SMU

[Bearcat_NTS]

SMU is a top 10 offensive team. We are holding them to 0.85 PPP.

Outside of Cobb's first minutes, has he been back in? I don't think I've seen him.

Cobb been in and out all Game just only got one shot

 

[Mcginnjw]

You why this team is so frustrating? Because even though we haven't shot well, this game still shows how good they can be at times, and they just don't show up in every game. They're playing their hearts out right now.

Yeah we are playing well because we not turning the ball over, going to the rim, and getting deflections. The inconsistency has been disappointing. Good first half though.

They show up all the time. They play hard and get after it. The problem is they are not a very athletic team. they are not fast high flyers who make a lot of splash plays. They are grinders. I would like that to change but it won't happen this year.

We're shooting 26.5% and winning by 7...

It's games like this where it's easy to demonstrate the power of defense.

Just 1 TO this whole game and that was on a rare rare Troy travel

Exactly. That is what we do. People want this team to be something we are not. We are grinders. Many don't like it but that is who we are. Hope it changes going forward but as you have pointed out many times until we are able to recruit that kind of player it won't happen.

I will be very disappointed if we settle for a ton of early shot clock jump shots this half. Ben Moore has 2 fouls, Sterling Moore has 2 fouls, #10 Foster has 2 fouls and Markus Kennedy has 3 fouls. We need to get those guys out of the game. Stay on the attack! Please!

I agree, if we keep attacking we have a really good chance.

We've been told that we're moving towards recruiting that way for years now. Convo for another day though.

 

[jacobkdoyle]

Must finish this thing strong.

you don't think Mick is trying to get those types of players?

 

[jacobkdoyle]

He has been.

 

[WAITE HOYT 2]

He has been.

We need to keep going inside this game.

 

[Mcginnjw]

Clark is struggling....we need Ellis, Evans, and Troy to drag this team to the finish.

 

[Doogle]

It was about time to Ellis to decide to stop playing defense. And continue his string of 2 footers clanging off the front rim. On the plus side, UC has been at their best when he's been active. Needs to start it up again.

 

[WAITE HOYT 2]

TC needs to pick it up here. Him or Clark need to get to the rim. Also if Cobb is going to play Moore he needs to stay in front of him

 

[justinhub2003]

I hate how tense I get when we get a 7 or larger point lead.

 

[WAITE HOYT 2]

On cue. TC!!!

 

[Mcginnjw]

We have to hit our free throws down the stretch.

KJ got to guard Moore
