Game thread: MBB vs. Washington State

[PonyPride]

Two more layups for WSU
SMU timeout

WSU is one of the country's better defensive teams, and has just 1 blocked shot but has altered many, and then owns the boards, 17-7

looks like the end is near

What the F was the game plan for this game? They had almost a week to prepare.

Can't get bigger in a week

Oh. I guess there’s no way to prep for playing a bigger team then.

[PonyPride]

Especially with the notable size difference, Mustangs have to get to the free throw line more. Through 14:11, SMU has taken just 2 FTs

29-16

Very few students do not a typical Moody crowd.

Didn't say that. Of course there are. But when 3s aren't falling and we're not getting to the line, it's an uphill battle against teams with a big size advantage

[PonyPride]

FG percentages aren't hugely different — WSU shooting 38.2% and SMU shooting 30.4% — but because of 26-11 margin in rebounds, Cougars have taken 11 more field goal attempts

[PonyPride]

SMU: 11 rebounds

Washington State: 12 offensive rebounds

They have only shot 6 threes.

They are not even trying to get offensive rebounds.

They are not in position to get defensive rebounds.

how soon after the game can we start interviewing for a new coach?
This game points out how poorly prepared at times this team is.

Ira just said there are some Big 12 officials in attendance today.
