Trouble in Memphis?

Penny Hardaway sounds off on Memphis’ veterans: ‘We’ve got so much negativity in our locker room’
The Tigers lost their third straight game Saturday, but Hardaway says not to blame freshmen Emoni Bates and Jalen Duren.

I honestly have no idea. Maybe it's their format. I've never heard of a conference playing before December. Then again, I guess the "Conference of Champions" plays by different rules.

Holy balls, I didn't want to believe my eyes. How? Mike White is a mediocre coach, but he shouldn't be losing to a garbage 0-7 SWAC team by 15. What a awful, awful loss. Could easily see Florida being on the bubble and that loss keep them out.

I didn't even know it was a Johnny Johns coached team either. How bad can you be, Mike White?

More nervous about our game vs Houston than I was vs Gonzaga.

Do you not agree? I think Gonzaga is severely overrated, and I don't particularly like that they only dropped two spots despite a bad three-game stretch. The loss of Joel Ayayi was much bigger than anticipated because I don't see the superb guard play from them that you usually see under a Few coached team.
I think Houston is better defensively, they match up well with our guards, they can create turnovers, and can match our pace.
Where we can dominate however is with Bediako, Gary, and hopefully Gurley stepping up in the paint and bullying them on the glass. Statistically, Houston is 144th and 60th in defensive and offensive rebounding (Alabama is 16th and 30th). So if play well defensively and get stops, that's where we'll be able to push our tempo hopefully minimize turnovers.

@Bammerboy321 with limited time to really get into Houston this morning and being overly simplistic to a point I don't see the Houston game rating higher on the "fret level" scale than the other.
Was the team a little more loose, more focused than normal, on a weekend trip pre-finals to Seattle to face Gonzaga? Or, are they going to be in a "better place" at home, with finals in the rear view mirror, hosting Houston?
Based on ticket sales it looks like there will still be a lot of people in Tuscaloosa in spite of it being a late tip on a Saturday night (and with finals over.)

We'll see this Saturday. My personal opinion, it wouldn't be a bad idea to put some money on Houston making it back to the FF, and potentially winning it all.

About this time yesterday I was looking over the TV schedule and noticed TTU was playing UT in NY. I almost posted "that's a game to keep an eye on" thinking how Beard didn't leave TTU in bad shape.
It wasn't so much about TTU last night as it was about what UT wasn't: 6 of 40 for three's. (That's .150 for you kids out there.)
TTU is 7-1. It's no where near as damaging a loss as the one Florida just took.

Going to drive down and watch the Memphis game Tuesday. Haven’t seen a Bama basketball game in 3 years. Sure hope we bring it that night.

It's hard to tell what UT's identity is on offense when they put on the display they did last night. After 30 missed threes, you'd think Barnes had seen enough of poor shot selection. Nope. They kept throwing it up.
