Tulane shooting 40.7 percent
SMU shooting 40.7 percent

I agree — doesn't feel like it's that high

I expect our guys to turn it on and win this game, but we do not, and have not looked like a top 25 team since that loss to Temple

Gotta be a hlf dozen blown chippies and some silly turnovers on the way to easy shots.

Very frustrating. .

Not often that a team trails while dominating rebounds. But SMU trails by a point despite 23-12 edge on rebounds.

Wizards, too

Same pattern as most all games. Very cautious with fouling. They will turn it up in the 2nd half.

Only thing I do not like is Nic's play is reminiscent of the Houston game in the AAC tourney a couple of years ago. We need him to light the fuse and then we will be fine.

"Sunday, Bloody Sunday" was pretty tacky.

Looking a bit better now. Hustle.
