Memphis-Houston Live-Blog First Half

Surprise, surprise. No Kansas-K-State. Sorry bout that, apparently the Slingbox I have is not "Registered For That Purchase" Super lame. Amazing, the other undefeated team in the country is also playing a difficult road game and most of America cna't miss. I'm already out of class, so why not live-blog this bad boy instead?


Memphis-Houston 1st Half


- Good lord is the crowd is going nuts as. Makes sense, they have been waiting 25 years for a game like this. Dowdell just threw down a monster dunk and the Cougs have an early 4-0 lead and has even caused Calipari to call an early time out at the 18:40 mark! The Cougars might be bale to get by on momentum for awhile in this one.

- Another turnover for Memphis...they look extremely flusters, which makes sense since have havn't really played a true tough roadie all year

- Houston is pressing Memphis and really forcing the Tiger into some bad shots early on.....but they better a 75 man bench if they want to keep this up all night.

- And our first Joey Dorsey foul shot....amazingly 1-2 from the 36% shooter.

- Big three form Dowdell to give the Cougars 9-4 lead......looks like he's brought his A game tonight

16:00 Houston 9 Memphis 4

- Of all the Memphis players looking flustered, Rose is leading the way

- I'm pretty positive that none of the Houston faithful has yet to sit down in the arena.

- "Fluff"hits a trey from the top of the arc to make it 15-9.......Fluff gets all STF team honorable mention.

- Questionable charge call on Memphis's Willie Kemp.....looking like the Cougs are also getting all the calls early in this one...followed by a weak and-1 by UH's McHiver. Mojo not in the Tigers favor early on....

12:00 Houston 17 Memphis 11

- Mna it's always an adventure when Memphis goes to the line....three straight misses, and only one by Dorsey....remember that come tourney time

- Well, that was fast...Houston goes cold from the field and Tigers hit three treys in what felt like thirty seconds...Memphis one top for the first time 22-18

-Just saw that Cincy is up 20 on WVU at Morgantown.....goaltending hangover?

- More threes from Memphis....13-0.....Tigers finally hitting their stride....Houston is taking some horrible shots....Houston can't let this one get way from them


8:00 Memphis 28 Houston 22

- In case you were wondering, Tom Penders is rocking a wonderfully awesome red blazer

- Finally, Rocky Pane for three for Houston....and Douglas-Roberts responds with a three....Tigers back up 9.

- I think the extremely weird shot by Douglas-Roberts makes me enjoy his game even more....it's like a pitcher with a strange wind-up

- Another bucket by Kemp, this is one is getting dangerously close to slipping away from Houston in the first half.

- K-State 28 Kansas 26.....now i'm pissed that I can't watch this game.

- Quick four by Houston, but another dagger three by Anderson and Memphis

4:00 Memphis 41 Houston 31

- Houston is going to zone, finally realizing that it's probably not a good idea to outrun Memphis for 40 minutes

- Stats of the half? Houston is 3-15 from behind the arc. with seven TOs. CDR bucket makes it 15. Houston looks deflated, and I'm wishing I had KU-KSU.

- Dowell dunks one one to finish out the half, giving them maybe a half of breathe heading into the locker room

Half: Memphis 46 Houston 35
