2008 Memphis Tigers RESPECT - NCAA March Madness

[linkfan911]

god hearing them laugh at freethrows... thats why we lost

[Joeblack1100]

One of the greatest college teams ever.

[lightmyfire321]

best team ever

[lightmyfire321]

yeah bitch, fuck Kansas, "Rock Chalk", what the fuck does that shit even mean. Memphis Tigers for life!

[pinkiepinkkitty]

0:44 Thats our "D. Rose from Englewood"

[ohsofresh1026]

DREAMM TEAMM !

[NCCanes73]

This is one of the best that I can remember. I'm not gonna let one shot change my opinion.

[umemphisbball]

this is a special, special video, even if we lost.

[philoeffler]

i would love to show D-Rose and CDR the clip starting at 1:20

"We haven't lost a game at the free throw line. So what's all this talk"

"I don't know?"

-Hmm well they lost the championship because of it so...

[kufanboy15]

lol the part where they said they shoot good from the FT line is really funny now, isant it Memphis!

[shanef06]

at 0:20 the in the white in the back gets hit in the face with ball lol

[MemphsTgr]

u kno what, i had season tiks that year and even tho the entire season was a forfeiture, i will never ask for my money back. great memories, sick starting 5....

[dogf15]

stop hateing on the tigers kansas sucks balls memphis should of won

[YeonGGot]

How long has Memphis Tiger dominated C-USA?

[dolphinbuc]

Memphis lost that game,Kansas didn't win it.Jayhawks got the title though,so such is life.

[toadiusmaximus]

Kansas was the better team and they proved it.

That part around 1:20-1:50 is hilarious though...

[MemphsTgr]

@toadiusmaximus nooooo, we gave them that game. thats why 1:20-1:50 was funny to u. they only thing kansas proved was resilience...memphis was the better team.

[The23Jman]

@MemphsTgr kansas was really good, and free throws are a big part of a game, and since memphis sucked so bad at them id say kansas was a better team when it came to clutch

[videoshack100]

tennesse sucks have you seen memphis they lost by 1 shot playing the num. 1 team in the naiton

[slicingwater]

Now you lost it again.

[HawaiianKandi]

HATERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[monkey901monkey]

dont hate on the tigers

[thecatsareback]

i respect memphis like i respect the mafia. Bunch of cheaters!!!!!!

[MrBlueCrimson]

Your team got the only cheater Memphis had you dumbshit. AND the reason they lost the NC was because he was too stupid as an actual coach to call a timeout.

Kentucky has 1 good year, and then itll be back to the stagnant joke that its been the past decade. Memphis is making a push for the #1 class in 2011 WITHOUT Cals cheating ass. And kentucky is nowhere on the radar. hilarious

[IBL33DBLUE054]

@MrBlueCrimson ummmmm 3 straight top recruiting classes...hilarous

[MrBlueCrimson]

@IBL33DBLUE054 . Yeah they about in the same boat as memphis now huh.

[The23Jman]

@MrBlueCrimson i bet u feel fucking stupid now since uk got the no. 1 2011 class too, and please do not ever compare ragedy ass memphis to kentucky

[MrBlueCrimson]

@The23Jman , compare kensucky to memphis? Isnt it Kentucky that coveted memphis' coach because of all the success memphis was having while kentucky was sitting in the fucking SEC cellar?

[The23Jman]

@MrBlueCrimson yur coach came here cuz he knew it had higher potential than memphis, and now were at the top of the sec, and u all struggle through pathetic ass conference-usa

[MrBlueCrimson]

@The23Jman , higher potential? Last I checked he hasnt made it to a championship game with Kensucky yet. Why would he need higher potential, when he made it to the championship game with Memphis and had an even stronger class coming into Memphis has he stayed there? Im starting to think you dont know what the hell youre talking about bud............ maybe he went to Kentucky because of the historical prestige?

[The23Jman]

@MrBlueCrimson he's been with uk 2 years and made the elite eight and final four, plus memphis didnt make it to the title game for the first 10 fuckin years they had him, and were going to win it all this year

[MemphsTgr]

@The23Jman i never said kansas was a bad team. i said memphis was the better team. keep sucking cals dick you lover of getting your shit packed in ky fan.

[The23Jman]

@MemphsTgr i thnik they were obviously the 2 best and memphis really shudda've won

[Travi94]

They never miss free throws only acoupl times

[ctbuelt12]

yea like he said in the video they play the best teams in the country and they beat them. and we ran over teams in the tournament like michigan state texas and ucla. and you say we suck because of our conference please. your probably some stupid tennessee fan.

[homoisadaniel]

Yall niggas join the Big East, and get yo shit snatched nigga. real talk. Yall arent good till you win a title. Conference USA, thats a junior college conference nigga. Get some highschool teams in that conference, and itll be tougher. shit. memphis...SIKE.

[Jim62787]

Big East????? Wow, youre a dumbshit. Guess where the Big East Champion last year came from??? Try CUSA........... Marquette and Louisville are half of the top tier teams in the Big East every single year. So Every single year the Big East is getting owned by a CUSA team. You think itd be any different if Memphis joined the Big East??? Then 3 CUSA teams would be runnin that shit. and yet you talk about how weak it is? Lol. CUSA IS Big east nigga

[Jim62787]

you probably didnt even know that shit did ya ??? And on top of that, Syracus, Louisville, and Marquette are the 3 leading basketball attendance schools in the Big East. Nigga, without ur CUSA teams, the Big East aint shit

[fol2005]

HAHAHAAHAHAH @ the free throws.

[CalipariCurse]

So, what is the Calipari Curse?

Missed free throws.

When the game is on the line, when the heat is turned up, you can count on any team Calipari is coaching to miss free throws.

Beware the missed free throws...

[lilyak1]

Tell'em Again

[hayleyanna09]

fuck ya'll, coach cal and them tigers we're the best college team, that ever lived.

[hayleyanna09]

no, calipari is now the highest paying coach for kentucky. prove me wrong.

[fol2005]

Prove you wrong? Okay. 75-68. 

Kansas beat Memphis.

[trich424]

HaHa. Bill Self completely outcoach Calipari, and Kansas won the game. 75-68. Kansas had 3 losses on the entire season, 1 more than Memphis (and Kansas played in a real conference). The Tigers are products of an easy conference and a slick talking coach.

[Jim62787]

Playing hack-a-shack and fouling with 3 whole minutes left, is out-coaching?? Hitting a miracle lucky shot with seconds ticking down is evidence of a superior team? Fool, all memphis did was out-play Kansas all game, then Choke. How can you be proud of that?

[trich424]

Choosing to foul that early, because you know the other team can't shoot free throws AT ALL is out coaching. And playing the bench so that you're starters aren't dead to start overtime (Rose) is out coaching. National Champs, that's what I'm proud of. And I believe KU had the lead at halftime, so how did Memphis out-play KU all game??? Nice try bitterness. Enjoy obscurity.

[lec901]

Internet Hatin At a All Time High

Yall cant even give props when dey due

[fbcooperman]

sure made those free throws vs kansas

[jared6931]

hahahahahhahaha. Cal is coming to UK! back to the dumps for you tigers! GO CATS!

[lightmyfire321]

@jared6931 back to the dumps? Memphis has never been "in the dumps" your the shit ass team thats been in the dumps for a fucking decade. ignorant bitch. redneck fuckin asshole cock sucker

[BBQkrewe]

well, it's official, Coach Cal is going to Kentucky!!

[WilliamGullett]

eat a dick faggot m town lil bitch boy u really think them gay fake red birds can beat memphis dont make me laugh!!!!!!!!

[seemeinHD]

byee byeee memphissss

your run is over go home now and rebuild so you can play in that shitty conference schedual next year, im so glad louisville is in the big east now, go cards and go big east

[iali00]

Yeah, you bitches just got your asses handed to you by a sorry ass Big Ten school.. Overrated ass conference. Your teams are advancing because they are all seeded high so they are playing the garbage teams. Go Fuck your knee little bird!!!

[seemeinHD]

fuck memphis aint got shit on my city aint got no tradition aint got no coach all he gets his one and dones! where you at memphis losin to a fucking mizzooo school man the big 12 that hurts bro

[Alexsaucedo21]

i think he said "own the net"

[gotigers]

haha seriously does anyone know wtf he said?!

[gotigers]

what does antonio say at :42? anyone know?

[oneeye9426]

He said " Toe lamette" LOL! I don't know what the hell he said.

[jrdicorti]

He said "Tone Lyn, Mass." His nickname and hometown.

[qdhouston]

Like CDR said Memphis got alot of haters just because we in conference USA. But take a look to Michigan State, Mississippi State, UCLA, Texas, they all fell to Memphis last year...respect is due, Memphis shows up to play, if u cant respect that u in a bitch mode 4real

[jamintube]

"Let me ask you something about free throws" .... haha. Yeah, let me ask you how important those are. What do you think now, D-Rose? How about you CDR? Free throws important now?

[all2hood1]

SWEET........ Let's go Memphis.....

[hovi81]

yeahhhhhhhhh let's go time to make that run in 09

[jamintube]

Are all Memphis fans a bunch of fucking babys? Seems like they all forget that Memphis had an opportunity to win it in OT and didn't show up. Rock Chalk, bitches.

[aliky83]

The Memphis tigers sucks Ill give you so many some reasons why yea the record is 31-3 they conference sucks they dont have any good challenge I would feel sorry for them if they face a Big East conference I bet money they will get their asses kicked . the three losses they got was Syracuse, Xavier, Georgetown you guys need to play really good teams

[oobiegirl]

yeah you can go ahead and lick my nuts

[oneeye9426]

I'm a Tigers fan and I agree that our conference is terrible. But we're in that conference and we have to play those teams. Yes we lost to those 3 teams early in the season. The only good teams that we actually beat were Gonzaga and Tennessee. But with all that being said, this is not the BCS. This is college basketball where you get to prove it on the court like we did last year. Talk is cheap. Our conference is weak but it's not our fault we didn't get into a good conference.

[melvinrhodes]

we just got demarcus cousins baby so thats xavier henry demarcus cousins and hopefully if tyreke leaves john wall

[mawoods2]

Thats my school with they cocky asses....lol. We better bring it home da chip this time. Aint much competition compared to last year in da NCAA.

[deanw0rmer]

Did you jerkhawks get Hightower a ring? He sure deserved one

[xva232]

Too bad they couldn't make their free throws during the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP....

[Jim62787]

Too Bad Kansas gave up playing straight ball with them, and resorted to "hack a shaq"

[frostjackMP]

scoreboard

[chipotlelova24]

ROCK CHALK !!!!!!!!!

[deanw0rmer]

I still have nightmares about that game. Ed Hightower you blind bastard Collins was OUT OF BOUNDS when he made that steal!!!

[chipotlelova24]

JEALOUS!!!!!

[CopperRed3]

Let's see dude hits a prayer of a three with D-Rose all over him. Kansas got lucky at the right time. Memphis choked a bit but they were the best team in the tournament. Deal with it!

[CopperRed3]

who would have thought dude would have made that prayer of a 3 pointer

[beastman004]

2:43 tells it all

[steven2be2003]

Doesnt matter if the Tigers were from a weak conference...You gotta respect Memphis because they made history even though they lost in the championship game..But it wasnt a blow out..Memphis Tigers will never be beaten like the teams they beat themselves

[UglyMuggFilms]

who cares what conference memphis is in. we made it to the national title game. the a.c.c. didnt get to the final four..

[frostjackMP]

umm...UNC isn't in the ACC?

Has anybody told them that?

[flamin24]

I AGREE WITH U FENDERGURL234

[fendergurl234]

To the idiots,

Memphis is awesome this year.

It dosent matter if they lost EVERYONE

actually they didnt.

SO GOOOOOOOOOOOO MEMPHIS TIGERS!

[blackbenzmic]

The encore will be a bitch.....Watch Memphis get back to the final 4 this year... If you thought this pass year was a jaw dropping experience wait until you see the '08-'09 edition of the Memphis Tigers....They are scary good...

[mrmanlyman23]

totaly agree

[philoeffler]

r u kidding theyre gunna suck this yr

they lost everyone

[Netburner23]

naw man they still got dozier and antonio anderson and they got tyreke evans coming in

[FVSUWildcat]

Sir, I wish I could agree with you. They have the talent: AA Rob D, Evans, Witherspoon, Sallie, Tag, Mack, kemp, J Rob, (Garcia and Simpkins?), but this team will not gel as well and be as cohesive as last year's. Last year's team had an unbelievable amount of chemistry and unselfishness. It would be unrealistic to say that this team could get back to the F4. They may not even win confrence. If they go to the 16, then consider the season a success. Just keepin it real

[jordaiz]

The one thing that grinds my gears is that before the tournament people said we wouldn't make it to the Sweet 16. How can a team that is ranked in top-5 in points, and top-5 total defense not make it to the Sweet 16? I find that hard to take. UNLV '90 and Memphis '08 are almost exactley alike. Both overlooked and never getting respect because of shithole conferences. What do I say?

FUCK Conferences because conferences don't give a hell. How does a league with good team make you better?!

[fol2005]

Clearly you don't know much about basketball. Going 30-0 in C-USA is a little different than going 30-0 in the ACC

[FJBLproductions]

the acc is a much tougher conference then conference usa but memphis is completely underrated because of that. they blew out ucla, georgetown, texas and michigan state. they made it to the championship and they never lost to a bad team. unc is in a much better conference but they were overranked going into the tournament and they lost to maryland. unc was also much better than duke who was completely overranked but memphis can beat tough teams no matter what conference they are in

[fol2005]

Again, I'm not denying that Memphis wouldn't compete in the other conferences. I'm saying there is no way they win 37 games in the ACC. If they played in the Big 12 or ACC they loose 4-5 games.

Playing in those conferences takes its toll on teams. That's why KU, UNC, UCLA and Texas all dropped a game here or there. It's different competition.

[xxnwaxx1]

Excactly

[happymanvan3]

1:25, CDR says "We've never lost a game from a free throw" and Rose says "So what's all that talk".

Can't get any more ironic than that

[te444]

well free throws did lose them one game - The NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

[philoeffler]

1:30 "weve never lost a game cause of three throws"

well yea u guys did

[jordaiz]

3:13-3:15 was awesome. Looking at them jersey numbers and remembering them forever.

[jordaiz]

Antonio Anderson: "We play the best teams in college and we beat 'em."

Lol, right on boy!

[sportsfreak245]

If Memphis would have made there free throws mario chalmers miracle shot wouldn't have mattered

[JayhawkertillIDie]

they didnt dosche bag....stop makin complaints

[mrage4201]

the free throws did not cost them. mario draining a miracle 3 and no dorsey in ot cost them. congrats to kansas, but GO TIGERS!

[generalnutcase101]

Ummm, yeah they did, if they made AT LEAST 1 more, Mario's shot wouldn't be nearly as big as it was.

[TVC17]

My favorite tiger team of all time...

[FVSUWildcat]

Probably the best Tiger team of all time. I wonder who would win between these Tigers and the ones who made it to the '73 title game. With and without the 3-pt shot. and with and without the 40-sec shot clock. or was it 45?

[deanw0rmer]

you haters are idiots.... they beat oklahoma, usc,uconn,georgetown,arizona,g­onzaga,miss state, michigan st, texas and ucla.... not to mention they beat uab and houston twice ...two teams that beat kentucky's ass....if you had any sense you would respect...but we know you are all a bunch of dumbfucks....we dont want or need your respect anymore....we are an elite program in college hoops ....so put that in your pipe and smoke it!!!

[fol2005]

Sorry but your not.

You might play a couple of good teams. But C-USA is a joke. 35 of your 40 games were jokes.

[TVC17]

You are a idiot.Memphis goes to championship game and loses a heartbreaker f- you tiger haters..

[deanw0rmer]

You are full of shit. We beat Michigan State, Texas and UCLA as bad as we beat the CUSA teams. Tulsa, Houston and UAB are good teams. You're just a fucking idiot hater who doesnt know anything about basketball.

[fol2005]

Okay so I said you played 5 hard teams, and you tell me I am full of shit, by naming 3 teams?

You can't really think you had just as hard of schedule as UCLA, UNC, and Kansas do you?

[deanw0rmer]

what differnece does it make we played the hardest schedule in the tournament...we made it to the final 2.... we beat the fuck out of michigan st, texas and ucla ....all in a row...now tell me who unc and ucla beat all year and compare... now shut the fuck up you sound like an sec fan

[fol2005]

I'm a Kansas fan.

I'm not denying Memphis was a good ball team. BUT, out of all 4 final 4 teams, Memphis BY FAR had the weakest schedule.

Not to mention the weakest conference ( ACC, Big 12, PAC 10, ......C-USA.......)

[FVSUWildcat]

I'm a Memphis fan and you are probably right. I would even go so far as to say they had the weakest schedule of the teams in the sweet 16. But just give C-USA some time. Teams like UAB, Houston, and UTEP are going to surprise a lot of people next year.

[volsarebest]

u need to check that their rpi was ranked #3 and they blew through ucla. texas and mich st. and it took kansas a miracle...this is not osu of football memphis actually beat the best

[Sabretooth101]

If RPI means anything, Memphis didnt play the weakest schedule. Regardless, Memphis rolled through the tournament in much the same way they rolled through the season.

[KingmanIII]

Did you even bother to check their non-conference schedule? They beat Oklahoma, Connecticut, Austin Peay, Southern Cal, Georgetown (Big East regular season champion), Arizona, and Gonzaga, all NCAA tournament participants, not to mention the defeat of Mississippi State and the destruction of Michigan State, Texas and UCLA. They would've finished top 2-3 in ANY league, if not as conference champions.

[fol2005]

Seriously. I said 30 of your games were jokes, and all anyone has said is "No we had a hard schedule (naming 4-5 teams)"

All that is doing is proving my point.

By the way: Oklahoma? Austin Peay? Gonzaga?

[KingmanIII]

Not a Memphis fan.

Nobody's debating that the new CUSA is a joke. What is being speculated is just how well they would've done in a major conference, and judging by their OOC and tourney wins over some of the best teams from those conferences I think they would've still come out at worst a 3 seed. Just looking at them play, you knew they had the talent to run with ANYONE in the NCAA, regardless of conference, like Jerry Tarkanian's UNLV squads of the '80s and '90s (who played in the Big West).

[fol2005]

I'll agree with that.

All I am saying is that if Memphis played in the Big 12, ACC, or PAC-10, there is no way they win 38 games.

[KingmanIII]

Not those three, no. My guess is maybe 30-4 in the regular season (UNC went 32-2, KU and UCLA went 31-3), or 31-3 in the Big East/Big Ten/SEC. Another team or two would've have taken advantage of those missed FTs (hell, UAB almost beat them in the regular season and MSU almost knocked them out of the tourney).

[nickgators]

free throws hurt eM in the championship

[MemphsGeorgetwnFreak]

i luv memphis.... although i wish that CDR and Derrick Rose would come back... congrats and i'll b cheering 4 their NBA teams.. GO MEMPHIS!!

[BigboyHollywood]

Go Tigers!!! We'll take it next season!!!

[damzionIsBack]

yeh rite!!. tigers are fucking shit cunts

[volsarebest]

anyone heard about the other mcdonalds all americans memphis tried to recruit?

[westendmed]

Yea....they got them.

[volsarebest]

they got tyreke evans 1 of them but what about devin ebanks the other mcdonalds all american

[westendmed]

They got Witherspoon. At this point, without Evans on board, they have 5 top 60 Rivals players signed. With Evans, they will have 6 Rivals Top 60 players. Basically Memphis is loaded with top 60 rivals players, both starting and on the bench. Robinson, Taggart, Kemp and Mack were are Rivals Top 50 players. Memphis has RELOADED!! Evans says he will announce on May 9, after his Memphis visit.

[DannyAndTheMiracles]

"We never lost a game because of free throws" - CDR

"When they need to be made, we make them" - Antonio Anderson

LOL!!!!!!

[chipotlelova24]

the only reason they had that may wins was because their confrence sucks!!!!!

[jordaiz]

We'll be back. Tyreke Evans is going to own everybody.

Guess what..Fuck Kansas, lol.

[misssuthernscorpio]

YayErSz!! Iam So Proud Of Them They Are Still Number One!! CongratsZ To Derrick Rose and Chris Douglas- Roberts On Being Drafted To The NBA yay!!!! They Are Living Proof that AnyThing Is Possible As Long As You Belive in Your self and know you can do it!!! YAY TIGERS!!!!!

[terp5023]

God bless my boyz! They will be back again. I enjoyed this season with my favorite team.

[morpheous3113]

Memphis still loves the tigers!!!!! awesome season cant wait for next year!

[mistercoffee79]

Go Tigers..great season!!!

[rashadelliott]

Memphis Tigers 38 wins!!!!!!!!

[justintimberlake101]

cdr is hot and a great player

n derrick rose is unbelievable

go memphis

[memphistigersfan1]

They lost so what. Chances are that Memphis and Kansas beat your favorite team on the road to the championship. Give kansas credit for winning the game. Memphis was up 9 nine points with two minutes left. Memphis misses four free throws. Maybe a lack of defense and Kansas will to win lost Memphis the game.

[jajeeah]

actually im a kansas fan :P

[damzionIsBack]

fuck tha shit cunt tigers

[jajeeah]

this makes me giggle cuz they lost the championship cuz their crappy freethrows

[volsarebest]

im was rootin 4 them but u cant get no respect up 9 with 1 min and some seocnds left and lose that pissed me off hopefully rose and roberts are back

[BourneCubed]

I think they had too much respect from the media after beating Texas and UCLA. People started to jump on the bandwagon, yet still it was a fact that memphis was not a good FT shooting team and hadn't had to make them down the stretch. This is the coaches fault for not getting on them during the season to focus w/ free throws. They were more than capable, but when you make a habit of missing, it will come back to bite you like it did in the title game.

[Flyrer21]

well it did come down to the free throws at the end of the game and the didnt hit em but they still dont get the respect they deserve. ive seen plenty of really good teams miss freethrows at the end of a game and choke.May Come as a shocker but this aint the first time it happened.

[generalnutcase101]

While the tigers had a GREAT season, sorry to tell you, YOU DID LOSE THE GAME THX TO FREE THROWS

[Mustybug1]

GO TIGERS GO!!!

[mrage4201]

GO TIGERS!

[kfizzle18]

memphis taking it all the way!! big win for the memphis tigers tonite against kansas!!!

[damzionIsBack]

im gonna bet on this game. how confident are u of the tigers? the line is -1.5 u think tigers will win by more definelty?

[damzionIsBack]

fuck u reply to me!!!

[damzionIsBack]

fuck u mofucka and the shitty tigers. there so fucking shit 8 point lead and still manage to lose. hope rose never gets drafted and dies in a car crash or even better drowns in lake

[Powerhouse233]

They're a great team, but college basketball is watered down. They wouldn't stand a chance against a team like 82' North Carolina.

[breakfastisready]

You couldn't be more wrong.

Like every sport college basketball gets better each decade....

[breakfastisready]

That's a tight bunch of friends.

If they win on monday - they could be considered the best ever!!!! They've already won more games than anybody ever....

[NRGT6]

what is name of the song that starts at 01:17?
