Posted January 14, 200917 yr comment_11136 Memphis' 1,000+ day streak of not losing a conference game continues. Tulsa was winning by 1 point with 4.5 seconds left. Memphis had to go the entire length of the court. They did it and made a layup as the buzzer sounded. Thus Memphis won 55-54 to continue thir streak. During the past three seasons COMBINED they lost 1 sole game and that one was a close loss on the road to UAB. UAB nearly beat us last year again and we play them this Saturday also. They probably would love to beat us again since they are the last conference team to get the job done.
January 18, 200917 yr Author comment_11153 Ths streak is now 46. It ties UNLV for the second longest conference win streak in NCAA hisroy. UCLA won 50 straight. So we need to win only 5 more conference games in a row to set that all time record. A week from now we go out of conference to play at Tennessee.
February 12, 200917 yr Author comment_11218 51 in a row. If we don't lose another conference game this year we will be in second place, 3 wins behind the all time best conference streak which was by Kentucky in the SEC decades ago. Also Duke got hammered by North Carolina last night and Wake Forest lost AGAIN. Two straight weeks those teams lost. So if Memphis wins Saturday they should jump them both and be possibly in the top 5 depending on how other teams do.
February 18, 200917 yr Author comment_11224 Going for 53 later today. I wa sjust looking at the odds and it randomly popped in ym head that the odds would be 26 and that is exactly what they are! Michigan State got blown out today, so next week we will be top 5 on BOTH polls as long as we win on my birthday.
March 4, 200917 yr Author comment_11270 Going for 57 later tonight. Tonight's game is the last conference game which we have a chance at all of losing this year unless something odd happens. After this game we play no more road conference games. We have 1 home one and then the conference tourney is also at home. We SHOULD go into the ncaa tourney with a 31-3 record. For the past 4 years we are now 130-13.
March 5, 200917 yr Author comment_11273 57. One home game remaining and then three games in the conference tourney and we would end the year only 2 or 3 away from the all time record.
March 7, 200917 yr Author comment_11278 Memphis officially capped off their third straight undefeated conference season. They were only up by 3 points with around 11-12 minutes left and then exploded to win by a whopping 27 and cover their spread!
March 14, 200916 yr Author comment_11305 The streak is at 60. Championship at 10:30 AM my time Saturday. We also are the first team this season with 30 wins, as we were lasts eason also. Our seniors have now officially won more games than any, yes ANY players in the history of basketball! Also memphis became the first tewam ever to win 30+ for 4 straight seasons and calipari the first coach to achieve that. UCLA was upset, so the only way UCLA will tie our new record for 4 straight 30 win seasons is if they get all the way to the national championship game. Some say we can still get a #1 seed and some don't.
March 15, 200916 yr Author comment_11308 Well this topic can stay dead for another half a year as Memphis ended their conference seasonw itht he streak still going at 61 now. Next year 3 wins ties the all time record and 4 beats it.
March 16, 200916 yr Author comment_11310 Actually another streak I heard: Memphis is the only team ever to have 25 game winning streaks in 3 straight seasons. Unlike past years, though, we're actually entering the ncaa tournament while IN our big winning streak still. If we win the national championship we will end the season with 31 straight wins and would finish 37-3. Last year we set the record with 38 wins, so if we were to win it all this year we would miss our record by only 1. It's pretty pathetic we didn't get a #1 seed, but we got the top #2 seed so even if we had gotten the #1 the ONLY difference would have been we would have been on the opposite side of the same bracket and if we play UCONN we would be wearing road uniforms now wheras it would have been home ones if we got the #1 instead of them. I also think it's annoying our game is in the morning Thursday rather than later in the day.
