Well, Purdue hung around for a half
Xavier hung around for 38 minutes (how about that, actually hitting your foulshots to beat Xavier)
Now prepare for a full 40 MINUTES OF HELL!

gold b-ball jerseys are hideous...

Faith, folks.
If this team doesn’t care about how good Memphis is, why should they care what color they’re in.
To add to tigr’s fantastic treatise: They said we couldn’t win a big game in gold… then they did.
So my wife
Did a nice thing and took the kids to the Magic House in STL today. They are just getting back.
Guess who has to put the wound up kids to sleep… This is going to take FOREVER.
Yikes.

Older brother just texted me.
“Jesus. No defense. First to 90 wins.”
My reply:
“Man, if Memphis wants to run, let’s run. I’d LOVE to get in a track meet with anyone.”

It's not a guarantee we'd win a track meet...

Exactly my point.
If we lose, I want it to be that we got out-athleted, period.
