This 9-2 Temple run in the closing minutes has been brutal to watch. We need to win this game.

Looks like our annual collapse just begun. Memphis is going to smoke us. I'm so disgusted right now. I hate being an SMU fan. I wish I had picked any other university.

We're not out yet, but we now have to win all our remaining games and we are about to lose half of our remaining games instead. Memphis L, Houston L, Cincinnati L. We'll be lucky to beat Tulane and Tulsa.

17-3 run by Temple was the latest stat mentioned. Fell apart when it mattered most.

Epic collapse! How many times have we seen this before? 20-30 in the last 5 years?

Another classic Jank fail. And absolutely crap play from our guys.

[DC-Pony]

Flatlined the last 4 mins of the game. Outscored 15-2 down the stretch until bucket with 18 secs left. Unable/unwilling to stop any drives to the basket for Temple layups. An anemic offense as soon as Michael Weathers ran the point. No apparent changes made by SMU coaches. SMU players showing very lame body language for the last 6 mins of game.

Just the sort of egg we’ve seen SMU lay all too often - in totally winnable games - right when they build momentum and opportunities.

Painful to watch.

Michael with back to back slams. Looks good, means nada.
