SMU being SMU to end the half. Lousy play.

Same old story, we keep launching threes and close the half 0/4 from 3. We really need to play more disciplined.

True. I wasn't challenging you — just offering full-game view for context.

We are 1/5 since. I'm not so worried about a small snapshot and understand you go hot and cold at different points in the game. However, knowing game situations is important too. When you are up 9-10+ points, you don't need to launch 3s as you are up. You need to play great defense, make lots of great passes to find the open man, and that helps consume clock for the possession without actually worrying about consuming clock which tends to have detrimental effects. Good shooters that are open should be shooting 3s, but too often our offense consists of a fast break that ends with any one of our players shooting a wild 3 with the other team recovering the rebound only to capitalize on a fast break that ends with a layup or dunk and the and 1.

36-24 rebound edge and FTs aren't shabby at 69%.

11-5 scoring run stretches SMU lead to 72-62 with 4:09 left
