Official: SMU vs. UVA Thread

One day I'll know what it's like to see SMU win a big game in basketball or football that isn't a fluke....surely it will happen eventually....right?

We are better. Just not quite there yet.

[Mustangsabu]

That was a terrible end to a game we needed to win. I'm really feeling this year is going to be middle of the road, which is of course is a step up, but I was hoping for something really special.

[SMU 86]

UVA shot 71% from 3.

[couch 'em]

All new team. Will take a while to reach potential

[Comet]

Great effort though. Good progress.

Wouldn't have been a fluke if we had won. We played UVA toe to toe.

We're fine, UVA is a top 3 or 4 team in the AAC, if they were in our league. Just gotta get one we shouldnt get later

[StallionsModelT]

Its just one game. We more than held our own against a team that is almost certainly going to the NCAA tournament. We can still have a special season.

[SMU 86]

Heads high and hope a$m loses

This.

Calm down dude. It was one game against a good UVA team. It's not like we got beat by 20 or 30. In fact we could have won. This is part of the jelling process. I hope somehow we get aTm tomorrow.

This is on Russell. Take the timeout and reset. Don't throw the ball to a big!

[PonyKris89]

Disappointed but proud, We competed start to finish. Game could have gone either way.
Our bigs passed well out of post too. Once we get our perimeter to step it up, SMU will be really good.

[StallionsModelT]

How good of an outside shooter is Emmanuel Mudiay? We need another perimeter threat in the worst way. Frazier is getting better but still not consistent. Sterling Brown is on and off. Nic Moore is solid. Hopefully EM can be an additional perimeter scorer for us next year.

I'm oftentimes an angry, disgruntled pessimistic fan, but I really do feel that this team is learning more about playing together and we're learning more about these guys as individuals with every game.

I agree with X, heads high, keep working and grinding, steal a couple conference games against big opponents and keep building on each year going forward
