I can be critical of players in the heat of the moment but let me say two things about players I've been critical of:
-JB has things to work on (court vision, decision making, etc), but he is capable of doing things on offense that no one else on the team can do. He had a couple of high level finishes. That right hand finger roll while fading away to the right was incredible.
-Grant Sherfield: I still think the ball sticks in his hands during ball screen continuity, but I understand why Gregg went to it. Memphis was triple switching all of our set plays and completely blowing them up. Gregg wanted the ball in our best ball handlers hand - which is far and away GS. When he has the ball in the last 2 minutes of a game we are leading you gotta feel pretty confident he's not going to turn it over. Dude is nails with the ball.
If MU doesn't brick 4 free throws in a row and we convert a couple of layups this game isn't close. We absolutely dominated them on the offensive glass. It was as impressive of a performance on the glass that I've seen in a long time.
This team got punk'd against WVU and very clearly has decided that that isn't going to happen again. To be cliche, this team has "it".The mountains are calling, and I must go.

1. Mike Miller is a good coach, but not good enough last night.
2. Dex played angry.
3. AM has his place, they're not all gonna be lottery picks.
4. If we had Lomax, we'd love him.
5. Crowd was about as good as I ever heard it.
6. Precious is a top-ten pick this summer.
7. JB loses the ball when he backs people down, no?
8. The Memphis press ain't much (and it should be)
9. Trey Wade just goes to work.
10. I'd swear they blocked 15-20 shots.

To beat an already dead horse... I’ve never in my life seen someone so confidently miss free-throws than MU. That young man couldn’t drop the ball into a black-hole while getting sucked through it.

Interesting to hear Penny talk about JB and the difference in game planning him from last year to last night.One quick note before we present the rankings: With Wichita State’s move to the American Athletic Conference, the Shockers have moved out of the mid-major club. We wish the Shockers well against Cincinnati, UConn, SMU, and more.

JB has his moments where he gets himself in trouble.
But he makes plays too. Kinda like MM last year. Some head scratchers, but my God some of his moves and buckets last night...."When life hands you lemons, make lemonade." Better have some sugar and water too, or else your lemonade will suck!
