Jank made a mistake not calling a timeout.
Outside of that we lost because: - At the end of the first half we started missing open threes and lost our confidence - We couldn't hit shots to put USC away, and every time they came back and hit a three. - In the first half we missed open threes, they missed open corners three. The second half they made those open shots. - When Ben got in foul trouble and had to sit, USC switched to a 2-3 zone and we didn't have anyone show at the foul line. We swung the ball around the perimeter and never broke it down and were stagnant. Semi showed once and scored. But outside of that it didn't happen. - Once Ben and Semi got 3 fouls, USC went at us hard and got a bunch of easy, uncontested buckets. - Shake shrunk from the limelight and our seniors made pretty much their first mistakes all season.
It wasn't our day. We screwed up the last play by not calling timeout. But we didn't lose because of Jank.

After it was clear that they stayed in zone and we were bricking threes and Coach J adjusted to more inside plays. We didn't hit the free throws down the stretch. And in close games free throws win and lose games. Their guys rarely missed. Maybe next year.
UNC better keep that Ram away from Peruna

Jank is playing with 6 guys. (As I stated somewhere else) Jank has no true big's, no true Point guards against a very good team. When USC went into a zone game they changed the game. SMU needed at least one true big (probably two) to beat the zone. Had I been coaching against SMU I would have gone with a zone from any game in the year. I don't know why anyone would play SMU man to man. Jank did an amazing job with what he had. I WOULD HAVE PICKED HIM AS COACH OF THE YEAR. Oh I guess AAC feels the same way.

I said I would go in any game against SMU with a zone; I would mask a zone with a man to man. But I would start the game playing a mix defense. The fact that that didn't happen is a compliment to Jank.

They had the length and speed to cover the 3s. That's where our lack of size hurt.

Everyone talking about not taking a timeout at the end of the game is interesting. The radio crew said we were out of TOs. In fact they said it before USC made their last points and again as SMU was running the ball down for our last shot. You can't get on Jank for not calling a TO when he didn't have one left.
SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

Radio crew was wrong I think. In the stadium it showed us with 3 timeouts left if I recall.

They are usually pretty good about keeping up with things like that so maybe I just miss understood what they were saying, but the comment was made as it being a problem.

USC player said that two SMU players were arguing over who would take the last shot. So a timeout may have possibly helped. It is at the 13:01 minute mark in the video. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=atTNb7d6vF8

Painful video on the SMU side (after SC interview). Jank explains his no timeout philosophy, and he came across very well.

USC was out of timeouts. We had 3 left. Not taking a timeout backfired on him this time, but the thinking is if your guys know what to do it is better not to take a timeout so that the other team cannot properly set up their defense.

What if your team is arguing about who takes the last shot? Just saying.
