Hopefully we play a little better than last time - and play a full game...
and somehow stop Tofi from scoring at will....

They didn't get a full dose of Bamba Fall last time. I expect he'll make things different for Tofi in Saturday's game -- sure hope so, anyway....

is this game on TV anywhere?

utep is favored by 9. I think we'll do better against Tofi, but our problem all night last time was the size, athleticism and depth they had on the wings. Not sure we have an awswer for that, but maybe Pearson sliding to the 3 more will help. This would be a great win for SMU, but its gonna take a great shooting night from everybody.

Tofi had 29pts and 10 boards - he dominated
Williams 10pts and 10 boards

all but 4 came in the second half. He was great, but alot of his points were created off of penetration from the wings. They put alot of pressure on us, obviously Tofi was huge.

Hopefully, then, with Bamba's emergence since the UTEP game we could shut down that type of penetration with Fall's presence in the paint.

This is an extremely tough road game. I Hope SMU can make a game of it and Bamba and Morris contribute.
