Shake the hand of the man that beats you ...

Superb second half for SMU. You stepped it up, and we couldn't respond. A lot of guts shown by your guys, and I have no trouble shaking your hand and wishing you the best.

Let's do it again in the Dance next year. How about we meet at the Sweet 16? I promise we'll bring better shooters and another big guy down low for company.

Best of luck!

2 very similar teams going at it tonight; I think we just have a little more depth and it showed in the end

Your inside guy was toying with Landry Nnoko in the second half. Experience is a great teacher, and I'm betting Nnoko watches the game film a lot in the offseason. Superb adjustments by Larry Brown to deny the lanes inside and force us outside ... knowing we couldn't hit like that forever. As it turned out, we fell in love with the outside as first option and y'all seized the initiative.

I hate to lose, but really enjoyed watching your guys handle the ball. Best of luck Thursday!

I said coming into this game that if both teams played well, we would cover that 3 pt spread. Neither team played it's best (I've watched Clemson all year living here in SC and with 2 kids who are Clemson alumni now). We stunk it up in the 1st half but made every possession count in the 2nd half. Clemson got a little careless and then seemed to panic when we caught them. Entertaining game, for sure. Just happy to have pulled it out. Kids will be disappointed, but happy for Dad

From one Rev. to another, thanks for the good words. Good luck in the ACC next year. Keep on beating Duke.

Thanks and best of luck to you guys...you have a very tough team. We closed out the perimeter much better and played much better help defense on the Clemson skip passes. What a classy post and thanks for your time.

Thank you. Good sportsmanship never goes out of style.

I'm still in the bldg trying to figure out how we won. Can't focus on Minn vs the tomahawks.

Great game by your guys, Rev. Tough, hard fought game by two teams that wouldn't give up. Tonight's game was what makes college athletics great.
