Massey had us with a 87% chance of losing by 13 points.

Nothing better than a win like this. It's one thing to bullieve you can win. It's a whole diff deal to beat a top 10 team in their house after coming back from 20 pts down. They can draw from this the rest of the season.

I was at a dinner with friends here in Colorado Springs and we were watching the game on my friend's phone. Memphis missed their final 3 attempt just as they were delivering the food.  I was throwing my hands up in the air and then explained that I really looking forward to the salmon.

So thankful that 3 didn’t go in at the buzzer. USF fans have been through too many of those heartbreakers. I don’t know how USF fate has changed in both football & basketball but I like to think this has been long over due for all the die hard supporters of USF athletics. Go Bulls!!!

Wow, what  a win. I stopped following the box score after we were down big, but when I checked the score this morning I was surprised to the point i had to read the score twice since i thought I had misread it. That has to be the biggest win in quite some years. 

What a year so far for Rahim. Combine that with success in football, and things are finally looking up for us Bulls fans.

Kelly deserves credit for these two hires

I don't think that we would have to win the conference tournament. If we can finish at least 10-4 the rest of the way, including a win against another ranked team (FAU) and then win at least 1 conference tournament game that would put us at 21-10 with wins against 2 ranked teams. That would be a strong argument.

Not with our non-conf. SOS. IMO, we will have to either win out or win the conference tournament to have any shot at the tournament. The conference tournament will be competitive but winnable.

A huge win for the program and Bulls. I don't follow basketball much, but a top 10 win is a top 10 win. Great work by the coaches and players.

Chalk another one up to the old timers.  Pryor's grit and grind inside leads us to another big W.  It looks like he will be a key to our success down the stretch.  Have to have that inside presence to win against good teams and in the conference.

lol

Pryor is a modern day big. he can hit 3's (he did shoot 7 3's right?) and he can run to the rim.

thank god our coach knows about modern day basketball unlike many of our fans.

we shot 30 three pointers last night.

memphis outscored us in the paint 42-18

Well the other day you claimed he never shot more than 1 or 2 ... which is it?   We didn't win from the 3 point line man, we rallied in the 2nd half behind Pryor's inside presence.  Basketball hasn't changed man ... you still need an inside presence or you're going to struggle.

no I said he averaged 2 three attempts per game.

Basketball has changed. Perhaps you aren't paying attention.

analytics prove that shooting threes or attacking the basket is the most efficient way to score.

Defending the 3 and protecting the rim is most important on defense.

playing with a traditional big man or shooting mid range shots is old school.

Why do you think the NBA wants nothing to do with Zack Edey?

Pryor is more suitable to modern day basketball. He can shoot 3's and he is a high energy guy that can attack the rim. He also defends the rim well.
