I just got back from the Rice – Memphis game. As expected, we got thrashed (77-50). However, there were more than a few bright spots. Rice had a handful of stylish and convincing blocks, which I surely didn’t expect considering Memphis’ height advantage. Also, the defense didn’t play terribly. The offense was woeful, withering under a game-long full court press, and completely unable to get any sort of penetration. Also, our 3-point shooting was essentially non-existent. Memphis’ best player, Mean-Mug Dorsey, had a really sweet dunk for which he had a long set up and was completely unmolested. Also, I saw Jeff Van Gundy again. I yelled “We meet again coach!” to him, to which he responded with the shocker.
Ok, I made up that last part.
