11-2 @ first timeout. Four minutes played, four turnovers. For the matter, more turnovers than points. If you picked the 'under' for the number of minutes until we a) dropped a pass down low; b) bricked a 3; c) had to foul to stop a breakaway dunk, you one.
OOps! Another turnover as I'm finishing typing this.

Well, the first half is almost halfway over. Because of the magnitude of playing a top five opponent, I will take the time to give everyone an accounting of each SMU basket to this point, which follows:
An eight-footer within the first minute to give SMU a 2-0 lead.
Thus concludes the accounting of each SMU basket to this point.
Enough for me. Be safe traveling home, Ponies.

33-22 at half. Not good, but not embarrassing either. Bamba doing some good things again, Hopkins ok too, everybody else has to pick it up big time.

I believe it was 21-2 at one point, so 20-12 us after that. Bamba looks good.

You must admit that we havn't seen shot plocking like this in a log time. Give Bamba credit. He has game for a freshman that has not played at all in elven games this year. That is promising.

the kids hae not been able to play together as a team all season and that hurts

Although this team continues to appear dis-jointed, in fairness to Tubbs, he only has four of his recruits on this team. One is injured, one has been a disappointment (Epps) and two are starting. Bamba Fall, although initially seen as a major project, might turn out to be the steal of 2005 recruiting season. So I believe the jury is out on Tubbs. Give him a chance to show us what he can do both in coaching with a team of his own recruits and on the recruiting trail over a period of several years.

20 pts isn't too bad considering the garbage I saw at the UTEP game.

"It was a big-time game, and I felt like I had to step up," Hopkins said. "Early in the year, the big men inside weren't ready for some of my passes. But [Saturday] we did a good job of catching the ball and watching."
Hop, please step up more often, thank you.
