Official Game 25 Thread: SMU vs. Temple

[PonyLawExpress]

Cant believe we won by double-digits with Shake and Jarrey playing so poorly. Really speaks to how good this team is. Semi had an unreal night. 30-10 in unbelievable. Ben and Sterling on the glass too. Pumped for Sunday.

Semi could be like a 1st or 2nd team All-American if he comes back next year and keeps getting better. Which could make him some money.

Glad we won!

Was Dashawn hurt? I know I shouldn't look too much into the future but I feel our depth is going to hurt us if he can't give at least 10 to 15 minutes during march

Yep. Concussion protocol.

Would really like him and Gu to get alot of mins against Tulane, which sandwiches Cincy and UH.

Golden age of SMU Basketball ! We expect to beat Temple on the road and get stressed out when they climb within 6 in the 2nd half.

I must have survivor's syndrome ( having lived through the 20 years when we couldn't win on the road and were horrible during the doh years) where I overly appreciate a road win.

But love this team.

"Survivor's Syndrome" Love It!

Anyone that has followed SMU sports from DP till now definitely has survivors syndrome. I was worried about this game but this team has their sh*t together!
Can't wait till Sunday.

seems like there are usually only 2-3 times a game where we drag due to tiredness but generally we are strong to the finish in most every game

Big difference between this year and last year. Defensive intensity is much better this season.

Jank needs some serious props for having this team ready and hungry and winning, night in and night out.

[Stallion]

hey that reminds me-that was Jank's 30th win

30-4. Not too bad

[SmooBoy]

Maybe mentioned earlier, but why was the camera so off-center? Really weird angles all night.

[LA_Mustang]

I think the biggest difference between this year and last is that Jank is not killing our guys in practice. As much as I love LB, he just could not help himself from pushing everyone in practice. Practice, yeah, I'm talkin bout practice.

This is the best team we've had in the LB/Jank era.

if we only had a few more options off the bench

Other than the scare when Temple pulled to within 6 in the 2nd half, our guys controlled this game from the time they pulled away from that 14 all tie

we're up to #14 nationally in defensive efficiency. It's beautiful to watch...

The play that really sticks out is when Temple passed the ball around to "open" shooters like 3 or 4 times and each time our guys closed out in a broken down stance. Just stone-walled 'em

[JoeKidd]

Watching both this year and last year's game at Temple on TV it seems like their rims are really stiff and we shoot terribly there. Glad our D was on point and Semi had a monster game to carry us offensively.

I was thinking this the other day. I really think this is the best team we have had. Not a knock on the last two years squads, but this team is really special. If we just had one more body would be huge. Next years team could also be equally specially if Semi and Shake are back.

This team is on a mission though.
