Official: SMU vs. Cinci Thread

[SMUstangs22]

This was a classic 10 am game. I remember when I played in HS I hated morning games. Had no feel for the game or my shot in the morning.

I think my frustration is that if this is a bubble tourney team, and I'm not even certain they are, you need quality road wins to get in.

This was there for the taking, a quality road win, we didn't take advantage.

Another good point. Like I said that SMU is looking very NITish now. Let's hope that changes as MK gets in shape.

for those who are focused on SMU building it's resume for an at-large bid, remember we still have road games at Temple, UConn & Memphis which would all be considered quality wins, but all it takes is to lose to someone other than those teams or to lose a game at Moody and you can probably forget an at-large bid. Just have to hope that MK, Martin and Emelogu are all clicking late in the season and this team's depth carries it to the AAC Conference Tourney title and out auto bid. Otherwise, we have to hope this team can return to, and this time win Coach Brown that NIT championship to give him the triple crown of titles

Yeah, this is just another example of how the Athletic Department always jumps the gun on raising ticket prices on the "come out roll," especially when there have been NO skins placed on the wall to warrant such moves. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know...we SHOULD have been in Big Dance last year, but we weren't. We chocked at the end with 3 straight losses. Oh, we made the NIT final.....but lost.

When this team shows they deserve to be put in that upper echelon tier that is deserving of "SKY HIGH" ticket prices and shoving out the loyal longtime supporters, then maybe we can have another discussion.

I think that this will be the only conference loss. I think everyone will lose at uc this year. Tough place to play.

I would not plan on a win in Philly against Temple. Hopefully we avoid losing on the road to a weak opponent and that we are clicking on all cylinders for those end of the season games at Memphis and UConn because those will be great tune ups for the AAC Tourney

We are bunch of wussies.. Doherty said it - recruit tougher kids. Just unreal how soft we are.

[couch 'em]

This is not catastrophic. We are still coming together. No need to hit the doom button

Memphis isn't a good win as they suck, but eight or less losses should be enough for at large. @ Cincy was by far the hardest game we had remaining.

True, but you only listed 3 more opportunities.

This was a great chance to turn around a so-so season. Hopefully we can win at least 1 of your 3 mentioned games + have no SMH losses.

@Temple is no cupake

Good game. Hope those that made the trip up here enjoyed it. See y'all again in February in Dallas.

Back home. Crappy game and crappy weather.
