Memphis 1/15

[Robert]

I have no problem with Moore getting playing time, but he and DeBerry should not be on the floor together under any circumstances. Neither are quick enough or aware enough on defense to rotate properly. Also, starting to get frustrated with our guards not looking for our bigs coming off the pick and roll. It's there, but our guards can't seem to lose their cool on the double team instead of keeping their head up. Mostly though, it's our defense that's killing us tonight. Bad rotations, bad box-outs, lack of awareness. Lackadaisical in general.

Paging KJ. paging Ellis. Paging Tobler?

I agree Robert

Why can't Troy have a 12+ shot night? He has passed up some open jumpers.

Why? The bigs have turned it over 11 times this game. Why would anybody want to give it to them down there.

Gary Clark was +6 in the first half, Quadri Moore was -13

It's been a problem all season. I agree our bigs aren't playing great tonight though.

This. Says everything you need to know. Good find.

Added to the list of Memphis players I hate: Kedren Johnson

 

[cincrulz11]

Look how much better we look with the correct players out there. Then Ellis does a bad foul, sigh.

 

[CanadianBearcat]

God these refs are calling it one way its a farce. The number of over the backs, travels and pushes from Memphis is beyond belief.

 

[jacobkdoyle]

Ellis and DeBerry are really hurting us tonight.
And Moore* -13 in 1 half is awful.

I loved the elbow hook on the last Memphis lay-up, as blatant as you could make it.

 

[CanadianBearcat]

another missed call and they get a three god

 

[GuyfromNKY]

Hell of a play by Troy. Very impressed with his recent improvement.

 

[Mcginnjw]

We have to get out of the full court D....Giving up way to many easy buckets at the rim.

 

[UCalum08]

Nichols does it all. Where would Memphis be without him? I can't believe we are only down by a few points with how many turnovers and missed layups we have had.

He cannot pass up shots. He's gotta be the guy who scores 18 sometimes.

He's the best player in this game and it's not even close. Ellis can be that kind of player too, but he's got to be smarter on defense.

Nichols is way more polished around the rim offensively.
