SMU - AAC Finals

[BCM]

Give smu d some credit...

I want to know how basically all our players shit the bed at the same time. They weren't even going full uconn on us, no boatright, no napier, just got schooled

Huh? Why? Did you see how many wide open looks we missed? Come on now. I mean I guess they rebounded well against us but their best D was us missing wide open shots.

Exactly, we didn't shot great last time we played them either. There might be a reason

Exactly. Their defense consisted of them collapsing on the guy with the ball at any time, since we had players standing around who weren't going to be catching any backdoor passes. It was incredibly predictable

Would be nice to win something atleast once every 10 years or so

We did just fine @SMU until 10 mins left in the game. I think he problem is the guys we rely on to carry us offensively don't react well in big games sometimes.

We are not a great jump shooting team. They forced us to shoot jump shots by tightening the lane and collapsing under the hoop. Not that hard to understand if you watched.

That's a bail out statement. If UC had been hitting the same wide open shots that they missed we would be saying, "Wow UCs offense looked really good and SMUs defense was horrible".

Is there a more depressing sports city than Cincinnati? I honestly can't think of one.

Do you think they're terrible? They are 30-4

No

Can't play a SG who doesn't score a single point for 30 minutes if you want to make up a double digit deficit.

Oh I understand lol. Your saying we aren't a good jumpshooting team but we have I believe 4 guys who shoot better than 32% from 3. That's good enough in college basketball

Didn't say terrible, I'm just not impressed. I think UC is the more talented team. Could be a matchup issue or just timing when it comes to missing shots. I watched the entire game like most of you did. There D didn't suffocate us, we missed wide open looks.

At this point KJ has been useless

San Diego? But at least they have the weather.

 

[cincyguy13]

We didn't show up. Got within 7 a couple times but it wasn't even that close in the 2nd half. Depressing

 

[jacobkdoyle]

Brooks getting stronger and being able to play vs any type of team next year could be a huge key.

Yeah I was really disappointed with Cronin's rotations. Jenifer played zero minutes and he was complaining about assists.

Is it? What did smu shoot from the three today?
