Didn't one of our players wear 2 once last year because he forgot to pack his jersey? I think that is an extra. I bet someone forgot to pack his 14.

I believe Yanick Moreira wore #2 for the entirety of last season

I think it was Sterling. Obviously was not #2 but one of our guys wore an no name different number recently (last year?)due to their jersey missing the trip.

Or was it Ben Moore?

Sutton needs his name on his Jersey

His number is 14. Do not know why he was wearing 2.

He has a 14 in the home jersey but maybe they didn't have a blue one ready.

I don't think Sutton sees the court again this year after that

Because?

Because he's old school and expects his players to act a certain way. Did you see what Self did in the media to his guard who threw down a dunk as time ran out in a blowout at KSU?

Look, I didn't have a problem with what Sutton did. The shot clock was running down. He threw up a shot to avoid the violation and it happened to be a good shot. I'd even be willing to say "he's a football player, let him shoot". I just hope LB doesn't come down on him for that.

All I was inferring was that I could see LB being a little put off by the three ball. Geez, sorry for having a thought on here and not knowing 100% what Coach was thinking.

No way Larry was upset about those guys scoring yesterday. If you can't keep 3 walk ons and a football player from scoring then that is on you. Big difference between starters and bench warmers scoring in the last minute.

Ok, then I guess I'm just the @$$hole overthinking things.

According to the Tampa paper, LB apologized after the game.

By game's end, Bulls walk-ons Jake Bodway (26 minutes) and Tre' Bryant (six) had logged their lengthiest stints of the season, and two SMU walk-ons — including Courtland Sutton, an 800-yard receiver on the Mustangs football team — were eliciting whoops from their own bench with late baskets in their season debuts.

"We got an opportunity to play 'em, and then all of a sudden we're cheering when they made a shot. … I felt terrible in that regard," Hall of Fame SMU coach Larry Brown said.

Cheering a guy on his first, unlikely NCAA baskets...disgraceful
