to respond.

The lineup I want rest of this game--Roy, Pat, Dajuan, Austin/Sapp and Wallace.

Roy is a liability on both ends right now, and man are we getting humiliated on the boards.

[Oh My!]

If we maintain our discipline, we are likely leading this game. What happened to the discipline?

This is type of game this team needs--they have got to get something out of Hibbert-he's playing like a Frosh--and to be honest a STIFF. I love Roy--he's going to have numerous great games rest of season--but this is type of game he's got to do something--and he's not only non existent on offense--he's doing nothing on defense--letting a 6'8 kid shoot 8 footers and backing away isn't going to get it done--go out and make them shoot from outside.

You can't win the Big East, BET, or anything in NCAA tournament if you can't shoot FT's or rebound.

Right now they have 15 offensive boards and we have 13 defensive. Horrendous.

yeah, roys a disappointment. i think the physical strength of memphis is tough to handle and not apparent to the viewers. you have to either be equally as strong or hyper athletic.

memphis has made good adustments on defense. lets hope we can find a way to pull this out. i think it depends on the 3.

they are increasing their lead even now and its tough for us to come back like this. this sux.

[HometownHoya]

There we go Roy, keep goin

[1984alloveragain]

FINALLY! GO ROY!

Well, we can stop worrying about being "scary good" for a while. We've got plenty of work to do.

[azarin]

1. They took Jon down on that 2 on 1, no call.
2. DaJuan's having some trouble with his free throws...

[HoyaFanNY]

we're on our way to a 20+ point loss. we didn't match their intensity even slightly this entire half. every memphis possession is either an offensive rebound, layup, or a foul. just a miserable performance.

[youngjeezy]

we absolutely deserve to lose given this second half. embarrassing.

[azarin]

Well, better now than in March...

[DanMcQ]

This has been one of the most SOFT efforts by this team in several years.

LOTS to fix.

[hoya95]

Really didn't want to get embarrassed like this. But it's just a question of how you respond to it.

[hoya9797]

Unless JT can coach defensive rebounding and free throw shooting, this team is going nowhere.

[Filo]

Sad how can you look so forward to a game for so long and then not even want to watch it. Our boys got completely schooled in this one. I mean Memphis is good, but they're not that good. Back to the drawing board, fellas...

i mean, it's early enough in the year that i think that might be a little stretch. we're playing the (soon-to-be)#1 team in the country and we get better as the months go on every year.
