Lomax appears to lose situational focus too often and tries to make spectacular plays when a simple one is called for. Harris is too tiny to play physical basketball when it’s called for. But, man, I love his shooting ability (when he’s hitting) and his grit in doggedly taking a charge.

If he's on tonight he can be invaluable in certain situations.

Tigers 78. Ponies 70

It’s so ridiculous this tournament is in effing Fort Worth. FFS.

Lester is the key tonight, especially on the defensive end of the floor on Davis, who is a legit star.

Wonder if the fix is in from the AAC given we are a lock and a win here would most likely get SMU on the right side of the bubble

I'd love nothing more than to crush them and send into the NIT.

Over under on the number of times the announcer says it is hard to beat a team three times in a season?

(typically it’s not, because usually the better team has the first two wins…it should be hard for SMU to beat Memphis three times because they are not demonstrably better, if they do, more power to them they should be in the NCAA)

Ike want's the Tigers to continue Bustin the Trey Ball

All season memphis used a Nike basketball (@ usf , used an adidas)

All the conference tournaments and the ncaa tournament
Are using a Wilson basketball

Any thoughts ?

7 assists and 3 turns last night. That lob to Minot would have been an assist it he were tossing it to Duren.

I too like Timberlake. He has done well in spot minutes of late. Goes strong to the goal with the ball.

We gotta score more than in the 60's...

That is why have lost to SMU...Because we struggle to score.

The ball looked bright orange on TV and found it's way into the basket often for us. I liked it.

There is not a soul on this planet that Alo's lob would have been a dunk for. And I am not ragging on him, I thought he played really well overall last night.

However, I have noticed all season he tosses lobs for showtime finishes instead of conversions. He has missed a ton of lobs this season throwing them 15' and 16' feet in the air instead of at the rim. It is almost like he is shooting it with arch and that really seems to mess the timing up.
