Problem with playing in the AAC is we don't know how to play in close games

Usc sucks. They barely made the tournament
USC does not suck. One because they beat us. Two because they lost their best player for 15 games. They beat UCLA.

Big miscues from the seniors in the final minute.

Really tough for Sterling and Ben as they will both feel responsible for this loss...Sterling stepping out and Ben missing the FT. Can't say enough good about those guys as they were the foundation of this program. I hate this ending for them

Horrible way to end a great season. I feel bad for the seniors as they both had chances and both choked at the end.

I'll ask this again. How do u not feed the beast on the last possession. Instead u give it to shake the softie who isn't the greatest in pressure situations

One on Jank, should have a called a timeout on last possession and get something setup.

Ben's going to take the OB turnover hard likely, but this loss is on the entire team. Their second half performance was pathetic. Shake seemed like a wet cold dog standing in the rain...didn't want to make any passes inside for fear of a turnover. Just disappointing. But...think Semi stays and we have a great nucleus to go on a run, play great, and maybe win one game in the tournament next year.

can't play afraid to lose, and we looked like that for mos the second half. Did not play aggressive and played tentative.
With's Shake's 3, the coach could have called a time out and told the players how play the final minute. A lot of should haves by the coach and particularly the Sterling and Ben. Another sad day for SMU in big-time sports.

I think we ended the game with two or three timeouts in our pocket
