any die hards out there with nothing better to do on a Sat night?

Good start for Bhop hitting 2 of his 1st three shots and puling down 2 boards.

good 1st half by Simpson and Bhop. We are getting our clocks cleaned on the boards, with Fresno holding an 8-2 advantage on offensive boards. We have clearly gone to a half court, slow down game dropping 4 defensively as soon as the shot goes up.

As long as we win, I guess I don't mind winning ugly.

19-10 outrebounded. Simpson has 11pts.

Jay Poerner interview was good. He said it's difficult to get kids to adapt to the slow down style.

stange game tonight. It's a 4 man game. Bhop/Simpson against West/Legans. 1st pair to 60 wins?

At the risk of jinxing the guys, I'm impressed by the 2:1 assist:turnover ratio tonight. Bhop 4 assists and only 1 turnover!

Nice 3 point shooting too. Wonder why we can't shoot free throws.

one thing about slow ball...the last 2 minutes are pretty exciting and OT games are common. I still say 1st team to 60 wins. Hope we score 1st in OT.

tough loss - Fresno's guys go off on 3's - Legens was incredible. West hit 10 3 pointers I think - what a joke. Some guy had a career assist high - opponents always have some soft of "career highs" playing SMU.

we just can't beat Fresno. Maybe we will get another chance in the WAC Tourney. Would be nice to beat them at least once before we leave the WAC. When you hit 50% FTs, you won't win many close games.

Pretty improbable that we should lose this game. Fresno only has seven available players following a double overtime loss on Thursday night, and we still can't close against a team that we only lost to by one on their home floor. They have now beaten us eight straight games.

First home game I could have gone to and chose not to. I wish it wasn't that way, but it is.

DH - I am in your boat - I could have pressed the issue to go to the game but I chose not to.
Slow ball is boring and I can't get excited about it...sick of the way we play and finally hit a breaking point. Losing one fan at a time??
