September 2, 200718 yr Author comment_8402 My dad had noticed billboards here for a while now saying Memphis is espn's #1 team in the country in their preseason poll. Well now on the way home from a casino tonight there was a billboard in Mississippi saying Memphis is ALSO CBS' #1 team in the country. w00t.
September 4, 200718 yr Author comment_8409 http://www.sportsline.com/collegebasketball/story/10329677 Proof Memphis is CBS' preseason #1. It states it further down in the article.
October 12, 200718 yr Author comment_8485 I am going to Midnight Madness tonight (which isn't at midnight anymore). It will be televised at midnight ET on ESPNU for anyone who actually has that channel.
November 7, 200718 yr Author comment_8615 Now 2-0 on the season. Another great Gme by Rose. He had 21 points in 25 minutes. The first day he had 17 points in about the same minutes. Now we have an exhibition game Monday then a few days later we will most likely play Oklahoma and then either UCONN or Kentucky.
November 15, 200718 yr Author comment_8665 Memphis plays Oklahoma on ESPN2 tonight at about 9 P.M. ET. It probably will start later than that though, since it starts after the conclusion of the UCONN and Gardner-Webb game.
November 16, 200718 yr Author comment_8667 Memphis (3-0) faces Connecticut (3-0) tonight a little after 9 P.M. ET on ESPN2. Memphis is a point favorite.
December 5, 200718 yr Author comment_8749 Memphis is now 7-0 after winning against #24 USC in Overtime.
December 16, 200718 yr Author comment_8814 Memphis is 8-0 for only the fourth time since World War II. We play #4 Georgetown in 1 week.
December 22, 200718 yr Author comment_8853 Memphis blew out the #4 team in the country and it is now "possible" one of the polls would leap us over North Carolina on Christmas Eve.
December 30, 200718 yr Author comment_8944 11-0 One more win would give us sole possession of our second best start in team history. In the mid 80's we started a season 20-0. A lot of national people probably don't even realize how great Memphis (then called Memphis State) has been over the years and they think Calipari coming turned us into a great basketball school. We already were one, but then hit bad times for about 5 years. Some former or current pros from here were: Keith Lee, Penny Hardaway, Lorenzen Wright, David Vaughn, Bedford (forget his first name for some reason), Elliott Perry, Darius Washington, Rodney Carney, Dajuan Wagner, Cedric Henderson, Antonio Burks, Shawne Williams, Earl Barron. Then some who WERE coming here but went straight to the pros instead were Amare Staudemire, Quintell Woods, and several others. Thaddeus Young is from the Memphis area I believe also. Anyway we beat #17 Arizona by 13 1 game after beating #4 Georgetown by 14.
December 31, 200718 yr Author comment_8974 Cool. And it's about time someone posted in here. Look how many in a row were my own posts. lol
January 9, 200818 yr Author comment_9046 We are 30 point favorites tonight and our last 2 games we won by 44 and 37. Most of the top teams are not winning by 30+ anymore against even the bad teams. North Carolina started out winning by more than us, but now they are winning by closer to 20 against the bad teams and they barely are getting past good teams. Memphis is winning by 30-40 against bad ones and double digits still against the great ones such as Georegetown and Arizona.
January 10, 200818 yr Author comment_9062 It's funny Memphis won by 41 and the AP recaps start out saying "things didn't go so smoothely for Memphis", yet North Carolina beats teams like NC Asheville by 12 points and that is all dandy. lmao. We will have the last laugh when we win it all. The announcers lastnight were saying they don't even remember the last time they saw a team as deep with talent as ours and that it may take an NBA team to beat us. The past 3 games we have won by 44, 37, and 41 now.
March 15, 200817 yr Author comment_9441 Memphis is officially in the NCAA Tournament, as they won by 27 points in their conference championship game today to take their record to 33-1.
March 16, 200817 yr Author comment_9445 Memphis just received the Second #1 seed of the NCAA Tournament. Only UNC got a better #1. I think it's pretty fair. If UNC had lost today, I think Memphis should have got it.
March 29, 200817 yr Author comment_9555 Memphis is one game from the first Final Fur in more than 20 years. We were winning 50-20 at half time against a good Michigan State team. That's right. No typo. 50-20.
April 4, 200817 yr Author comment_9593 http://collegebasketball.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=793618 Rivals predicts memphis by 5. I sure hope we win.
April 5, 200817 yr comment_9595 http://collegebasketball.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=793618Rivals predicts memphis by 5. I sure hope we win. Rivals.com stinks. Aaron predicts Memphis by 11. http://www.gottalk.com/index.php?automodul...mp;showentry=81
April 5, 200817 yr Author comment_9598 Well hopefully Aaron's is right. Whoever he is. He must be a cool person though since he predicted the winner I want to win.
April 12, 200817 yr Author comment_9659 Someone told me that a source told him that Rose and CDR are staying. I would be extremely shocked if they do though. Rose is going to be AT WORST the #1 overall pick in the NBA draft. Personally if I were in his situation I would stay another year and enjoy the college setup becuase the NBA isn't even basketball... it's just a no defense imitation. But if he does what people tell him, he would go pro. I just think it sucks that people base everything on money and tell students what to do. So he will feel almost forced to go pro when it SHOULD be his decision, not people convincing him. CDR I think could stay becuase he won't be drafted high, but he does not have much to gain from staying in school, so who knows.
April 23, 200817 yr Author comment_9727 All 5 starters are now going to try to go pro. Anderson and Dozier now announced their intent to. As good of a recruiting class as we have I still would be worried next year if all 5 starters are gone.
April 26, 200817 yr comment_9754 Thats tough. Good for the furture though. Could work out to be the Next Florida.
