to lose to Cincy. I would say that their 10th loss with quite a few games left ends their NCAA chances.
Penny gags an 11pt 2nd half lead at home

Haha. I feel SO bad for Penny and Memphis
They have 10 losses and like 4 of their top 6 scorers (and best players) are seniors. He has a few 4 star freshman but i can’t see them doing much Next year. Even with wiseman.
Poor Penny. Are coaches still jealous of your success?
I truly hope they lose out for the season!
Watched that game, Penny just got out coached. Memphis had a 11 point lead at one time.
After he rail roaded tubby I hope he loses out and gets fired mid season next year. I hope their little science experiment goes up in flames. That whole program and coaching staff is $leazy. I for the life of me cannot $ee why a top recruit would gamble my draft $tock with a group like that.
When flipped it on the Memphis Arena looked absolutely empty. Guess the city doesn’t care much for the Penny edition
How can Wiseman watch Memphis play, then watch UK and not know that he made the wrong decision? How can you possibly compare the two programs and think the right place to go is Memphis?
I'm jealous of his ability to blow games. I've lived my whole life dreaming of being a college basketball coach that blew second half leads. He's got all the luck.
These kids honestly think they'll be the one to turn things around. They're used to being the absolute best player on the floor every time.
It doesn't hit them until they get to college and realize that everyone playing was a star in high school. You can't just play 1 v 5 and win anymore.
When you play in the NBA and are a local hero you are automatically gonna be a great coach.

Wiseman's decision will always be IMO the dumbest decision in Cal's tenure at UK so far at least. Nothing wrong with choosing KU or DUke ect. But freaking sorryass Memphis who has a HS freaking coach ? LMAO .
Should have never fired Tubby he got $9,000,000 to walk away
I'm so jealous of Penny, Mike Miller, and the boys. I mean if we could ever get a coach of his infinite wisdom and skill here, my lord we'd probably never lose a game ever again. Poor Jimmy Wiseman, fell into that fake bill of goods and it will probably cost him bare minimum 5 spots in the draft. He'd already lost his grip as the top prospect before he committed to Mr. Beale Street and now that he won't be pushed or coached he'll probably disappoint at the collegiate level relative to expectations.
I know what you’re saying but IMO that goes to Bolden. Wiseman will most likely be fine as far as draft stock goes at Memphis. But Bolden had a chance to play with Fox and be apart of that team and if he is I think he’s most likely 1nD.
Still players will never learn by other players mistakes and choose other subpar teams other than Kentucky.
They will be terrible next year too. He grabbed a few local guys. That’s what he was hired for. Not to win. Just recruit.
You would think he knows this because his AAU team was not very good with him and Jeffries. That's basically what he will be playing with next year Jeffries and a bunch of dudes.
I'm glad Bolden went to Duke. He was way over rated and frankly is a major embarrassment to K and the Dookies. Had he chosen UK he woulda been a blemish on Cal too. Bilas and the national media would be calling Cal put for him being stiff. slow,not very athletic and not developing.Just not very talented IMO.
The embarrassment of bolden certainly hasn’t hampered dukes recruting so not even sure what that means.
I agree with you. That’s why he would have benefited the most by being on that team with Fox and Bam. Next to those two I think he can go late first round maybe early second.
What's really funny is Tubby won 21 games at Memphis last year and got fired. Penny may not clear that hurdle. On top of that, I believe Tubby has an identical record to Memphis at freakin' HIGH POINT right now. The old man may not have wanted to recruit all that much but he's a better X and O coach than Penny can hope to be.
And why not? Mick Cronin probably walked out of there with his head hanging low. After all, Penny is tall and played in the NBA but Cronin is short and never played in the NBA. Cronin is probably also jealous that Penny has such extensive experience as an assistant to a real high school coach.
Ok, enough jokes. I really liked Penny as a player. He always seemed a nice guy, and he was am excellent player in his prime. Why does he have to be a jerk and so foolish? Is he that insecure that he feels he needs to draw attention to himself even with negative stories? Why not just turn on the charm instead? I've always been told, you can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar.
I've watched a few of Memphis' games this season.
Penny is a very very medicore basketball coach.
Outstanding player, very influential in Memphis, will recruit at a high level, but that is a very poorly coached team.
Star players don't often turn into great coaches. Star educators and motivators that know the game of basketball typically turn into great coaches.

Are we going to have a thread every time Memphis loses? I mean, holy hell, he takes a recruit and we need to talk about the guy endlessly.
