Memphis- Houston Live-Blog 2nd Half



- And we are back....for the record, I have zero faith in Houston keeping this close. They blew their chance in the first 10 minutes. Memphis is too .

- CDR has the quietest 14 points I can remember. Seriously, how could anyone with such a cool name/cool shot be this underrated? Freakin' Kenny George has more pub than him

- Good lord, Memphis is just so overwhelimng. Just keeping pushing and pushing with so amny players. 8-0 Tiger run to start the half 54-35

- Honestly, if you Houston is the second best team in CUSA, what in god's name does a tema like Rice do when they play Memphis?

- CDR! Another bucket gives him 20 for the game. I'm torn between CDR and Gordon for my man-crush of the year

16:00 Memphis 56 Houston 42

- Good lord, we picked a good day to run a St. John's rant. They trailed 41-15 in he first half to Gtown

- Houston's Rocky Pane is doing his best to keep this close. Nice player, only Cougars can drive to the bucket tonight

- Teams have traded baskets in the last four minutes, which is exactly what Houston can't do

- Brandan Wright All-Stars? We have new name for DH, the Joey Dorsey All-Stars. Houston should just employ the hack-a-Dorsey after two more missed two more FTs.

- CDR is down with 3 fouls....down 14. Houston needs to make a run now or I'm watching KU-KSU on Gametracker

12:00 Memphis 66 Houston 54

- How about that! I trash this game we are back to 10. If Houston stays away from the TOs and starts hitting some treys, who knows

- Bucket by UH's Williams, down to 8....crowd is finally back into it.

- But CDR has the answer, hitting the jumper to get it back to 10. He's on the shortlist of guys I want to shoot the game winner

- Down to 8,but again (!) .....CDR answers the call.

- Still at 10, but the crowd is back into it and at least it's a game


7:00 Memphis 72 Houston 62

- Possible the play of the game....Dowell drives to the bucket, is hit so hard he's knocked to the floor but no foul is called, leads to fastbreak dunk for CDR. Back to 12. Game.Set.Match

- Doresy gets the attention, but Dozier might the most talented man under the bucker for the Tigers...two straight baskets for him.

- The teams trade buckets until the end...nice win in a hostile enviroment for the Tiger. And if you haven't really watched CDR play in person, do so immediatly He does everything. Thank you everyone who joined this randomly late live-blog. If my classes continue to get cancelled, well do it again before March. Now, time to hear about the Kansas loss....


Final: Memphis 89 Houston 77

Extra P - you worried yet?

Eric (Extra P.) said...

I woke up worried two days ago. This is definitely a game Kansas can lose.

I'm watching Kansas-Kstate here at half time of syracuse depaul and this game has been incredible so far. ARthur just picked up his fourth foul for kansas.

Marco said...

keep me updated...Houston aight getting back in this one

Marco said...

you're going to have a busy closer tomorrow...Drake is losing and Miss State is being blown out by Arkansas

Jameson said...

Kansas St. Just went on a 10-0 run, they up 12.

Eric (Extra P.) said...

Yes, this could be a painful closer indeed.

Eric (Extra P.) said...

Ha! And Illinois is beating Mich State. Must curry favor with the boss.

Marco said...

haha...you gotta give CDR some props

Eric (Extra P.) said...

Balls.

Digital Headbutt said...

Memphis is going to be the entire Brandan Wright All-Star team of C-USA.

Eric (Extra P.) said...

What a coincidence. They'll probably also be the entire all-conference first team as well. That nagging achilles heel is an interesting subplot, though.
