this from an excerpt from SMU press release-btw 35th would place us in the lower 10% of all Division 1A BB schools.

5. - Experience - Bamba Fall has played in 95 games at SMU, the only one on the roster above 51 games. According to Kenpom.com, SMU is the 35th most inexperienced team in the nation.

I would much rather have a young team with a 1 and done than an experienced team with 5 seniors.

You voting for the amendment to allow guns in churches. I thought that would be in Texas, not Arkansas

Ok, I looked up this infamous webiste.

Here's a few teams younger than us. Florida, Georgetown, Virigina, Miss.St, Iowa, Cincinnati, Ohio St. Kansas, Vanderbilt, Arkansas, Butler & Mississippi State, the youngest team in the country.

Can't even be a top 25 in this.

Should not have even needed a vote. Separation of Church and State should work both ways.

and when doh first got here - he had more experience - but wait - that didn't count because those players were no good - except for Ike - and he was only good because he was coached up

Actually, that experience helped get us a 14-17 (3-13) record.

As you can tell from the attachment above, Ike had the talent before he arrived @ SMU.

I do give credit to Doh for giving Ike & JK the necessary minutes to display their talents.

Doh's track record is to do well with someone else's players but can't develop his own recruits. Fair or not, it seems to be playing out that way here too. Maybe more consistant minutes for guys like RN & Malone & you might see what we saw with Ike & JK. Problem is the yo yo approach to substitutions is not working. Impossible to get into a rhythm with the current system.
