Memphis Game Thread

[BaltimoreTerp]

One thing the Terps might want to do is back off on the press some. Memphis isn't allowing themselves to get trapped, and it's giving them momentum and numbers at the basket when they get the ball down the court.

Let's have some fun with this. Memphis could beat the following NBA teams today:

LA Clippers

Wizards

Kings

Bobcats

Knicks

Grizzlies

Thunder

I thought you didn't read my posts :laughlol:

Seriously though, I don't think we have much of a chance to come back and win. However, it isn't impossible because Memphis almost has to average out at some point as do the Terps.

Averaging out won't do much. This is pretty embarrassing, but not wholly unexpected.

I agree, the press is hurting MD much more than it's helping.

I wish CBS would swith to another game....this game was over an hour ago.

[Pedro Cerrano]

I can't believe we're still pressing -- they've scored on three stright possessions when we've pressed.

Maybe in a game to 10.

Maybe in a game to 10.

Today they could beat most of those teams. Most days they would get vaporized

With they way they were shooting they could beat any of those teams.

Terps down by just 2... in the second half...

Yes, today Memphis could beat most teams. You've got to be honest though and say that MD isn't one of the 25-30 best teams in the country. This game shows me that Md still has a long ways ago to get to that perennial Sweet 16 level.

A lot of folks will consider this a successful season.

Considering they'd be facing man to man defense against a team that wouldn't have to pack in their defense, they wouldn't be getting the same shots.

So no, they wouldn't imo.

I hope Hayes turns into a 15-17 ppg player next yeat and isn't afraid to shoot the ball more often. I am fully expecting that too.

We should. This is a team with no inside presence that managed to fight through problems on- and off-the-court to make the second round of the NCAA tournament.

You can acknowledge what the team accomplished while acknowledging that they aren't where they should be and need to get better.

Consider me one of them. To make the tournament with this roster is a huge achievement
