SMU doesn't handle pressing teams very well.

The reality is that ball handling is our biggest weakness as a team, and Louisville exploited it. Hopefully will be better with E-man next year

Not too much you can do versus best press in country when you only have 1 point guard on your roster and he's sitting on the bench in foul trouble in both halves.

Next year we will be much better equipped to handle that kind of pressure with Mudiay + Moore together.
I miss Troy Matthews.

Louisville had about 10 more fg attempts than us. Too many turnovers.

We've never handled the press well - like for the past 5-7 years. Never had a ball handler until Nick Moore.

Even last year it was a nail bighter every time we brought the ball up the floor. I think Nick Russell has been amazing for us but it always killed me watching him bring the ball up the floor so slowly.
