Official: SMU vs. USF Thread Part Deux

[Charleston Pony]

have to defend Moody; every conference road game is going to be tough

[CalallenStang]

Know what Larry will point to in the presser. . . Poor defense against the dribble drive, outhustled on the boards, 2nd chance points, and the 50/50 (hustle plays). . . Like I said earlier, somebody besides Markus & Nic have to step up their game offensively.

Offense wasn't the problem. Defense was the problem.

give USF credit; they played harder than we did tonight

We played just as hard but they just played better. Their coach had a better game plan against us having played us better and lost. But make no mistake our guys played just as hard as their guys did.

minus 6 on the boards right now

[SMUstang07]

If we cant handle this team on the road then maybe we aren't that good.

[Stallion]

22 Rebounds probably a season low
28-22

You need to re-read my post

Clearly not

[PonyKris89]

USF is a well coached team... Hey, i believe i heard, he got Kent State to the quarterfinals NCAA about 10 years ago.


I dont think it was reasonable to think that SMU would go the whole season without an upset loss, every great team usually has at least one or two.

We have plenty of opportunity to build our resume, and a few of them are at Moody, then neutral at the AAC tourney.

Our outside shooting wasn't very good. Defense played well enough to win imo.

That's an atrocious loss, no way to sugar coat that one. Team better figure out what they're doing and figure it out real quick. That may have been the worst game of basketball I've watched this year, painful.

[PonySnob]

Must win game this Saturday......

[blackoutpony]

This is really rough guys......,USF sucks. We've avoided bad losses thus far, which helped balance out our weak SOS, and now we have one. Gotta win at least 2 of the 5 tough ones to even have a shot now IMO. Maybe only 2 if one is on the road

The stats say otherwise. We gave up nearly (perhaps more than) 40 points in the paint.

[FriscoChuck]

Well, that sucked! Who was this team tonight? Not the Mustangs we are used to this season.
