Very very untimely technical foul on Hurley in OT.

Former Baylor Bear Dain Dainja with 14 ponts on 70% shooting from the field and 5 rebounds for Memphis.

It sucked getting blitzed by Tenn and Zags....but UConn would probably trade with us right about now

Thank goodness the assistant coach could hold the little Chihuahua back

UConn has become a must win or the panic button can't get bigger.

After watching UConn the past couple of days doesn't it look like we can roll them by double digits? It will probably be a high scoring NBA like game since neither team can play a lick of defense but it's looking like we could win by 8 to 12 at least.

According to everyone on the board after Tennessee we were getting rolled by UConn by 50.

What changed?

UConn losing back to back games

UConn is definitely winnable but we cannot take them for granted. Yes, they lost 2 games against good teams on a neutral court. We will play them at Storrs, not an easy place to play.

It's a true road game. Regardless of results in Maui we're headed to Storrs as underdogs and rightfully so. Still think we lose. But as usual I'd gladly take being way off on that prediction

Actually, Dan Hurley is more like Elton John (small, balding, diva attitude) when he isn't dressed up like KM.

He's got the comparison right - they have both won multiple national championships, something that very few other coaches will ever sniff.

How do you think they view this one? At home, they will be giving their best game of the year by far, you can guarantee it. They lack a little of the offensive talent they've had the last few years. Also losing their bigs to anchor the middle has impacted their D. They aren't nearly as good as the last two years, but they will improve and it will be extremly hard on the road.

We've been embarrassed by the two best team's we've played, and barely survived St. Johns who is quickly proving to not be that good of a team. How should we view it as anymore if not more desperately than them. If our guys have something to prove it's got to show up.

You're preaching to the choir. I just know Hurely's staff is obsessive and relentless. They will be ready. If I was to bet on it, they will be more ready than we are. I agree it should be total desparation out there but Bu hasn't been that for several seasons now. Would be huge if they did come out with crazy energy though.. I just can't deny reality and expect it.

We have seen more parody in college football this season. Are we going to be seeing it in basketball also?

Yeah I agree with you although I'm not sure preparation is enough to get us over the hump, I just think the roster is flawed

Reminds me of "the craziest day in college basketball" a few years ago:

"Saturday February 26, 2022 very well may have been the craziest day in college basketball history. For the first ever, every team ranked in the top six lost. In addition, seven of the top ten ranked teams lost on the same day for the first time ever."

UConn gets curbstomped by Dayton, loses all 3 games in Maui and finishes last place.

Their D is worse than anything we threw out on the floor the past couple of years.
