OFFICIAL GAME 18 THREAD: SMU vs. Cinci

[Rebel10]

You guys really impressed me. I've always really liked Ben Moore. Milton and Brown are studs. Olejeye is beast too. A lot of talent. If you guys had more depth you'd be a for sure top 20 team.

Thanks. Like I said, both teams belong in the NCAA tournament.

2 best teams in the conference

Those Cincy fans on their forum better tune up their opinion of us. They thought this would be an easy game, lucky for you, the basket played defense against nic Moore like 3 pointer.

We stopped running any offense. You can't do that against a good team home or away.

No. Your players stopped making 3's.

Have to agree, if you normalize the 3s to the average, this game would have been the w for us. You guys shot excellent and fortunate for you guys to have it. I don't see y'all making them in Moody. If we didn't give up an easy 15 deficit and finally got into the game, again, the results plus be different. I accept the results and can't wait till Moody!

3PT defense and missed layups the reason for that loss tonight. A lot to take from it though, easily our toughest game on the schedule.

That Sterling 3 was excruciatingly close to dropping.

I replayed it it wouldn't have counted anyways

Not that one....the one before.

And had he made it that would have been the only time we led in this game.

So proud of our effort.

Appreciate your comments. I was thinking during the game that it was too bad our guys were facing the best Cincinnati team since we joined the AAC without any depth to back us up. Y'all have a great team, a talented coach and a nice home court.

Now go out and lose a game you shouldn't so we can beat y'all at home and then win the league

[gostangs]

i don't think you have to worry about Moody being nuts for this game. It will be best of the year.

Off the hook. Cant wait. Definitely not scared of the bearcats, whatever those are.

Assuming we win at home and neither program hits any other conference losses, we will be settling the score in the conference tourney.

We did actually lead twice early in this game. Think last time was 12-11.

Really good game. I like Cronin and the way his teams play. Well coached.

And that's why the game at Moody will be great as well. Cronin will have this team ready.

On to Tulane and back to winning.

SMU showed me much more tonight than any other game. This team has come a long way and really is talented and well coached.

Okay time to criticize ESPN a bit here, there article shown on the app harps on the 15 deficit as if it were like an easy game the whole way and they let up. We came back to 7 to end the half and close down 2 with a chance at a 3 point game winner or 2 point to tie. I wish they would accurately depict the game.

[Pony81]

I just love this SMU team! Play hard, never quit, down the whole game and it comes down to a rim out 3.

Man what a great time to be an SMU fan.

Guys we got to get to Moody when UC comes to town and make the place a living Hell for them.

You know that they are in the locker room thinking..... Dang we shot 50% from 3, at home , and we only won by 2

The worm has turned. UC knows they are no longer the " premier program" . This is the best UC team since Huggins,

My guess they are just feeling stoked that they won.

[jimhagle]

Sterling was a beast tonight-should have shot more though as hot as he was.What a game. This team has some heart.

I wish SB would have thrown SO the dunk when we cut it to 2 instead of throwing to BE for the 3 attempt.

Pretty sure he was talking about Sterling's 3 attempt prior to that one

Yeah well I guess it doesn't matter anyways
