Solid job by Janks and the team when UConn closed to within 5-6 points in the second half to regain control of the game.
Once again our poor free throw shooting almost cost us-gotta get better.
We're 74% from the line in conference play according to Clark Kellogg. The Bens didn't help us today, but we can't really be considered a poor free throw shooting team on the whole. We just remember the misses more.

We would have smoked their assets - getting into foul trouble messed up the Mojo and rhythm. Any smart coach in the future we'll try to play on that.
Great Team SMU pride.

Vance Jackson "guarantees" UConn will beat SMU if it gets another chance. #Namath

Question for y'all - would you rather get #1 seed and play temple (8/9), then uconn (or ucf) or get #2 and play Tulsa then Houston/Memphis.
Personally, I'd rather get #1 seed and avoid Houston.

Houston is by all measures the clear third-best team in the conference, so yeah.
Playing Connecticut in Hartford doesn't really scare me anymore.

Co-sign. I would much rather play UConn. If Memphis wins today we will likely get the 1, but if they lose unless Cincy falls we will likely get the 2.

I have mixed feelings. As long as we are at least regular season Co-Champions, would it be so bad to win one in the tournament and then lose giving us some time to rest? Never like to put losing in the mind but a hard fought tournament could hurt us for the ultimate goal.

The higher seed will always be worth more than the rest.

Then let's do it. I actually thought the turn around was a little quicker.

I think Houston has the better match-ups and personnel to beat us.
But UCONN DOES HAVE VANCE!!

They showed him on the CBS broadcast late in the game. Great to see he still supports our team!
