because you can't get into the running game with memphis... they are way too athletic!!!

doesn't mean you can't take a "gimme" when it is staring you in the face. I understand we don't want to make it a track meet against them.

I agree. Even w/our methodical half-court approach, you need to push when numbers present themselves

[therack]

what gimme are you talking about? we had pretty much no fast break opportunities against them...

[Charleston Pony]

good way to finish, but I still don't like the fact that we REFUSE to take a fast break gimme when given the opportunity. Memphis can crash the offensive boards all day long because we won't make them pay for it. We had 4 on 2 and pulled it up

[therack]

9 turnovers at the half hurts us and their 3-point shooting... other than that, we are beating them in every other statistical category! we need a great start of the second half and continue staying in the game!

[PonyDoh]

also, make email shoot jumpers. He wants to slash, so stop the ball

[therack]

first 4 minutes will be huge!!!

[therack]

awesome start to the second half... 7-1 run by SMU and we are up by one...

[PonyDoh]

Win or lose, everybody we play is being forced into our tempo right now. At the very least, that's encouraging.
