Good win as the kids did what they needed to do. We have still not touched the surface of what this team is capable of doing. Progress and consistency.

to me, this upcoming UH game is one of the biggest games in years.

A good, not great team, but on the road. A critical game if we want to go dancing.

A game SMU should win but in our past, usually fall short.

I am optimistic and can't wait for SMU to beat the Coogs.

Radio announced over 6,000. Can't report specific number. Am sure it'll be out soon.

Absolutely agree that UH is a huge game. It is in a way bigger than the UConn game. We need to win and show we can play good teams on the road and win. We normally play sloppy ball against good teams on the road. This is a chance to play well, win and set the team up for a definite March Madness team.

Agreed. This next game is critical. I like we have 5 days to rest up and prepare. They have a tough match @ Memphis in 2 days. Hopefully we come in fresher and with our D ready to go. Happier with FT efficiency this game too.

Relishing a blizzard night in NYC with a bunch of Rutgers fans from south of the river.

Too bad I couldnt make it but glad my seats were occupied.

Just got back from the game. . . The 2nd half, SMU looked like a team playing their 3rd game in 4 days. . . Larry needs to give them a day or two off.

Yeah - that second half was some ugly basketball all around.

Still our defense is so good we can survive a night like tonight fairly easily.

The game was on at the line if you believe the stats - which is another nice silver lining from tonight.

Rutgers blows. . . If SMU hadn't been playing their 3rd game in 4 days, they would have blown the doors off Rutgers by at least 20 points minimum.

The guys looked gassed in the second half. Glad they can finally get some rest.
