According to Enfield, that was the first time they used that lineup all year. Will they use it against SMU? Guess it depends on if the height advantage on O outweighs the speed disadvantage on D.

Excellent!

That's the game right there. Whichever team shoots best from three-point range will probably have enough of an edge to win.

A little off topic but this tweet about Semi made me laugh:

Didnt we turn the ball over 24 times when we played them last? And they shot 50% from 3. It was still a 5pt game. How was it that close given those 2 stats?

USC only shot 14-26 from the FT line against us in the first game

I feel about this game the same way I did when we played Cinn in Dallas. I have great confidence that we are going to win, and easily. Go to it Ponies! Do your job!

BOK will be rockin with SMU fans and the MBand. While USC's band and cheer will be present, I'm not seeing 5K Trojan supporters there.

Possible overconfidence. But I hope you are right.
