UMass wanted the win bad enough to win by one point. Both Memphis and Tenn will want this win, and I will be surprised if it does not come down to a close finish regardless of what the coaches say or do. As we have seen over the last few years, playing at home is not much of an advantage...

So were your UT/Memphis alter egos fighting during this game considering you had kids go to each school? Well, to keep peace in the family we respect the fact that each has their own team and we are polite about it. It helped that it was a close game. As the Dad, I try to support them...

Kansas only beat Memphis by two points, and we have a brand new coach. They are not unbeatable.

Good for some people, not so good for others. :) Seriously though, that was a great game even if Memphis lost. Tennessee was the only school to beat us that year other than Kansas in the National Championship.

Ok, I just went out and read the "End of the Bruce Pearl Era" thread and I see your point. You are saying that you truely believe he is no good as a coach. Being an elite team is not easy, as you have also discovered in football. Would Purdue think CBP is not a good coach? From the outside...

To VolDad: You asked if I have been reading the threads. I have been reading the threads posted today, but I only drop in sometimes. I am not sure I get your point. Do you disagree with me? By the way, I am both the Dad of a Tennesse Volunteer and the Dad of a Memphis Tiger. Both have now...

Bruce Pearl is a good coach. In your heart you know it is true. Sometimes players get out of control and just do their own thing. Memphis went to the Elite Eight with a team that lost to Tenn by double digits four years ago. Two years ago we went to the national championship with a team that...

I just wanted to congratulate Tenn fans on getting a recruit you were really hoping for. He should be great for your team, and he is evidence that Bruce Pearl is able to communicate to the young recruits the passion he has for Tennessee basketball. I am looking forward to some great games...

As a Memphis fan I can say I am truely sorry that Tenn. had less sucess than you had hoped for. I think Bruce Pearl is a good guy trying to do a good job and he will bring the school sucess given enough time. When Coach Cal was taking Memphis to the NIT, we Memphis fans stood behind him and...

Bruce Pearl put a great team together last year, but things went south after the lost to Vandy. That means he has the ability, but it hasn't happened for him at Tenn. yet. He knows how to recruit, and getting in great talent is critical. He knows his x's and o's; after all he has been a head...

You guys need to give yourself more credit. First off, your defense is better than you think. Memphis has scored around 81 point per game, and you held them to 54. Second, Memphis has held opponents with good defense to low scores all season so it wasn't that you have a terrible offense. It...

You guys played a good game and had a strong chance at the end. The refs missed a few calls, but it looked like it went both ways. I am sorry someone had to lose, but I do think it was your turn.:) Good luck the rest of the season, and I hope you don't lose again until we meet in the Big Dance.

I can't wait either. I am so excited, I am reading both the Memphis and the Vol board!

You should be able to celebrate the play without the ref calling it taunting and calling a technical. Since my loyalty is to Memphis and both Vandy and the Vols are Tennessee teams, I was watching as a neutral observer just to see a good game. I thought the call was totally unjustified...

I heard Coach Pearl was asked about pulling the full court press off during the Vandy Game. The radio interviewer asked if he was planning to return to the press with Memphis. Coach Pearl asked something like "do you want to know the whole game plan or just this" and then a moment later said...
