Dammit, Day 26 of giving up cigarettes (and all tobacco, totally cold turkey, no dipping), first night to have a few beers, I have the shakes!

SMU comeback though, its all worth it! Lets go in the second half!

SMU, only 5 T.O.S in the first half, compared to Tulsa's 9 turnovers. Bad rebounding and Tulsa's lucky 3s are the difference.

That could turn in the second half.

Passes were not crisp. They played good D on Dia - you play him so he gets far from the basket and then he's lost.

Adjustment: post Dia up high. Tell him not to take a shot. Have him screen, run the pick and roll, etc in order to get guys open shots. Make Tulsa afraid to have him up high. Then switch back to the regular offense after roughly 5 minutes.

actually looked better w/out Pats on the floor. It will take some time.

Ha, first night of beers for me in a month, and I just realized I'm a nasty basketball viewer when half in the bag

How often does Dia have his shot blocked?

by **RGV Pony** » Wed Jan 26, 2011 9:04 pm

Just can't have teams shoot 53% from 3

I hope Dia gets angry. He should be schooling this white boy.
