What do we need to do in order to win tonight.

I am not an expert in basketball. I don't know how to analyze to teams in order to determine keys to success. What needs to be done for SMU to get a "W" tonight?

Offensively, the less three's we shoot the better. it is an indication of how aggressive we are offensively. We have size advantages on their guards, so we should drive a bit. If we shoot over 15 threes, that means trouble because we are settling for poor shots.

We also have to play a strong defensive game. This is the game where we will see if we have really improved out team defense from last year. If the Mustangs play strong defensively, they rise up from being a good team to a very good team. If we can hold Tennessee in the 70's, I think we are in good shape. More than that and we are in trouble...

I think our weak point will be the center position. That is our weakness and their strength. Nigel, Jibran, and DeWayne will have to play awesome. Can't wait. This is the most excited I have been since 9-2-2000!

UPSET!
