More from Rothstein:


"3. Tim Jankovich has kept SMU nationally relevant

You never want to be the guy that follows the guy in sports, but Jankovich is the guy that wound up following Larry Brown as head coach of the Ponies and the Hall of Famer’s shadow hasn’t fazed him for a minute.

Despite only having seven available scholarship players, Jankovich has coached SMU to a 17-4 record through 21 games with a strong 7-1 mark in conference play.

The Ponies don’t have a traditional low-post scorer, but Jankovich has used a lineup consisting of interchangeable pieces to his benefit.

With no true point guard or center on the roster, SMU has become a team that’s hard to guard on offense and extremely versatile on defense. The Ponies switch every ball screen and haven’t allowed more than 70 points in a game since losing at Boise State in late November.

Jankovich isn’t a self promoter and is perfectly fine being unassuming while guys like Shake Milton and Semi Ojeleye get most of the ink.

His cadence on the sidelines is one of the major reasons why SMU is still relevant in college basketball and is in position to play in the NCAA Tournament for the second time in three seasons."

I want to know who was the guy that said Foster's talent was worth the knee injury risk. That guy made a heck of a call.

KT Turner to thank for that great call I believe.

not at all. Marland Lowe and a another AAU head in Houston pleaded w KT and then LB. It wasnt our scout and we spent no time on it.

Reading that American article helps me realize that Jank saw that the team burned out last year. He is working hard to make sure that the guys have simpler practice between games. Love to see what a 5 on 0 practice is.

@SethDavisHoops
SMU has dudes

@SethDavisHoops
Semi Ojeleye is the best player in the American. Not close.

@JonRothstein
SMU again shows why defense is the key to beating good teams. Ponies held Cincinnati to 51 in a nine-point win. Took away interior offense.

@JonRothstein
Semi Ojeleye. You should have bought stock a long time ago.
