Well, I have read how great our team looks. I can't see much difference from Doherty and Smith. We continue to have a pitiful offense. At least with Doherty we could hit a few 3 pointers.

I think I will go watch either (a) The Biggest Loser, or (b) Arkansas State football.

well, you picked the worst game of the year, no question about it. It does look like our 12 point halves last year. Who is Smith?

this is an ugly performance, that's for sure. Will take nothing short of a miracle to come back and pull this one out. Looking at this team, I'm hoping I'm watching next year's back-ups. Let's just hope they can keep improving and become more competitive or it looks like we could be in for a long, ugly CUSA season.

no shooters to open up Tula's D

Larry Brown is going to have to put Brian Bernardi in to get us a legitimate 3-point shooting threat and clear the TU defense from being able to just jam the inside.

HALF of Tulsa's points came from came from their bench. We have 2 from Giles...

I have watched a majority of the games this year, and this is by far our worst performance. Don't tune them out because of this game.

The thing that's most disappointing to me is the lack of effort/energy on the defensive side of the ball. Getting outrebounded, getting beat to the loose balls, not closing out on the shooters. The SMU players are letting the poor shooting affect them on the defensive side of the ball. . . Plus nothing from Jones & Williams for the 2nd straight game.

This fiasco is not LB's fault. As our Zero Percent 3 pt shooting demonstrates, we simply don't have ant outside shooters. Smart coaches will do what URI did and Tulsa is doing. Play a zone. Clog the paint. Dare us to shoot.

Still better than Doh by a mile.

Surprised to see Dickerson get minutes.

We need to start making some damn shots, but not a bad start out of half.
