Who said this? Not a soul on this board thinks either Lawson is close to NBA ready.

Worst ever performance perhaps yes.
but...a few weeks ago team was at 18-7 and looking way up from the prior few seasons...although still a good step short of the 11-14 seasons.

A few agonizing losses, now adding in a bad loss at Cindy and today's hideousness has brought it all down...but would still compartmentalize it.

Get heads right...blow out USF, then try and do something sweet. Four point loss to these guys last game. See if the staff can get these kids back.

Great post!

NOT declaring a win, although I do wanna see us COMPETE on a higher level!!!!!

a must win for a team that has no shot at an at large bid?

a team that would have been 10-19 under boy wonder is playing the #14 team in the nation on the road and it is a must win?

Are you drunk?

Brilliant assessment

It is called playing for Memphis High school coaches. Fundamentals are not taught by most of Memphis high school coaches. You cannot break them of bad habits in one year. It has been this way for years. Why do you think Coach Cal did not recruit Memphis that much.

Bingo! Winner!

Oh, yes indeed the inference was made by several posters. I questioned the recruiting service's validity in terms of listing KJ's potential as a 4* recruit during the Tulane game. The comments about his NBA potential are comical.

Add a couple of personal fouls for Tacko, too.

There are no "must wins" for Tubby.
