SMU women's basketball became a national embarrassment today

[mustangxc]

We blew a 31 point halftime lead, scored 0 points in the third quarter and then got smoked in the fourth quarter. We ended up losing by double digits. We are now infamously bad as we are the team that blew the largest lead in NCAA history!!!

This is the exact opposite of the guys getting whipped by Duke or UNC. Those games were never close.

We led this one by 31 at halftime! If we have the talent to get that big lead, we have the talent to hold on. ZERO points in the third quarter? 7% shooting in the second half?
