Wait, what? Memphis doesn't play on campus? Impossible. There was that one year where we played at the St. Pete Times/TBT Forum/Ice Palace/Amalie Arena. Worked out pretty well. I think you may be on to something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the stat I saw on the TV screen said they went from 6 or 8k to the 15k this year. When my daughter was young she was a big Penny fan. Took her to a Sixers game when they were playing the Magic but she couldn't get his autograph. She would have a chance on Saturday except she can't be there. I think I have seen a total of 4 nba games in my lifetime. I could not pick out a Penny Hardaway in a line up. Never could watch the NBA.

Haven't followed as closely since moving down here in '02. And back to college BB, the first USF game I attended was because they were playing Villanova. I was/am a 'nova fan. They were #2 in the country at the time but one of their 3 star guards was out. USF had a shot at the buzzer to win the game. I left there a USF MBB fan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first USF game I can remember attending was against Georgetown. My best memory was against Western Kentucky (I think in 86) and USF was down 7 with 30 seconds to go and won on the last shot of the game. Sun Dome went absolutely nuts.

Tako Bell is shooting something like 24% from the FT line. That's the worst in NCAA in 17 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Tacko Fall, but I like Ocala's version better. I wonder if the fans get free chalupas if he shoots 50% from the line? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told my GF walking out of the Houston game that I left that game with about a minute left pissed off. Walking back to my dorm I heard the Dome explode.
