It's an SMU tradition!
Why is it that we always have a stretch of the game where we go completely cold?

Pretty common in most games for a lot of teams

It's called college basketball. The other team is defending. Sometimes it works.

Yes, but for SMU, it is almost exactly 5 minutes long, and it seems like we can never get any of our opponents to also go 5 minutes without scoring

Tell that to TCU the first five minutes of our game.

TCU scored 6 points in the first five minutes. They went 3:36 without scoring.
My point is that while all teams have their droughts, SMU's are ridiculously long and severe.

Not as long and severe as the Doh, tubbs offensive droughts. One Doh drought lasted a whole half. Remember.

Actually a whole game. 28 points, right?
