Both teams shooting well from three but Stanford bench players hit 4-5 threes and SMU has 9 1st half turnovers. That's been the difference. Without Boopie, our best offense has been in transition off defensive stops or Stanford turnovers. Not optimistic our guys can come back as shooting is likely to drop off as our guards tire from having to play too many minutes.
