Official NCAA Tourney Thread: SMU vs. USC

[SoCal_Pony]

all this time and energy over the past several months just to get kicked in the gut

[Mustangsabu]

We couldn't solve the zone for the whole second half. A couple of big buckets kept us in it but we were letting it slip away the whole half.

Gutted.

definition of what it's like to be an smu fan

i'm a falcons fan too

We essentially lost at Moody. There was no USC fans at the game. My God just awful way to play.

Jank got out coached. I didn't realize this was his first NCAA tourney game. Why not call a timeout with 10 seconds left and run a set play?

As I posted before the game, reminds me of the UCLA matchup.

credit where credit due...USC is just a better team than we are. Beat us at their place and on a neutral court

Usc sucks. They barely made the tournament

Just amateur hour for the last minute +. No excuse.

This is why i would have rather played Providence. Whoever said that this would be an easy win for SMU was wrong.

USC is not a better team. Our guys absolutely choked. We should not have let it get that close. Exactly what I feared happened. I knew we needed to win the first game semi-comfortably and then we would be able to go deep in the tournament.

That's what I noticed today. P5 competition is a whole other level.

yep, I didn't want to post it, but it was UCLA all over again

[PonyPatrol]

The zone froze us and completely out coached in the second half. No need to play that last shot to the buzzer when we're in the bonus. God that's painful.

I cannot even watch any more basketball

We had our chances.

Great season Mustangs.
