Game plan vs SMU: jack up as many uncontested 3s as they give you (virtually every play), hit 50%+ for 30 pts and capitalize on turnovers. You don't need to worry about winning battles inside, don't need to worry about Kennedy or Manuel, just make your outside shots and turnover buckets. It really is easy as easy can be plan-wise. You shoot terrible? You lose. SMU shoots lights out? You lose. You hit a reasonable percentage and they shoot average, it's close or you win.

We have one team weakness! Why can't we fix this!?!

I just don't get our 3 pt defense. Just stay on your guy! Get in his grill. Our bigs will handle penetration. WTF?!?!?!

So frustrating.

Perimeter defense has been an issue for the last few years.
Back off Warchild seriously.

Not sustainable. Keep to our principles and we'll be fine. Would be nice if Nic can hit some 3s here though.

Because it's minor. How many games have we lost because a team only beat us by 3s? Meanwhile, our shutdown inside defense wins us a lot of games.

UConn.
Nearly lost vs Tulsa because of it.
And we're struggling for the third straight game because of it.
