USF 24 -------- NT 19

 

3:58 to go

 

Allen with three fouls already. 

It feels like USF has made at least half their tries from three against us.  Not sure what the actual number is.

[South Florida (2/3/24)]

USF 21 -------- NT 17

 

6:42 to go

 

Edwards already has eleven.  He might need to score 40+ tonight unless he gets more than just Sissoko helping.

[South Florida (2/3/24)]

USF 12 -------- NT 7

 

11:16 to go

 

Bulls breaking down our defense more than we can afford right now.  Sissoko with some good play early, but he needs to make some of his free throws.

I understand the logic behind it…. But having been on all ends of it in one way or another it shouldn’t affect anybody. Crowd noise is crowd noise rather on the road or at home if you can get through that mentally it will be better for you. People get loud and cheer at every game. Take it all the same along with the silence as well. 

This study was done comparing home records and foul calls in the season around the pandemic vs in 20-21 when there weren't many/any crowds.  There was definitely a difference.

Are you saying our team didn't show up?

LMAO - sorry fixed the typing error.

Not having a true PG so far has hurt us.

I don’t think we are allowed to step on the court during play….. but I will ask….. 

If you don't think a good crowd can help the home team, then I don't even know.

[South Florida (2/3/24)]

Tough game with guys out.  Hopefully the crowd can help get the guys over the hump.

[South Florida (2/3/24)]

It's not much different than other team messageboards.  If Duke loses to Carolina tonight their fans will likely be trashing Filipowski and if UNC does Heels will do the same to RJ Davis if they are perceived at having "less than" games.

[South Florida (2/3/24)]

Buggs is a streaky shooter.  He's the kind of guy who is gonna miss 15 in a row and then hit the next ten.  Those kind of shooters can be frustrating, but when they're on they're world beaters.

[UAB (1/31/24)]

Yeah, Memphis is falling down an elevator shaft right now.

3.  We blew a 17 point lead AT HOME.  So frustrating.  We should have won the last two games.  We lead FAU for 36 minutes of the game and UAB for 37 minutes of the game.

 

I give the FAU game a pass because even though we led most of the game, I was never comfortable.  There were stretches tonight where I thought we were gonna blow UAB out.  This is one of the most disappointing losses of recent vintage.

we don't have a point guard so a press is always going to be an issue. 
 

I'm actually surprised we don't get pressed more.

[South Florida (2/3/24)]

We really need this one before the losing stretch gets out of control.  And it comes against a school leading the AAC.  Hopefully our fans show up -- need a big crowd.

We have a really good USF team coming to town on Saturday 

Yeah, don't remind me.  They're tied for first.

[UAB (1/31/24)]

I want a closeup of the baseline out of bounds with 6.7 seconds...I really thought the UAB kid's toe was on the line and it should have been our ball.

We're in a lot of trouble with all these fouls.  Can't score either.

UAB giving us fits with their pressure.

[UAB (1/31/24)]

NT 52 -------- UAB 41

Both teams racking up the fouls.  Might be a lot of free throws this half.

[UAB (1/31/24)]

NT 43 -------- UAB 34

 

16:00 to go

 

The first four minutes was even on the scoreboard, but it feels like UAB is primed for a run.  We don't seem nearly as sharp to me.

Quality for the good guys.  Pretty nice student turnout.
