Official Game #1 Thread: SMU vs. TCU

[ALEX LIFESON]

Thrilled to win, but disappointed in our performance. Poor f/t shooting, turnovers, and sloppy play against a short handed and inexperienced TCU team.

Really? I thought we looked pretty good. The talent is obvious. This was the first game these guys have played together and it will take a while.

LB just said the same thing in his postgame interview.

Hard to disagree. So many missed shots. Easily could have been 15-20 at one point.

We definitely have a lot to work on but I'm encouraged considering it's the first game

Shooting - inconsistent.
Passing - not good when playing fast
Interior D - good
Perimeter D - needs serious work. We got of screens well but never challenged the outside shot
Rebounding - will get better

Overall, I liked what I saw from this team that has never really played competitively with each other. We can and will improve as the season goes on.

By the way, Colorado is bad

Disappointed with new post guys - they were soft and clumsy.

Otherwise pretty ok. We will be over 500.

It's funny to hear the football apologist criticize this team. It's one game and we beat Big XII team.

Boy they are really not calling charges.

New rule takes charging almost out of the game.

good recruiting raises expectations-and results
