I don’t congratulate you for outplaying us…because you didn’t…
I don’t congratulate you for being the better team…because you weren’t…
I congratulate you for taking what was given to you. We would have done the same if it had been giftwrapped like that for us.
I am so proud of my boys tonight. They played 8 on 5 tonight, and STILL came within a breath of taking you down.
I definitely don’t blame Charlotte for what happened tonight. I blame Conference USA for sending three referees that NOBODY had heard of until tonight. This was a crew that should have been calling a Southern Miss/Tulane game, NOT a game of this magnitude…and it showed. If you are capable of taking off the green glasses, you will see that.
I only hope with every fiber of my being that we get one more shot at you in the tournament…
Good luck to you guys the rest of the way…see you in Memphis…
Where you watching the same game? You mean you didn’t like your gimme foul on the 3 point shot at the end? Or the no call during that melee in the first half, when the ref clearly T’d someone up?
Don’t be pathetic (which that post was). You guys lost, yet you outrebounded us by a wide margin. You had a 10 point lead in the second half! Yeah, the refs had a lot to do with that.
Face it - your coach is bush league (chasing off the refs at the end of the game, screaming obscenities) and your team choked on the road. Now go home.
Well, it was about time we had ONE go our way after the dozens of no calls that went against us…SPECIFICALLY the phantom out of bounds call against DWash, AFTER the ref missed the foul…
Like I said, congratulations…
And by the way, contrary to popular opinion before the game…there was not a single player on your team who could stop Darius Washington.

Um, except for Eddie Basden, who once he switched to "DWash", stopped him enough that we took back the lead and led from then on out.
Oh, and your PG (who is a baller) took himself out of the game fouling our post players (mainly Curt, who you couldn’t stop) on 2 or 3 straight possessions. Stupid freshman…
Such bitterness from HLT…we should all just show some love to him. It must be hard to know that the selection committee will just see Memphis as a LOSER in this game. Not even Calipari’s array of State Troopers protecting his Pompous a$$ can change the fact of losing.
But you could always try Indiana’s Davis argument that this game is really a “win”. :rolleyes:

My point exactly…
Grow up, son…
It’s all good, though…just a bit emotional right now…lol…seriously, good luck the rest of the way…
Geez, a Mississippi Tiger fan. The worst of both worlds. YOUR fans are the most self-righteous, megalomaniacs in the country. The radio announcers on 560 and 790 are the same. NO ONE gives a Sh*T about Memphis outside of your radio distance. When the big earthquake swallows you up, NO ONE will miss any of you!

[b] Incapable of class.....that's alright, boys...
We’ll get you again…
And if this is the end of the series, then it ends tied up at 6-6…FAR from the dominance so many of you like to brag about…lol [/b]
Are you reading the same thing?
What exactly was “classless” about what I said. I gave “DWash” props and I single handledly debugged your argument about fouls, making you go off on another subject and then you do it again? How old are you?
Many of their fans don’t know the slightest thing about our basketball team.
Fact is, we go the line a lot more than our opponent, and get a lot more calls. We have Curtis and Eddie and Mitch for Christ’s sake. What do you think is the reason why those studs don’t score when they get the ball in the paint… they were fouled!
This was a very exciting ballgame to watch!! The Niners are for real.
Obviously, I am biased towards my Tigers and hated seeing the questionable officiating on BOTH sides, not just against us. It just seemed we could not catch enough breaks. Even our television and radio announcers carrying the game had several comments about the refs…especially after the game was over.
All that aside. Congratulations to the Niner Cagers!
We do want a rematch!! Hopefully, we’ll see you again in Memphis at the tourney.
I think your ticket to the NCAA runs through your team’s ability to win 3 games in 3 days. It’s possible, and that’s why I want the regular season crown so badly. If we don’t win the CUSA tournament, it’s because you guys did. I firmly believe this.
HLT, go back to Memphis and see “DWash” go pro next year. You guys played hard, but you didn’t win…(insert lameass excuse here). I bet you thought that the 10-pt. lead was going to hold up, huh? Nope. “DWash” (which is a tool nickname, by the way) just kept reaching in and making ridiculously stupid fouls. You saw an All-American tonight…on our team…and his name is Eddie “Tomahawk Dunk” Basden.
Be gone with you. The NIT boards over at ESPN.com are really going to start heating up in the next little bit.

THAT is what I refer to for those who asked about what I mean by “classless”…
Horn Lake…Blaming the refs and saying the game was given to the Niners. You sir, are retarded. Every other Memphis fan I’ve read on here after the game has been classy enough to say congrats. You come with all weak excuses. The better team won, more bad calls went Memphis’s way, bad foul shooting kept you in the game, and once again…you are a retard.
You guys can have C-USA next year, its ours this year!
