Turnovers are what did in SMU. Looking forward to next year when we will have more than just 7 scholarship players.

Turnovers and poor execution finishing inside on offense. That is what lost the game.

It was a great year. Congrats to the team on a great year.

What a miserable game for these guys to go out on, 30-12 free throw differential certainly didn't help when combined with our unquestionable desire to walk the ball up the floor and promptly throw the worst pass imaginable for a turnover repeatedly. Obviously would've preferred to go to the post season, but thank goodness this season is over. It was exhausting. Nic carrying our team multiple times, Sterling getting ejected, Markus being completely ineffective 95% of the year, constantly having our team dragged through the mud every single game with having to hear about sanctions...I for one feel like a weight has been lifted. We blew this game. Refs didn't help, but we absolutely blew it. Here's to '16-'17 and instant depth and athleticism. It will be a beautiful thing.
I like sports and I don't care who knows.

Thank you to the seniors for fighting through the season from hell. Week to week it seemed like there was some type of drama to deal with.
Clean slate for next season and a new look with everyone coming in. Excited to see how it plays out.

Awesome season. Wish they could have gone out with a win today but it just wasn't their day.

Thank you Nic, Markus and Jordan!

Had the joy of attending the game and nice time sitting with the families of the players. SMU lost that game because they let UC play their game, which is ugly. That is how uc wins. The refs could have blown the whistle a few more times on uc, but overall they deserved to win.

That's the way I saw it. We had too many TOs and missed too many shots.

Given all the adversity how many of us predicted 25-5?

And those predictions were made assuming we'd have the towel waiver, the new Ute and half a season of Semi.

Pretty darned impressive.

Congrats to LB, Jank and the 2015-16 Mustangs.
Party at The Wopper!

Yep. Not disappointed today. This is the greatest Mustang team I've ever seen. Hope to maybe see even greater in the future.

But, until then, these are my guys. Proud of my team today.

Nic Moore went out as a great player. He deserves a ton of credit as one of the best college basketball players the last two years.

Ben Moore is going to be a force the next few years, IMO he was your second best player.

Markus Kennedy went out in true fashion...as a loser.
