SMU is America's team

[YouKnowIt]

The NCAA can keep SMU out of the postseason, but it can't stop them from becoming the best story in college basketball. This is a team with only seven scholarship players, one that says it has to practice four-on-four because it doesn't have enough warm bodies. It's a team with three great seniors, an emerging freshman guard and a couple of Swiss army knife wings. It's a team that has built a top five offense by sharing the ball, crashing the offensive glass and playing some rectified version of The Right Way, just as their Hall of Fame coach always wanted.

The Twitter hate is real! Good grief...

Swiss army knife is maybe the best description of our non Nic guards I have ever heard.

When you start getting Twitter hate that means you're relevant. We have finally arrived. It's fun.

Well written and positive article. Love it

Excellent read.

That darn Larry Brown. Who does he think he is for purchasing an airline ticket so a kid could go visit a sick relative? Prepare the Stretching Rack and strap him in!

Always crazy to me that these articles manage not to mention Sterling by name. Under appreciated.

Sterling is great. I'd also like one of these reporters to interview Wilfong to get his take on being the non-scholarship player on the team and ignored in the telling of the bigger story.

Unfortunately, the "best story" also involves cheating. No one REALLY knew that the staff member was taking his web tests for him. That's the story "America's Team" will be tagged with. We can't get away from the fact that Larry's last three college teams ALL ended in NCAA sanctions.

Thanks for the added clarity oldmins. Did you add that the poignant moment of jfk Jr saluting his dad's casket also involved the death of an adulterer?
