Green Ghost Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 I saw Penny Hardaway and the Memphis State Tigers (as they were known as back then) play in the Holiday Festival at the Garden back in the day. They were a fun team to watch, but the lasting memory I have was how their Dance Squad (yes their dance squad) stole the show. People’s jaws dropped as we watched their first routine during an early time out. Then as the night went on, they got standing ovations every time they finished a routine. They were incredible. I’m wondering if they are still a thing? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

talisaynon Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 It was fine that it happened to the Cavs because they used it as fuel the following year. There's a great article by either SI or ESPN how Bennett told the team to talk about the loss to make sure they own it. To get over the trauma they would always put the loss as context for why they did things. They had buy in from their veterans Kyle Guy and DeAndre Hunter who would talk and talk about the loss as a way of making themselves feel comfortable with it. It worked, by the time the season started the loss was always front and center so they never played scared and doubted themselves when they were down. It's a great ******* story and I don't know why there hasn't been a movie made about it yet. Now Zach Edey and Purdue. Do they look like they're the type of team that learns all the right lessons from something traumatic as this? Lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Ghost Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 I’ve got two pools. Duke in one, Kentucky in the other. I had the Princeton upset, because I always take them in the first round and almost had another one with Keneshaw. I’m killing it so far with my game picks… against the spread I’m 9-2. If Memphis can cover it will be 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one cares if you excel in the Big 10. It's all about the national stage at that level. And this isn't a one-time deal for him. All coaches get picked off in the tournament from time to time. But for Painter it seems like it happens every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They allowed FDU to collect 11 Offensive Rebounds. Especially when you consider they exclusively play M2M (its harder to rebound out of a zone). Mind boggling.

greenwichjetfan Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Terrible ******* call on the “tie-up”. (1) Hardaway had sole possession. FAU didnt have anyone with their hand on the ball. How the **** is that a tie up? The red blew the whistle early. (2) Two different players on Memphis called timeout RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE REFS.

Green Ghost Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Hardaway threw his water bottle on the court walking off… I bet the Tigers, and am a Hardaway fan going way back, but his team straddled the line between hard and dirty play during this game and crossed it a few times imo. I’m not upset to see them lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is because Purdue is nowhere near a blue blood so they’re happy with a coach who has them competitive every year. Maybe this is finally their wake up call. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this is finally their wake up call. I’m not saying they are a blue blood, but they are certainly in the next tier. Purdue Basketball has a pretty storied history, just can’t win the big one. I doubt Painter is going anywhere but there are certainly Purdue fans ready to move on. Iowa fits your description far more than Purdue and it’s about 50/50 on whether they should fire their coach. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section314 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 The biggest knock on Painter is that for the 2nd year in a row, minus the great G from last year that was a high pick, they don’t have many, if any guys who are as good and athletic as either St. Peter’s or FDU. And it’s pretty clear that goes for the coach as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The great guard recruits that translate over better to the modern game still go to the programs that will put them in the biggest spotlight, Duke, Kansas…etc. Big 10 gets these plodders for a reason. I do think there are some early signs of shifts happening in that regard though. Edey really is a classic example of where basketball is now. He’d be a top 3 pick in the 80’s. Now he’s barely a first rounder. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
