Official SMU/Tulane thread

Doherty should get the keys to the city.

Our tough defense coupled with our Princeton offense frustrates everyone we play.

Get a couple of players that can actually put it in the basket...and its GO TIME!!!!!!!!!

The announcers are fantastic. Like they expected a beautiful game vs SMU, just chock full of scoring. We can muddy up a game w/the best of them. Win ugly baby

Listen to the Tulane announcer for the last minute and I really like the guy. Facts and some slang but very accurate. It was easy to follow the game based on his description. Nice job.

I am with you..this Tulane play by play guy is pretty good.

Say what you want about SMU. but our defense is pretty good...We hold everyone we play under their average...

but we need to do a better job on the defensive boards

Rebounding out of a loose and flying zone is a tough order...by definition, you will give up offense rebounds...BUT...yes they get the board...and they get frustrated and miss again..then we go down and run the clock down and get a nice back cut...

Very frustrating...and a great mix...Doherty has figured it out...NOW..if he can just recruit.

Anyone just checking out the score, 25-17 SMU at the half.

Play by play guy sounds like someone who covers Rice baseball. Smart, informed but low budget broadcast.

By Tulane ticket counting standards, there must be 20,000 in the stands tonight.

I wish we could get that kind of brief but succinct description. Not huge detail but certainly enough to get a flavor of the play.

Nothing against our guys it is just I can follow the Tulane guy better.

Haha that made me chuckle.

Doherty has a pretty good plan...Our defense is terrific....no matter who we play, we hold them WAAY below their average.......

Offense, that is a different plan...it is nice to hold the ball to the end of the shot clock...but you have to put it in the basket.

Need better players. I like Doh's system...just need better talent running it.

Tulane maintains good spacing and is getting to most of the "long" boards; that's always a challenge you face going against Conroy coached team

[shadowman]

OK SMU....second half starting...don't blow the lead like we have done so many times....

GO PONIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not a good start. Turnover and easy bucket attempt.

Not a great night for Williams as he heads to the bench with four fouls.

28-21 SMU so they are making a run at us
