OFFICIAL GAME 10 THREAD: TCU vs. SMU

[Arkpony]

I think this margin of win is the largest even under Nic!

[CalallenStang]

Pretty easy to be undefeated when you only play dead presidents and the little sisters of the poor

[deucetz]

Didn't they do the same thing last year or a couple of years ago?

yea i think they started out like 14-0, then conference started and might have gone 1-17

They are trying to use the same formula as their Football program.

What i don't think should be overlooked is that the Bush's took the former PM david cameron to the smu game and not the mavs game tonight.

[Topper]

I missed the technical on Dixon. What happened?

[Terry Webster]

tcu is going to do pretty well in conference. While they won't challenge for top tier, I bet they end up near 500.

[hoopmanx]

really balanced effort, where lots of kids stepped up. Almost all our role guys had excellent games

[Pony81]

I thought TCU had a pretty decent team. We just answered every time they got a little run going. And our D was smothering. They just never got any rhythm .

Jank's press really through them off stride. They couldn't get their O going when crossing mid court with 18ish seconds remaining.

[hoopmanx]

Jank buried Dixon on the bench tonight.

[Pony81]

BTW: Ben E was fantastic. His defense and agressive play really made a difference tonight. He looked like the Ben E of old.

More than 18...crossing with less than 20 remaining is a violation

But I agree, Jank outcoached Dixon. TCU has some talent but they had a Plan A and that was it. Once it was taken away, they had nothing.

[Pony81]

I agree with Hoop. Jank totally out coached Dixon.

[Terry Webster]

Is it just me, or does McDowell look like he is going to be a really good defensive stopper against other teams point guards.

[sadderbudweiser]

Random stuff:

We shot 30 free throws tonight. The refs may have helped us a bit and a few were ticky tack but many were from attacking the basket. First time this season we've been that active around the basket. 23/30 will win you alot of games.

We had five turnovers tonight against a very aggresive defensive team. Their TWO point guards had six turnovers between them. The whole point guard thing is over-rated if this team plays the way they can.

Shake was great handling the ball tonight. He went to the hoop well and he fought off tremendous pressure down the stretch But he shot best playing away from the point. We can give opponents many different looks...we just need to execute...and finish. Finishing was weak at times.

That little press was fantastic. We played great D tonight.

Those announcers sure liked TCU.

I hope Tom is able to get some minutes soon and find a place in the rotation.
