From the Tulane press notes....

"On the season, SMU is first in C-USA and 14th in the NCAA in field goal percentage (.483), first in C-USA and 10th in the NCAA in 3-point percentage (.405), and tops in C-USA and 18th in the NCAA in free throw percentage (.756). The Mustangs are 13-2 when shooting better than their opponent from the field and 6-2 when shooting at least 50 percent from the floor. SMU also leads the league in scoring defense at 61.6 points allowed per game."

we may never lose again




reverse jinx

The CEO coach experiment looks to be a success. All hail dual coaches!

Every single time I read those statistics, it brings a smile to my face. We are headed toward the promised land, sooner or later (I'm thinking way sooner than anyone thought).

SMU is also 18th in personal fouls per game.

and number 1 in my heart.

First, I love this team and what they're doing. Second, they scare me to death b/c they have limited talent and I'm now expecting them to win. That's a recipe for crushing me

I feel the exact same way. Expectations are a terrible thing; it's like playing with fire.

On the flip side, screw it. I've been a fan for 5 years now, and this is the first time that I am genuinely excited for this team because we have a chance to win every game.

After Tulane, we will get a very realistic test of this team. UTEP and Houston on the road. I think we can beat UTEP (perhaps only at home) and we certainly can beat Houston. Doing it on the road will be a very strong indicator of how well this team has improved since ECU and how disciplined and motivated they can play on the road.

Jury is still out. Throw out the non-conference schedule and judge the conference results at the end of the season. Four games does not a season make.

Well when intelligent people with knowledge of the talent level were predicting 1 or maybe 2 conference wins all season, a 4 game in-conference winning streak makes a hell of a lot of the season.

1) Why would anyone throw out the non-conference schedule? It sucked, but it's not like we're ever going to load up OOC. We'll ditch a few patsies, and pick up a few mediocre teams. It is what it is, no reason to harp on it.

2) We're 5-3 at the half way point, and many didn't give us 2 wins in conference on the year, much less 5 at the half-way point. It's a New Years miracle already

3) This year was about developing systems and statistically we're ridiculous.

Ain't it great??????????
