Official SMU - ECU Game Thread

Next game is versus Tulane next Wednesday at Moody.

Really hoping for a better turnout, this team deserves it.

Defense no doubt won that game. It kept SMU in the game until the O started to hit some buckets. After the stretch where we allowed ECU to get 3 offensive rebounds in a row, we dominated on the D boards. The lack of second opportunities shut down ECU's chance when that happened.

It all started with Defense and ended with great FT shooting.

Great game. This turnaround has been very impressive.

ECU went 3-19 in the second half......I think the guys should take some of the credit for that.

Papa Dia 20th time he's been in double digits in points and 10th time in double digits in rebounds.

He should have been doing this last year, but I'm just glad he's playing at the level we thought we could and more importantly, he could.

Dia did do this last year. We just didn't get him the ball as much, in the right spots. He's our best big since Poerner. Our most skilled big since Poerner is Vilde

Great win. A fantastic day for football and basketball. Nice to feel this way after pitiful results for decades.

Perhaps one day "top 25 in everything we do" won't be such a far-fetched idea. And by everything I mean... football and basketball.

wow, great game by the guys! sounds like they showed a lot of fight in the second half to gut this one out.

Great job Mustangs! Fun day to be an SMU fan.

It is so good to see us in third place in the conference at the halfway point.

Frog is quietly making a bid for the CUSA all-frosh team. Another big 10 pts, 4 dimes, 3 boards and only 2 T.O's

Yea!!! Hugs all around. Grind it out when you can't hit a barn.

For those from out of town. Weather is till cold as can be - schools were closed today. Not many wanted to get out tonight - it's cold!!!

Singing day turnout was poor.

Tulane revenge!!!

by **ponyte** » Wed Feb 02, 2011 10:24 pm

Hear hear, Tulane revenge. And this time I hope we come out strong and not wait over 30 minutes to play.

Since I am exiled out to west Texas at the moment and have to listen to the radio (video feed not good) I can't take another close game. I feel a blowout win would be much more agreeable.
