Official SMU vs. Gonzaga Thread

[hoopmanx]

Board and defend the perimeter. Lots of long boards

[PonyTime]

We will know where this is headed in the first 5 min of 2nd half...

[Rebel10]

Against teams like Gonzaga SMU will almost need 3 bigs on the floor.

didnt watch the first half, but seems like by the comments Keith's bein' Keith. Just a walking TO machine. Tries to be too flashy all the time.

Not all of those are really on Keith....

KF is not the reason SMU is losing. SMU is getting pounded on the boards.

[Hoop Fan]

between the lack of rebounding and Nic being passive, we sure dont look hungry or have a chip on our shoulder about the NCAA snub. Missing MK hurts, but i sort of thought we would come out breathing fire this year. Missing Nick Russells leadership i think right now.

Silver Lining to First Half:

Gonzaga Test won't count on Markus Kennedy's GPA

[skyscraper]

it just got worse.... first take & skip bayless during halftime

[Big12Mustang]

Nic needs to step up and lob some 3s.

[PonyTime]

Why the f are they talking women's hoop in the halftime report?!

Are you happy now? They are now talking Duke basketball. I think I would rather hear about the women's teams...

[fifty]

People treating smu like we're 90s Bulls. I think this game will actually end up being invaluable as a timely reality check.

This isn't a matter of missing MK. Their ball movement is getting them wide open 3s, most boards are long. If Keith isn't going to provide shooting, he's providing nothing. Basically, they are playing considerably better defense than we are
