DJ, Stan, FH, and Holt are leaving...I know the first 3 are on scholarship...what about Holt? Is he a walk on?

How are are graduating 4 but have 5 signed? And also, aren't they expecting Sam Craft to walk on the bball team since he's on football scholarship? That would make 6 new guys.

How do we have room for everyone? Maybe someone redshirts?

Or maybe I'm missing something?

Because Drew Barham transferred to Gonzaga (by the way they are the number one team for now!)We have an extra scholly which makes 4.

Look for one of these three to leave. Tsfack, Barton, who is graduating early and has a daughter back home, and or thomas if he can raise his stock up over the next few weeks.

After seeing you two post this I believe the most appropriate thing to do is to take your computers and pour syrup on top of your keyboard! Lol! and SMH!

You may just do that when the tigers go to the sweet 16. You heard it here first. I dont have the most knowledge of any tiger fan but I believe this will happen this yr.

Written on Tigers senior forward D.J. Stephens expected to play Saturday after asthma scare against UTEP:

That mediocre Xavier team that just beat Memphis beat that hard nosed 16th ranked St Louis team by double digits last night.

Can somebody tell me how in the world did that happen? I mean St. Louis who had dismantled VCU and Butler and the tigers last yr!

I hope that DJ has a great game, I hope Antonio gets to play, I hope that Paster lets hall and simpson start and the walk ons shoot this time.

Man! Xavier who lost 5 starters last yr and was only 17-12? Wow!

And to think that Penn St lowly Penn State who lost 14 games in a row beats Michigan? That coach needs to be run out of town.

My point is this.
Yes Pastner needs to beat a ranked team and win a few games ins the NCAA for us to be really nationally relevant again.

But he has only had 3 really bad losses since he has been here two to SMU and one to Rice a couple of yrs ago.

Maybe you can throw in the Houston loss in the CUSA tournament in 09-10 but if I remember Houston was good enough to win the CUSA tournament that yr.

So if you are going to make the argument that we have not beaten a ranked team you have to admit that we have not really had bad losses either.

This yr we will get that monkey off of our backs in the NCAA.

Look for Adonis Thomas to seriously elevate his game in CUSA and the NCAA.

Geron will rediscover his touch along with his all around game.

We may just make the sweet 16.

Written on Drama high as U of M hangs on against Miners:

You know there have been numerous upsets this yr and many bad losses by a variety of teams.

For example
Ole Miss losing to MS State
Tenn losing to Georgia
Southern Miss losing to Marshall
Michigan losing to Penn State who had lost 14 in a row?
Kansas losing to TCU
Duke getting blown out by Miami
Butler getting drilled by VCU
Texas losing to Chaminade
Kentucky losing by 30 to Tenn.
UCLA lost to Cal Poly

21st ranked Oregon lost to Utep
I said all of that to say this.

With all of the pressure for the Tigers to possibly win 30 games with the possiblity of either not getting into the NCAA or getting a low seed should they have one bad loss, with CUSA refs and hostile crowds dying to beat them

Inspite of all that we will go undefeated in our conference and possibly win 30 games.

This is an accomplishment seeing how we did not have any bad losses. Xavier was a tough loss but not a bad loss.

Another point I love DJ. He is an amazing player but the reason we did not give up any second pts last night is because he didnt play much and we had to play bigger.

I think Dj and Geron need to both come off of the bench as a major energy boost. Yes we won several games with them starting but I think that would be good.

I really wish pastner would give hall a few more minutes like he had to at marshall. We need another big body in the NCAA.

I just wish Adonis "please dont block my shot" Thomas would go to the hole like a man. Can you imagine Geron's attitude and will in Adonis's Body? That would be something!

I believe that if the tigers can get a 6 or 7 seed we can make it to the sweet 16. Just my opinion. If you really be honest our half court game has gotten better in the last month.


in response to JuliusJones:

When the NCAA tournament selection committee convenes next week in Indianapolis to do its work, there will be one vital player missing from the proceedings.

His name is Greg Shaheen, and he was the NCAA’s Mr. Bracket for the previous 12 tournaments. The 2012 Big Dance was the last waltz for the association’s former vice president of championships and alliances – essentially the man who made the tournament run and helped make it staggeringly rich via its TV deal with CBS and Turner. The NCAA forced his resignation last year, intent on moving its showcase event in a more modern (read: corporate and soulless) direction.

But even in his new existence, Shaheen’s bracket acumen remains in demand – he will be the guest star on a one-hour Big Ten Network production Monday night. Shaheen will drop selection science – both from national and Big Ten perspectives – on hosts Dave Revsine and Mike Hall on "Inside the Selection Process" at 9 p.m. ET.

Excuse me sir.

Why are you mentioning this relative to this article?

It has no relevence whatsoever!

Written on Ridgeway boys basketball team out of state playoffs:

It's sad that you can play for a team for 3 to four yrs, go to practice, make decent grades, operate in integrity, and then have another bogus teamate to keep you from reaping the rewards of your hard labor.

I think in a situation like this, the player in question should be suspended, maybe punish the team by giving them the lowest seed and make them play an away game in the sub sectionals.

If no one on the team knew about this and it was self reported then it is totally unfair to punish all of the kids who did right and rob them of their golden opportunity.

We need to stand up for the other ridgeway players and protest this.

Written on University of Memphis determined to start new streak after loss at Xavier:

If my memory serves me correctly I think we lost to xavier in a holiday tournament by 5 pts. (when cal was coaching and everybody was mad (08-09) We also lost to syracuse and georgetown and then went on a 27 game win streak.

We did beat Gonzaga by 18 but lost to missouri in the ncaa tournament.

A lot of similarity between these two teams 08-09 and 12-13. Tyreke Evans is the primary difference.

I think we can still make the sweet sixteen.
I predict a 7 seed for us if we can win out.
Remember last yr we were 25-8 with a few bad losses (two at home).

This yr we are 24-4 and can be 30 and 4 going into the tournament.

I think the negative people are overloading the effect of the xavier lost.

As somebody pointed out Mich lost to a 9-18 Penn State team that is 1-14 in the conference. And think about it, in every game this yr we were in the game in the last 5 min. we came back from double digits down to within a point or took the lead in all of our losses. That says a lot about heart and character of this team.

Heck last yr we overcame a double digit lead and beat xavier who had a much better team than we had.

Some people are just choosing the negative perspective about this.

Just saying!

Written on Tigers to put nation's longest overall and road winning streaks on line Tuesday at Xavier :

in response to mclovin:

Throwing me in with an obvious non Tiger Fan like Julius? that's rough. I guess you aren't a true Tiger fan after all. Tiger fans don't attack tiger fans like that.

Ok Im sorry.
But sometimes your comments come off like you are a UT fan who is knowledgeble about the tigers because you have season tickets to tiger basketball games.

I may be wrong. If I am I Stand to be corrected.

Written on Out of sync: Tigers fall behind early, can't rally past Xavier:

After hearing what most of you have to say I will say that there have been many good points and incorrect points about last nights game.

Here is my 2 cents:

I know pastner told his players that xavier was still a good team despite losing 5 starters and the freshmen point guard. (oh by the way Butler lost to xavier too)

But despite being told they came out flat in the beginning? I dont understand that when you have to know that everyone has a problem with the fact that our CUSA competition is weaker than most.

Its evident that we are better than last yr because we came back on the rd in a hostile crowd and almost won.

DJ: I love DJ, He is a monster athlete but he only weighs 185. He is having to go against guys
3 to 4 inches taller who weigh 30 -50 pds more.

I have notice that teams are starting to use the pump fake and are going into his body to take away his jumping ability to block shots.

He still made some big plays but the offensive rebounding numbers dont lie. We have to use Black and Shaq together. Thats why the one or two of them are getting in foul trouble.

JJ went for a steal got out of position the guard went by him and shaq got the foul. Cant happen.

Geron is a hard nosed player gifted athlete who sometimes trys for the spectacular, (That missed dunk hurt bad.) He makes too many unforced turnovers. He is tough and usually makes up for his mistakes.

We did show why we won so many games. We have quickness play defense have decent 3pt shooters, but we need to shore up our rebounding.

Im glad the streak is over that was going to be too much pressure. Its out of our system.

We almost beat minn without Joe and geron's first game back, we beat tn who beat fla, we have won rd games. We have beaten teams who ended up in the sweet sixteen at the end of the yr. So why make a big deal about not beating a ranked team when we played them?

I ask this question what is a better win xavier last yr who ended up a sweet 16 team or beating a team like Wichita State ( I know we didnt play them) who started the season ranked but were not ranked at the end of the yr?

The tigers will win in the ncaa. If they dont pastner will leave and so will some of the recruits. Geron and AT will leave this yr and we will be right back at 09-10 without a recruiter. Then all of you miserables can have your day.


in response to LiberalViewer:

(This comment was removed by the site staff.)

If what you say is true why did we beat, TN on the Rd this yr. Ohio sweet 16 from last yr, Xavier last yr sweet 16, Gonzaga on the Rd two yrs ago with freshmen by the way.

That is not a pattern. What is a pattern is that when a coach tells you everybody is good you have to believe it a play the beginning of the game like you believe it.


6 out of 17 free throws.
Worst first half play since the Bahamas.
I think the tigers underestimated them at first
made good adjustments at half time but did not make free throws to close the game out like they had done previously.

This if a tough loss that will hurt our seeding for sure. But in a way im glad we got the loss out of our system to a decent team who beat butler.

The reason I said Butler because many of you are going to say pastner loss this game coaching if you say that you have to say Stevens did too.
I think it is better to have lost to Xavier than utep or ucf or Uab.

Because we loss tonight we will not lose again.
Go ahead julius, mclovin datguy mcthomaspaine and all of you who have waited 2 months for this.

Enjoy your day!

Good Game in the second half.
Geron! Geron! How did you miss that dunk?


Correction about the Marquette Game. They were actually number 2 in the nation. and the shot was from the 5 second line. I have never seen a place go from wild cheering and screaming to deafly silence where you could hear only the visiting team and hollering.

FGeorge30 I agree with you Pastner should have allowed colemen to leave to an ovation. He stayed true to his commitment when all of the other recruits jumped ship after cal left.

I hope that Pastner would allow Stan, Hall, DJ, Charles Holt and Geron start against Uab.

I hope we win by at least 25 so the walk ons can get to shoot and score. And I believe that the standing ovation for DJ will be the loudest ever for a tiger player in history.

Regarding tonights game I believe the tigers know whats at stake and they will come out focused.

I believe Geron will have a monster game in his home state. I want Black and Adonis to have big games too. No early foul trouble please and we will win in the 8 to 10 pts range.

Written on Memphis displaying maturity, balance as it looks to extend winning streak:

I think pastner is smart to keep saying that the CUSA teams are good and well coached. The players that we have have a tendency to take teams for granted.

Last night I watched virginia almost beat the #2 Miami team at home.

We all saw TN beat down Cal by 30 pts. Now would you have thought that to be possible when they lost to Georgetown 37-36? Tulane beat Ala
Memphis only beats marshall by 1 at home.

Texas loses to a cupcake, North Caroline with a team full of All Americans lost to texas who lost to a cupcake. On a given night anybody can get hot and win.

I know Josh knows that these teams are not good but it is a good strategy to keep his players on their toes because he knows that we cant afford any slip ups. Maybe one otherwise we will be an 8 or above seed.

Everyone was critical of the St Louis loss last
yr. Turns out St. Louis is a very good team so that wasnt a bad loss technically.

The point is is not a bad move on josh to do this. It gets boring but it just maybe a way of keeping our players on their P's and Q's.

Written on University of Memphis climbing in polls, closing in on second straight Conference USA crown:

This is for Julius Jones, DaGuy, Liberal Viewer and MCS whatever,

You guys have the right to be objective, negative sarcastic or whatever. Its your computer and your account and this is a free country.

Now the reality is this. If this team can get Tarick Black to rebound and go to the rim like he did the first 5 minutes of the marshall game, and if we can get shaq to stop making silly fouls over the next 5 games, I personally think that the tigers can actually go to the sweet sixteen and maybe make the elite 8.

Now before you say that Im way offbase and a blind tiger fan, consider this,

Our starting 5 has positioned itself to the point where you cannot plan to stop one or two players,

It used to be that a junk defense could stop memphis. We actually have dependable shooting this yr, JJ, Geron, Chris, AB Adonis & Dj can all possibly make 3 threes in a game.

We have learned how to move the ball against a zone. Our transition defensive game has significantly improved because we have basically 4 guys who can run point at a given time even with periodic turnovers. When you have jj, geron and chris out on the floor you could possibly have a fastbreak on every rebound.

If we need to play physical, Tarick, Shaq and AT at 262lbs, 250lbs 240lb plus Geron and Chris at the point creates a formidable physical presence for the college game.

Dj is outta this world. No team can really prepare for what he brings to the table except they use lowdown tactics to try and undercut him like louisville did. Who else can almost get a double double in one half on a consistent basis.

Look folkes yes we are playing weak competition. Im not ignoring that. But we are not looking good just because of the competition.
It's because we have talent thats listening to the coaching. Josh still makes mistakens but when the players dial in our ball movement and defense is solid.

Final point remember when arizona beat us by 2 then destroyed Duke beat texas and went to the elite eight we didnt have half the team we have now and we were a non foul call on witherspoon's layup from beating arizona,

You can get on here a be funny looking for attention or whatever but the facts are the facts. Memphis is a good team that can beat probably anyone in the country but maybe Indiana,
Im not saying no one else cant beat them. Minnesota proved that.

But we can beat everyone else. Heck even Hall looked like a monster against Marshall(lol) and I like Wilsons slashing ability.

This yr if and when we get bottled up in a tight game we have geron, JJ or Dj who can all make big plays to turn the game around.

Now you may refute me but you are lying to yourself if you ignore what I just said.

BTW where is Kentucky in the polls?


in response to mclovin:

Personally, I don't care why we are rising in the polls, as long as we are rising. If they ranked us #1 and we were 0-25, it would be fine by me. No matter if I believe we played a cupcake schedule, , or if I believe we haven't beaten anyone in 4 years, I still want us to go as far as possible. I want us as highly ranked as we can get. I want us to have the best seed. I may not believe in CJP, but I do want him to be great. At the end of the day, I want to be wrong about CJP, and I hope I am. Btw, watching the NCAA bungle all of these investigations of major schools, kinda makes me wonder how they could possibly single out 1 player in the history of college basketball for a fake ACT. Coincidence that it only ever happened at a non bcs school?

Mclovin you keep this up we're going going to have to give you the weekly tiger spirit award!

Written on Memphis Tigers take down UCF after rising in polls, 93-71 :

in response to mclovin:

Not sour milk, just the truth. Latest Bracketology has us playing UCLA first round. So, lets say we win out, play UCLA and lose in the first round. Would this season be a success? Would you be happy with that? Would you be happy with our best win in 4 years being Southern Miss?

We will not lose in the first round this yr. It doesnt matter who we play. I wouldnt mind playing st. louis again. We would beat them the way that they beat butler.

Like I said earlier Barton who was a great college talent was very selfish in that game and it affected the team chemistry.

As you know he and chris almost came to blows in a time out.

What is interesting is in the close games that we have had have you notice nobody minded geron taking big shots, why? because he passes the ball and is not selfish.

That will make all of the difference.

We have several big shot guys on the team. Dj may not take the last shot but he might dunk the miss on a rebound.

Look I know we might have trouble with the following teams.

Michigan State

We could actually play with all of them.

I dont think we could beat Indiana because of Zeller, But it would be a good game and we wouldnt have to play them until maybe the sweet 16.

Why as a tiger fan would you rather assume that we would lose in the 1st round(game played)
Most tiger fans dont think like that.

The bible says so a man thinketh in his heart so is he. You may not believe the bible but again why think the negative?

It is not unrealistic to think that had geron not been suspended and had played the first 3 games he would have had his feet wet and we would have beaten Minnesota because Hollins would have not gotten 41 pts. Geron wouldnt have allowed that.

If we can get tarick to rebound like a man and avg a double double in 20 min like dj does then you will see the tigers make the elite 8. We need tarick to play like a man to get that far.

I think this team is as good as the 05-06 team.
Joe vs D-wash - advtge joe
Antonio as a fresh vs. Geron Advtge Geron
Carney vs. Thomas adv Carney
Shawn Williams Vs DJ Toss up
Dorsey (as a soph) vs. Shaq- Adv Dorsey
CDR, Dozier Allen,
Crawford Black, Baron, Wilson,
Advtage 12-13 version.

I know that we can have a bad game
but so can the other team.

I still say the best win was UTEP at UTEP no matter what you say. Also Gonzaga at Gonzaga, Xavier a top 16 team at home were all better than beating southern on the road.


One more comment to all the naysayers:
Im cognizant that we have beaten some cupcakes in CUSA, Cals teams did it as well.

But it is how we are playing. If memphis shoots the three with as many guys as can shoot it we are a tough out.

Also, no team in the country can prepare to stop dj stephens, because no one can simulate him.
You can knock him down undercut him and he gets up and dunk on you again.


in response to mclovin:

It looks like we are peaking at the right time. But, unfortunately we've seen this movie before, hopefully this time it will have a different ending. A loss in the first round of the NCAA Tournament means our best win in 4 years would be a road win at an unranked, non NCAA tourney, CUSA Southern Miss team. So, we can win out, go Twentysomething and 3 all we want, but anything short of a tourney win or two means we spent the last 3 months camped out at GiGi's cupcakes, eating our way into a false belief that we will still be able to run a 6 minute mile come race day. If that happens this season, like the 3 before it, will be a failure.

Dude, You are kidding me right?
Next time when you go shopping for groceries please look at the date of the milk carton so you want drink sour milk!

The reason this wont have the same ending is because will barton and witherspoon are gone.
Especially barton. He was a terrific gifted athletically awesome player but he was also a selfish player at the wrong time.

This team is more physical and well rounded. When preparing for them who are you going to stop?

Thats the difference dude, Too many weapons to have the same ending. It used to be that a matchup zone would do it not anymore. Now if by chance geron and joe and chris get in early foul trouble at the same time like in the louisville game maybe we have a problem.

One extra note.
JJ, Chris, Geron, Adonis, DJ and Antonio, when he returns can all make mupltiple 3s in a game.
They can all make big time shots. Thats the difference is this yr verses last year.

The UTEP rd win CUSA Championship was bigger and better because no one gave us a chance in that game.

Written on Tigers crack the Associated Press' Top 25 poll Monday:

Im glad about all of the tigers recent sucess.
The game that concerns me the most is Marshall on the road sat.

Marshall has good athletes. They have a pro level player in Kane. They have a good shooter in Scarver. They have good rebounders and size.
They almost beat memphis here.

We embarrassed them at their place and in the championship game. They only lost to kentucky by 2 pts so they are capable of winning.

Central Fla is a good team as well but that game is at home but we cant take nothing for granted.

I believe we can run the table if we beat marshall and we have no more injuries.

I believe that if we run the table we might can get a 4-6 seed. That will help us significantly.


You know when cal left in 09 with the recruiting class and with the way he has recruited the #1 recruiting class for 3 straight yrs I never thought I would see the day where the tigers would be ranked higher than Kentucky.

Interesting to say the least.

Written on University of Memphis basketball coach Josh Pastner uses flashcards to signal players during games :

in response to mclovin:

I have no problem with cards. I can't think of anyone else in basketball that uses them, but I don't watch assistant coaches on TV when I watch basketball. Personally,I wouldn't find it distracting as a pg to have to look over and read a number as opposed to just hearing it, but as long as the players are comfortable and are not distracted he could hold up a skunk for all I care. I do think the reason he holds up the # 14 so much is that he is letting everyone know how many minutes he plans on playing Tarik.....

If Tarik would crush people on the boards and not miss those 1 and 2 footers that he misses every game He would play more than 14 minutes.
Mclovin, at the next tiger game go up to tarick and tell him to duplicate what dj did in one half.

And you know dj stats are coming from effort because the only plays run for him are alley hoops. Maybe 2 per game but yet he scored double digits in 16 min?

I assure you that tarick would get more than 14 minutes the day he does this.

Written on Misfiring Tigers hold off SMU, 60-52, for 13th straight win:

You know maybe I was a little hard on tarick. I apologize.

However when I watch Trevor Mbakwe of Minnesota fight for rebounds I see effort and desire like a man among boys.

Black should get some Lorenzen Wright, Ronnie Robinson, and Slyvester Gray Tapes and watch how to have desire. Even Joey Dorsey finally got it.

Thats all im saying. Adonis should watch how James Harden gets to the basket when he drives.
Harden is 6-6 235 about the same size as adonis.
He doesnt always settle for floaters and you hardly ever see him fade away.

I love the tigers but sometimes its frustrating to see all of this physical talent and lack of real men intensity.

You look at how the big men in the big east rebound then you look at black it makes you say ,"why is there such a diffence in intensity?

On a different note If memphis had one player on its team right now who I tried to get to come here I think they would be a top ten team.

Who is he Ian Clark of Memphis who played at Germantown. He is the 3rd leading pct 3 pt shooter at 51 % He has made 80 out of 155 threes.
And his overall shooting pct is .577 for a guard.

He plays for belmont. He is the shooter that we desparately needed. Pastner wanted him but he had signed with belmont right before pastner got hired. He thought about changing his mind like barham did and the coach of belmont would have allowed him to do so.

He and joe had some classic battles when joe was at white station and he was at Germantown.

But being a young man of integrity he honored his committment. Boy we would have had a scholly for him at the time. But so goes life!


in response to mclovin:

No, you are not right. It doesn't matter what it looks like, the numbers don't lie. They actually suggest that Tarik plays harder than Shaq, less minutes same stats. Would you have a problem with your coach if you got benched for no reason and he told the media it was your attitude and effort while the supposed star player kept playing and starting even though his lack of effort was obvious? Of course you would. Remember Blacks attitude came after he was losing minutes not before. You actually just admitted to a double standard. AT should keep playing just because he doesn't talk back, not based on performance, while Black should be benched because he stands up for himself, because he knows he is producing.

So we don't want leaders on the team, we want people who coast and underperform? Is that what you are saying?

Tarik is not playing as hard as shaq.
Tarik started and did not produce to the level that he should have. He should have been averaging more rebounds. He should not have been making so many fouls. Shaq fouls a lot but he is a freshman.

Im going to end this coversation with you. You seem to an intelligent tiger fan. But we are going to disagree on this. I know basketball and effort and intensity is the problem with black and thomas.

Adonis has been taken out of games for lack of production at times. He didnt lose his starting position because he didnt protray a bad attitude.
He was replaced by geron and then chris late in games for several games.

When black produces he plays. But you dont walk out of practice. You dont sulk on national tv.
All he has to do to get back in good graces with the coach is put together 3 double doubles. If he has to do it in 16 minutes, or playing one half like dj. by offensive rebounding, putbacks etc. If he does that He will be back in good graces with pastner.


in response to mclovin:

Just a couple of questions about your post:

If Adonis is playing like you say (and I don't think anyone would argue that) then why has he started all season? He's averaging 28 mins a game (2nd most) FG% is 40% 3pt is 25%. 11 pts a game and 4 rebounds a game and 1.8 assts. He's taken 218 shots this season, by far the most on the team. Crawford was benched, but he is the better defender and he averages 26 mins. He shoots better from 3, rebounds are about the same, but he gets 2 steals a game and 3 assists. I am not suggesting lineups, but Thomas has started every game, Crawford got benched. Its inconsistent.

Now, lets look at Tarik. According to you Adonis and Tarik both put forth the same amount of effort. But, Tarik gets benched, Adonis keeps starting and playing. Tarik's minutes have been going down, but he's averaging 19.1 minutes 9.1 points 5.0 reb while shooting 61% from the field. Shaq plays 3 more minutes a game, but their TB's and Shaq's stats are very similar, except for the fact Shaq has take 31 more shots to average 8.6 points per game. Now, this is not anything against Shaq, but to show TB is doing just as much as Shaq is, but in less minutes. TB is in the dog house, but Adonis is untouchable. Also, btw TB's minutes are down 7 minutes a game from last year but his rebounds per game is actually up. His points per game are down by 1, but he's playing 7 less minutes a game. So why does Adonis continue to start and play major minutes, while Tarik's minutes continually go down? Tarik's not really struggling, if he is so is Shaq.
I can't speak for everyone else, but my problem with CJP because he is wildly inconsistent. Player's get benched for personal reasons, not production under CJP. Players don't respect that, they don't respond to that. We all know that CJP reads boards, and is overly sensitive to outside comments. Is it a stretch to say he would be amongst the team as well? I don't think so. Tarik's problem is not production. Why make excuses for CJP? Its his team, his players. He's coached most of them for 3 years, he's developed them. The fact that you would solely blame the players and not blame a coach that by everyone's admission is still learning is odd.

Look Mclovin
Say what you want you are refusing to see the attitudes among the memphis players.

When have you seen dj miss a dunk maybe one or two in his career. Black has missed 10 or more bunnies every yr he has played.

Adonis keeps starting because he has not show the coach an attitude like black and jj did.
Jj corrrected his. Black has not.

There is no excuse for him not scoring last night.
Even with the junk defense he could have gotten an offensive rebound put back and not miss those bonnies or chippies as some call them.

I agree that he and shaq have similiar numbers but when you look at them play who looks like they are trying the hardest?

My point exactly.

Even if there is a problem with pastner black could shut him up by getting 10 rebounds in 15 minutes like dj did and force pastner to play him.

Dj forced pastners hand by flat foot playing.

You will forever blame pastner but I am right.


This may be a little arrogant. But my earlier post about black and thomas is whats wrong with the tigers.

Some of you are blaming pastner and coaching.
Thats crap.

These two guys play like pretty boys sometimes when they should be dominating CUSA.

If pastner is at fault for this why does dj and geron fight like they do? Im sure pastner tells them what not to do and what to do.

Black and Thomas are intelligent guys. They have to know when they are given the effort.
They are the two along with the speed of JJ that can give us an advantage over every team that we play.

They have to play harder. You might say pastner is not getting the most out of them. Well if I went from a projected lottery pick to not being mentioned on NBA draft boards my college coach would not have to tell me nothing. I would start off by being the most aggressive rebounder. I would try to tear down the rim if i was 2 feet from the basket. I would drive in and not shoot a floater.

Does DJ shoot a floater? or when have you seen him miss from 2 ft? Never because he dunks with authority and he only weighs 190 pds if that.

So all of you pastner haters can analyze all you want to. And you can ignore what im saying but I am dead on point with this team. Pastner cannot dunk the ball or drive in. And if you say they should sit on the bench I will say to you that takes away our physical advantage that we have.

So there you have it tiger fans our season will go the way thomas and black go. And the two of them know this. Why they dont perform up to their physical abilities is beyond me.

Both of them should get at least 8 rebounds a night. Dj got 13 in 16 min.

Larry Finch once got mad at 7ft Todd Mundt who played with no heart and did not get one rebound in a game and Finch said, "If you lay a dead man out at the free throw line even he would get 1 rebound!"

This is what will separate memphis from cusa and this is what will determine if we get to the sweet 16. Im not a pastner lover or hater but we need to look at where the real problem is. It is the some of the memphis players attitude.

Heck even hall plays agressive.

Got that off my chest and I feel better


Ok folks. Words to the wise.
From this point moving forward let's stop responding to julius jones.

Its a waste of time. He is probably some high school kid who parents attended an sec school and just hates the tigers.

So let him post. This is America and we do have freedom of speech but lets not have a dialog with him. To do so puts us in the same category.

Now from an ojective point of view. We were fortunate to win last night. And we need to play better offensively.

Somebody needs to get in black's and thomas's face and command that they bring effort the way DJ does. Geron irks me with the way he can lose a basketball ball but at least he makes up for it with heart and is not afraid to take and make big shots.

Man if God had allowed me to be 6-9 262 or 6-7 240 with the ablilities of those two I would be a monster.

If adonis shoots another fade away!!!
If Black misses another layin right at the Goal!!!

For all of you that want to blame pastner for those two you are wrong.

They should have memphis pride for themselves to play harder. They have NBA potential that they are throwing down the toilet. Pastner should not have to say one word to them about the fact that we have not beaten a top 25 team or won one game in the NCAA. They should take that personally and go get the job done.

Black had better be ready Sat because Jonathan Mills of Southern Miss is a hungry player and will eat him alive if he plays soft.

Saturday look for this to happen. JJ , DJ Chris, and AB to play well. The Tigers will win by 4-6 pts.

Written on Tigers eager to avenge their two straight losses at SMU's Moody Coliseum :

in response to JuliusJones:

ESPN Bracketology has Memphis as a 11 seed and Southern Miss as a 12 seed.

Not knowing what is in their algorithm, I'd guess there's a weighting for winning CUSA and both teams benefit from that. Problem is, ... there's only going to be one winner of CUSA.

If Memphis doesn't win CUSA, I don't believe they get an invite to the Big Dance. I believe Southern Miss will take the CUSA championship, and the associated dance ticket!

Of course, if they lose tonight they're out anyway. This SMU team has spanked Tiger bottoms the last two times at home, and just may do it again.

Ok sir.

If we are going to go by the experts then they are predicting that memphis will win CUSA based upon seeding them 11th and So. Miss 12.

The primary reason that memphis will beat southern is because there is not one man to stop to beat the tigers.

Any one of these guys could go off

last yr they were able to sort shut down barton.
This yr we have proven that without joe tarick geron or adonis we can still win. So they cannot key on one guy.

That is what will propel the tigers.
Listen Julius if you have a day job please dont quit it to go into analyzing games because your predictions and analytical abilities leave a lot to be desired.

Just stick with playing on the computer ok?

Written on Tigers junior guard Geron Johnson 'thirsty' to do more for Memphis :

in response to mclovin:

51, I didn't watch the game either. Its basketball, its conference play, things happen when you play in a good conference, and the A10 is a good conference. I doubt very seriously the Tigers will make it thru CUSA undefeated, not because of CJP, that just the nature of conference play. What I will tell you is the Stevens is a great coach. In his first 4 years He's been to 2 title games with Butler, not Indiana, not Purdue, not Notre Dame, but Butler. Butler is behind all those teams as far a recognition, branding, etc..
I understand where you are trying to go, and I respect your opinion, no matter how many times you bash me or question my being a fan. But, the difference between Butler losing last night, and us is light years. You could say last night for Butler was a hiccup, or a clunker. Why? because we know what they do, and accomplish. They've beat great teams this year, Indiana, Gonzaga. They've beat traditional powers this year UNC. That's just this year. The difference between us and them is that we've only played at high level twice this year, Louisville and Ohio. Our norm is to struggle against less talented teams, that's who we are, that's what we do. Us beating a good team would be out of the ordinary under CJP, it would be the exception and not the rule. Stevens has turned Butler into a National Power, and it took him two years to do it. Now, when they lose to a St. Louis, its shocking. When we lose to a St. Louis, its kind of expected. We've been on the verge of losing to one those type of teams all year.
Being a Tiger, I would love to say we could beat Butler, we certainly have the talent. But, if I had to bet, I would go all in on Butler winning that game. Butler teams don't beat themselves, they play defense like its life and death, and they compete harder than any team in the country.
I'm a real Tiger fan too, like it or not. Very, few of you have answered the survey, but that's ok, I know what the answer would be for most everybody, and I understand why you don't want to answer on here.

You missed my point.
We have always had a rough time with st louis just like we have always had a rough time with southern miss. regardless who was the coach.

Why would you be shocked that st louis won?
They played michigan state tough the game after us.

Oh I get it memphis was just supposed to beat a 9th seed because they were an 8th seed?

I beg to differ I believe we will go undefeated in CUSA this yr.

Everybody thinks the tough game will be southern.

Because they play up tempo that will help us and joe, geron dj and chris.


in response to JuliusJones:

Didn't see the game. In any event, I'll ask Brad about it next time I see him.

For a tiny school, I'd say they have already earned a ticket to the big gig.

Do you realize Butler has beat 3 TOP 10 teams already this year??? Memphis hasn't even played one.

Did you know they have the 26th toughest schedule in all of college basketball??

This is a little "off topic", ... I have a little tip for you. You'd likely be more credible if you could spell more words correctly, and use good grammar. (No charge for the advice.)

Did you just type "has beat"?
If my memory serves me correctly it should be:
"has beaten"

When I'm typing, just like most people on these posts, I'm not trying to be grammatically correct.

I'm here to express my opinion.

So here is a tip for you.

Next time you want to rebuke somebody for errors you should use spellcheck. I dont have to.

My minimal errors does not destroy my credibility. I'm comfortable with my educational acheivements in life.

Oh by the way, When we played Louisville they were #6 Minnesota got up to #8 or 9.

Shame on you for misrespresenting the facts.

Go have a conference with your brother .001% Fgeorge30 (pct represents accuracy on his and your part)


Mclovin and fgeorge30 and Julius Jones

I would like for the 3 or you to explain what adjustments Brad Stevens didnt make that caused
Butler to lose to those pesky unranked Billikens last night by 17.

You know those were the same guys that used to give bartow, yates, kirk, finch defeats at the wrong time back in the day.

You know those same St. louis guys that actually defeated one of cals teams in a closed door scrimage during the cdr years.

Those same St. Louis guys who beat pastner, who cant coach.

I want you three Hall of Fame NCAA coaches to tell me why couldnt Stevens who beat Indiana, beat this same St. Louis team that caused people to want to fire pastner?

Matter of fact it was double digits practically the whole game! Did Butler committ the unpardonable sin of taken them lightly? Or was the very cerebral Stevens, you know that "Heady Clean Cut Coach didnt have any adjustments in his vast play book to overcome an unranked team?

Surely the Great Brad Stevens's team doesn't make those type of mistakes like Tarick Black and the Tigers do.

I guarantee you that if the Tigers played Butler we would win by 10 easily. Why? Joe Jackson would blow by Ronei Clark. And Geron Johnson would destroy the other guard.

Ok enough of the sarcasm. It's called matchups!

And thats what happened to memphis just like it did when Harry Rodgers and St. Louis Beat Finch Kenon and Robinson in 72-73. You know that yr that we went to the Championship game with our great coach The Late Gene Bartow.

From a real tiger fan!
Fgeorge30, If you think that you are 99.99% right then your brain is functioning at .001 %! lol!


Im glad josh took a chance on this kid and dj stephens. where would we be without them.

Oh by the way, we hear a lot of people criticizing josh for the way he coached in the
St. Louis Game How Majarus took us out of what we do.

We also hear how great a coach Brad Stevens is.
And I think he is a great young coach.

With that being said someone tell me how Butler ranked 9th lost to unranked St. Louis by 17? Is it that the Butler players werent listening to the coach or did St. Louis cause them problems like they did us?

Just wondering? I know we are not on the same level with butler so maybe I shouldnt compare.

But it proves that any team can win on any night.

I think Josh knows what he is doing. When the players start totally listening to him and stop pouting when they are not getting the job done (aka, Black, Barton, and JJ last yr then we will see the real Memphis Tigers.

One thing about crawford, he did not pout when he went thru his slump and lost his starting position. I respect him for that and I also respect hall for trying to change his attitude.

in response to mclovin:

I am here to admit that along with other so-called negative posters on this board, that I DarthMclovin has an agenda. No, that is to mild of a word, we in fact are planning a conspiracy. We come on here every day, especially after subpar performances and attack CJP for one sole purpose. We want your guns. Not just your rifles, but your hand guns as well. Why? its simple, we want to take over the world. What better way to do that, than go after CJP? See, if we attack CJP with the left hand you won't know what the right his doing. See, the left hand is thunder, but the right hand is lightning, if they both hit ya, its going to be frightening. So, there it is, I admit it. I'm guilty as charged. But, don't think because I let you in on our plan, that you can stop it. The world will be mine, I mean ours, one Pastner at a time.......

You have got to be kidding me right?
Are you the same guy who gave me several tiger situations that only a tiger fan would know about a month ago as Mclovin?

Why are you tripping with this immature name?
Why go from an intelligent objective poster to a clown?

Jealousy doesnt become you so cut this out dude or maam which ever you are.

Written on University of Memphis still struggling with turnovers:

Another point.

We only have 3 losses. to top 15 teams.
Top 15 teams. And I believe we would be two of them if we played them tomorrow.

So as of right now we are in a better position. We have improved. Even the announcers from one of our previous games pointed to our signficant improvement since the bahamas.

The the situation with black tells the story.
He is indicative of what some of our issues have been.

Im glad josh allowed him back. We need him and he knows it. But shaq was outplaying him and so was dj. If chris continues to improve and black rebounds, and if Adonis would drive to the hole and dunk on somebody as opposed to shooting those sissy fade away floaters maybe this team could do some damage.

And I know pastner has told him to do that.

Written on University of Memphis still struggling with turnovers:

It is really amazing to read where people would call another person a fool for their opinion.

The bible says that a "Fool" has said in his heart that there is no God".

So that's my definition of a Fool.

Now with that being said I personally would like to see the tigers play better. But I dont attribute careless turnovers to bad coaching.

I think players make careless turnovers. I think players underestimate if a pass is going to reach their intended target. I think players miss free throws. I think players get big leads then relax just like the Grizzlies do.

I think players reach on defense after being told not to gamble by the coach.

My point is this, the memphis city players have heard all of you unauthorized coaches say that pastner cant coach. They have not respected josh the way the out of town players have. Especially this yr.

When you look at how DJ, Geron and Shaq play its totally different than some of the memphis city players. Which is why cal didnt recruit them.

I dont think pastner should have recruited as many memphis players. He should have recruited some maybe 2 or three. Because these guys listen to these unauthorized coaches and think that Pastner doesnt know what he is doing.

Pastner is not ignorant. He has us in a respectable spot. I remember when we played kansas in the 9-10 yr with the holdovers and elliot williams and took kansas who was ranked # 1 at the time to a last second shot and lost.

Back then everyone thought that we had found a good young coach. On that team you know who quit that yr because of lack of respect for the coach? Pierre Niles!

Josh beat Mark Few at Gonzaga, who went to the third round that yr and was ranked at the end of the yr. We beat sweet 16 xavier, sweet 16 ohio,
So this crap about no top 25 wins is crap.

If memphis is not a top 25 team now what difference would it make if we beat a top 25 team then they fell out of the rankings later in the yr? Nothing because the Selection Committee is going to base their selection on the lastest results.

We will just have to beat an 8 or 9 seed and another number 1 seed to get to the sweet 16.

But all of this nonsense about Pastner this and that seems to be about jealousy more than basketball.

Call me a fool I will call you one!
No you are not a fool unless you dont believe in God.

Now, here's a couple of very well coached teams playing tonight.

Gonzaga, Butler meet again, this time on ESPN's 'GameDay'

By Bud Withers
Seattle Times staff reporter

Gonzaga @ Butler,
8 p.m., ESPN

A generation ago, a midseason basketball game between Gonzaga and Butler wouldn't have elicited more than a line in newspapers' tiny agate type under "scores."

It could hardly have worked out better for "GameDay," which catches the eighth-ranked Zags at 17-1, the best start in GU history, and No. 13 Butler at 15-2 and riding a 12-game winning streak.

Referring to Butler coach Brad Stevens, Few said this week, "We just talked: 'We should play sometime.' Him being like he is, and me like I am — well, it's done."

Not far beyond the obvious story line of the two programs' success — Gonzaga's streak of 14 straight NCAA tournaments and Butler's back-to-back title-game appearances in 2010 and 2011 — is the angle of the two coaches who have stayed put to make that happen. Combined, their chances to move to BCS-conference programs would number in double digits.

Stevens told USA Today recently, "You have an administration, athletic director, president, staff, students and coaching staff all with the same goals and ideas of what makes this experience unique and special. We have that here. Don't know that that's everywhere."

Stevens, 36, in his sixth season as head coach, might have taken a bit of Few's counsel during courtships by bigger schools during Butler's amazing 2010-11 run.

"We talk every once in a while," says Few. "We talked a little bit when he had some decisions (to make). He's a great guy, an even better person than he is a coach."

The cuddly-underdog theme doesn't apply to the teams' front lines. Gonzaga sometimes plays two 7-footers at once, and Few calls Butler "probably the most physical team you can play. It really comes down to your guys not getting frustrated.

"They probably do a better job than anybody of frustrating teams. And they're absolutely terrific at executing what they want to execute, and then you start defending a certain way, and there's a counter."

Stevens told The Indianapolis Star the "GameDay" appearance is a "bucket list" event. It's the first Butler game at Hinkle Fieldhouse — opened in 1928 and site of the filming of "Hoosiers" — featuring top-15 teams.

Butler won't be overawed. Under Stevens, the Bulldogs have beaten five top-10 teams, including then-No. 1 Indiana last month.

Gonzaga chartered to Indianapolis on Friday after a comfortable 71-49 win at Portland on Thursday night in which Few seemed to be mindful of keeping players fresh. Zags starters played 115 minutes, reserves 85.

Excuse me Mr. Julius,

If my memory serves me correctly one of the well coached teams that you mentioned was gonzaga.

I believe when we last played them on their floor in Washington AB hit a game winning shot and or free throw to win at gonzaga.

Now I also remember we started 4 freshmen that game. Pastner outcoached Few.

Just wanted to give a little balance to your memory.

Have a nice day.

You are certainly entitled to whatever private, religious beliefs that you choose to hold. But you are not entitled to impose your private, religious beliefs onto others. And that is what many people in this country are doing; they are imposing their private, religious beliefs onto homosexuals, their friends and their families. Denying homosexuals the same legal recognition of marriage that is currently enjoyed by heterosexuals is unjust and immoral.

I didnt impose anything on you I just simply gave you my understanding of the bible as it relates to generational curses.

I was very diplomatic in my approach because I am cognizant of how anyone who opposes the homosexual agenda is looked upon as homophobic.

You cannot deny what I said about the medical questionaire process. You can say that I am wrong and thats ok. This is America.

But this is exactly the problem with America. It has gotten to the point where The leaders of America in many instances have turned away from the principles of God's Word.

Freedom of Speech freedom of Religion leads to freedom to sin. When and however we want to.
And all have sinned so Im not trying to be holier than thou.

But the question is if your sin is pointed out to you will you repent?
I make an effort to repent when my sins are brought to my attention by the Spirit of God and the Word of God.

Just like you have the freedom of speech and freedom of religion you also have the freedom to repent.

The question is will that happen?
Let me also say this all sin must be repented for and covered otherwise there are serious eternal consequences.

With that being said: 1st John 1:9 says
If we confess our sin God is faithful and just to forgive our sin and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Written on National Cathedral to perform same-sex weddings :

in response to DeadPoet2:



Dead poet with all due respects to your position on this issue let me say yes I believe that homosexuals can be born a homosexuals.

But the reason this happens is because of generational sins.

Exodus 20:5 says that the sins of the father can be visited or transferred down to the 3rd and 4th generation.

The medical profession supports this whenever you walk into a doctors office and fill out a health questionaire.

We are asked if there is anyone in our family who has had a history of diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer etc. Why do they ask this question if certain sicknesses are not hereditary?

Sicknesses were transferred into the earth as a result of sin. If Adam and Eve had not disobeyed God then we wouldnt even be having this discussion and there would be no sicknesses.

Galatians 3 tells us that Jesus Christ came to redeem us from the curse of sin. If you refuse to see this then you will not understand my perspective. And thats ok. It is not my job or intent to change your way or thinking or understanding.

Additionally why do alcohic fathers sometimes have alcoholic children when the children have not tasted alcohol until they are grown?

My point is this hereditary health issues come from somewhere. They just dont happen.
Sin issues are hereditary too that's why we have to be responsible and careful how we live.

So with all of that said I believe that the reason that a person can be born gay is because of the sins of the father, grandfather, great grandfather and etc. And Im not just saying that the father committed a gay act it can be as a result of any sexual sin.

All Satan needs is a legal door. But that same person can be free by the power of the name and blood of Jesus if they want to.

I have a relative who has experienced this change. And one thing about a personal testimony it can be doubted on every hand by everybody, but to the person who is set free by the power of God they know what they have been delivered from and nothing or nobody's opinion will change their minds.

If you feel that the bible is outdated and irrevalent or if my interpretation is not right more power to you. It does not alter what I believe and know to be true. And I understand that what I say will not alter what you feel is right.

So there you have it!

Geron went to the FT line on purpose because he is a better ft shooter. They tried to trick the refs. It would have been a smart play if it had worked. Thankfully Chris made the free throws.

DJ had the Ut players altering their shots. He is incredible.

Adonis showed flahes of what he can become.
Crawford came out his shell

Joe was an assassin. Great. Game
Antonip made big shots.

Geron johnson is a man with heart. He has that refuse to lose attitude.

Give the guy his props. He had a great game plan both offensively and defensively.
