OFFICIAL GAME 14 THREAD: SMU vs. Memphis

[sadderbudweiser]

A good team finds a way to win on the road. We missed a lot of chippies, got no call with one important exception on the charge Jarrey drew. Memphis played really tough D but ours was better. That was a really good road win. And I think we do beat them by ten or more at home.

[Terry Webster]

I love this defense. Best I have seen us play in years. Playing against Cinci is going to be really intense.

[Pony81]

I LOVE our toughness. So many times we could have folded when we didn't get a call or couldn't get a bunnie to drop. Love this team's effort and attitude.

Semi is AAC POY. He showed that he is the better player than Dedric Lawson. Semi looked like a man on a mission.

Opponents may go to "hack a Semi." I would.

Shooting 75% on the year, think travel and the effort on Lawson might have sapped his FT touch.

No legs on those last two. Not surprising.

[Pony81]

Can't wait for 1/4 against Temple. I know I will be at Moody - loud and proud!

PonyUp! This was a test and we passed! Now, on to the next one.

Give Jank and coaching staff a lot of credit. Defensive game plan shut D. Lawson down pretty well and switching D kept Memphis confused. Lots of rushed shots as shot clock was about to expire. Very impressive what this coaching staff has done with this team. Games like this are a scary reminder of how thin we are as game ended with both Sterling and Jarrey with 4 fouls each. Memphis is in same boat we are with thin bench and they had 2 with 4 fouls at the end. OT would have been a crap shoot.

I'm counting this as 60-54. What is it with horrible goal tending calls against us. At least this one didn't cost us the game. D was outstanding. Memphis is a high scoring team, and we shut them down. FT shooting was shaky again tonight, but 4 for 4 in last few seconds seals it. Go figure. If we could get to 75% every night, we will be tough to beat in this league.

[Pony81]

Tubby is delusional. Memphis got far more calls than we did. The difference was Semi took it on himself to play great D and shut D Lawson down. Of course his O was outstanding.

The officials missed the goal tending call and a step out of bounds by Memphis that resulted in 2 points. So 4 points on obvious missed calls

[Stallion]

our Littl' Team out rebounded Memphis 44-25. They are lucky our Offensive Rebounds didn't fall. That's hustle, heart and intensity

[Pony81]

Amen, Stallion!

Well I was fussing about it during the game.
