Nevermind. I just saw a 98-77 score on SportsCenter. The Ponies aren't very good. I think its a bottom half of the WAC finish even though I think, other than Tulsa, the WAC is weak. This team is not too good nor is its coaching.

did the game go tonight?

Gosh- If we are to compare against Shumate, ALL coaches would be good. Dement's a genius. Unfortunately, Shu is not the benchmark. I don't know if we should consider firing Dement or not. He is an excellent recruiter which, I believe, will be demonstrated even more this year without Tubbs to take ...

I know very little about Tubbs coaching ability. No head jobs since high school many years ago. People seem to give him all the credit for Dallas recruiting but we only had one Dallas player on the team when Dement got here so I'm not even sure that point is really valid (although I think his ...

The problem is that Dement has changed since he came. He once ran a five man offense that featured screens (both high and low) and movement. Passes were fast with dribbling confined to one bounce to get a better angle to pass. Skip passes were common. Now we see a three man game with 2 players ...

Tonight was the last time we beat someone with a dominating post player!!!!!!!!!!!Great 2nd half Ponies!!!BHop came alive in 2nd half but still way too many TO's vs assists. PSimp, Castro, Q, and the I Man were all sensational. Kelley, Lowe and theRack all gave good time too. Good team win.

IF we see some passing and movement by all 5 players, Q will break out tonight. Offensively, we need to work for good shots ie (no dribbling,quick passing and an occasional skip pass) and take it to Keep. He has a tendency to back away defensively (maybe he saves his fouls for offense). This needs ...

I have been a Dement supporter until this year. I'm really disappointed in the lack of basics this team exhibits. We play a 3 man game on offense with way too much dribbling and standing around. This isn't the way Dement coached his first years here. Defensively, we can't defend the 3 because we ...

If Fran is being run off at Lobo U because he can't win, what makes you think he can do better here? The Lobos usually recruit better than SMU(that has somewhat evened up since Dement arrived at SMU), has incredible fan support (read huge home court advantage), spend big bucks on coaches and ...

Thank you for the analysis my friendly physically challenged bantam. I think this game may depend on how quick Keep is vs Castro. If Castro can get the charge calls, we could win this one. Otherwise, I like your plan to hack and grab to keep Keep from keepin' on.

You may be right about Dement but I want someone to give us a couple of "realistic choices". Lon is NOT one. Name a coach who has a big or mediocre name who will come to a school with old facilities, no tradition, no fans and no money for basketball. If someone can give us some realistic ...

gone for good. No connection for the past 3 days.

Fran really isn't a very good coach. Would you really rather have Fran than Mike D.? Not me.

Please tell me why Lonnie Kruger would come to SMU. We have little to sell to a name coach. No fans(OK 2000),old facilities, mediocre conference, little money support for anything but football, no tradition and somewhat restricted recruiting. Sounds like the kind of job that ALL the big names would ...

Lonnie coached at K State. It was the last time they were decent. There is no hope for SMU to get him. He will have many college options to go where basketball is supported, appreciated and loved by more than 2000 people. While I agree that Dement isn't getting it done with his 3 man offense, I'm ...
