Doesn't matter the perceived talent you have on your roster if your coaches don't develop it to play as a team. Nothing about that Memphis system or roster was team oriented. It was all one on one match-up oriented with an occasional feed down low from the post to a cutter. If Memphis were well coached they would have stopped doing the hand checks, blocks and trips that they got called on repeatedly in the first half, which continued in the second half. CRB was smart to go zone even though it hurt them in the second half on 3 pointers. He saw how the refs were calling it and gave them no opportunity to affect the final result. If the game had been tight he would have risked it with more man to man and pushing the 3 point line.

We need Turner back.
 
Maybe. But Memphis vs. UT games have always meant more to Memphis fans than Tennessee fans. I enjoy them because Memphis brings the heat and that in turn gets us excited but the rivalry hasn't been maintained enough to feel like one and without football it's gonna miss most UT fans. OM is a better rival to Memphis than we are and I hate that because Memphis is still OUR state but it's true.

Memphis basketball fans hate Tennessee. They view themselves as an elite Top basketball power. They view us as insignificant in basketball, yet they cannot explain hold we hold the edge in the all time series.
