I remember when every game that wasnโ€™t a student break had a sold out lower bowl. The upper bowl by contrast is almost empty. Iโ€™d venture if you took away season ticket holders theyโ€™ve only sold a few dozen tickets up top.

I hope we can be somewhat competitive in this game. We were blown out by them in 2024 when we still had Milicic, Jackson and Patterson.

Memphis was way too athletic for us last year. Would expect the gap has widened further.

I would prepare for the worst. To say Iโ€™m pessimistic about this game would be a gross understatement.

Donโ€™t know if Tigers are more athletic than last yearโ€™s squad that imploded in league play following the season and career ending injury to Caleb Mills. Biggest difference is the 2024-25 Tigers are a โ€œteamโ€ in the real sense that has meshed for the most part. Do seem to get bored at times, as shown by the home loss to Arkansas State and the too close for comfort win over ECU.

Two words: complete blowout. It will be embarrassingly excruciating to watch and best of all itโ€™s on the Deuce for the nation to see how awful we are and how far weโ€™ve fallen and continue in that total free fall. :face_vomiting::cry::face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

If it makes you feel any better, itโ€™s been so long since we were decent I donโ€™t think anyone will be watching and thinking โ€œman, Charlotte has gotten so bad.โ€

Itโ€™s expected now. We are in the bottom 1% of all teams for last conference tournament game won.

You just canโ€™t luck into being this bad after being as good as we were, no matter how much people say so.

After a couple of close calls, Tigers stub their toe in AAC play vs Temple.

Correct. And the bad hires donโ€™t hire themselves. From how high up are these bad hires originating? For the record, I agree with you.

Just watching todayโ€™s Eye on College Basketball Podcast and interesting tidbit from Parrish about Memphis - over past two seasons, Tigers are 13-4 vs P5 while 14-9 vs AAC.

Both Parrish and Norandler think thereโ€™s no reason to be worried about Tigers after loss to Temple. Latter said UofM can take a couple of losses in league play and still be okay as concerns NCAAT.
