Official SMU v. Rice (Round 3) Game Thread

[skyscraper]

Several times during the Rice radio broadcast, the announcer kept saying how Doh thought we would get a postseason invite even with a loss.
Does this seem likely? Seems hard to believe.

Ladies bounced by UTEP today so at least our student athletes will be safe during spring break.

timeout. set play. 18 seconds. tell me why dia didn't touch the ball?? or at least take a shot with time to get a rebound. wow. doh is a HORRIBLE [deleted] coach

They set it up for Dia, but Samp didn't make the pass, then it was a firedrill.

A first round exit should mean Bye Bye coach.

2-6 our last 8 games, with one of the w's being the near-implosion at home vs Rice.

What happened? After the Houston game it seems like the promise we all saw went away. I guess the book on us became to take away Rob and let Papa get his points? Make the supporting cast beat them?

[ponyinNC]

because rice can get in all the marginal qualifiers to beat smu's straight A student athletes...oh, ait, nevermind.

FOUR LOSES IN A ROW? THIS TEAM DESERVES TO STAY HOME, UPSET BY RICE?

SMU losing in the conference tourney, no matter who the opponent, is not an upset.

I think we may have a gentleman's agreement to buy our way into one of them sh@tty tourneys.

If I was the Mustang booster that promised that though, after this game, I would close the check book!

That won't happen. But tonite was the worst side of robo doh w/the mass subs and all. It's like all the good habits disappeared in a stressful situation and he reverted back to bad doh.

Very disappointing end to the season, and I really do hope that is the end of the season. What's the point in paying tons of money to lose the first game of the CBI or CIT or whatever else there is?

Ha ha!

[horseshoe hilltop]

No worries y'all. The season isn't over yet. Doherty apparently thinks SMU will still make a postseason tournament.

[smupony]

Quite the crash and burn over the last few weeks....we probably should have all seen this coming.

Ha, I never did get too excited, despite getting fired up for games, cause the talent this year was well worse than marginal. They are tons better than I thought they'd be, but tonight was a massive wet blanket on the season

Agreed...Now we have all Spring and Summer to wait for another season full of questions...

[shadowman]

Post game on now.

I hope Rich asks the tough question about that 4 man substition fiasco!

listen!

Well that reaffirmed why I don't give a crap about our basketball team. Until we can win easy games like this I'm over this team.

Is it football season yet?
