One thing not mentioned enough is how Sterling, Manuel, Ben Moore, Cunningham, Moreia and Kennedy disrupt opposing offenses at the top of the key and even beyond. No other team in our conference disrupts offenses like SMU

Really nice road win. We are getting every team's best shot because beating us is their chance at the tourney. We handled it against Temple and UConn, and this was great against Memphis.
Credit to Shaw for talking smack and then backing it up.
Free throws we are choking on. It is one thing to make them when the pressure isn't on. Now is the time where teams start to short arm shots because every shot counts. If we were a perimeter team, we would really be in trouble right now. Even Nic had an airball in the first half.
This is why we need a deep conference tourney run before the NCAA. One of these game, we are going to get used to the pressure and shoot the ball as well as we are for most of the second halves of games. That will be the next turn for the team, we just have to hope it happens before the tourney so we can make a run.
It was nice to be at a game in Memphis where we one. Big part of hitting a big shot or making a stop whenever the crowd started to getting into the game. By the way, they have some really awful fans.

Defense was swarming. They weren't even able to get into their sets because of our perimeter defenders being in their guards' faces.
SMU has held 13 out of 16 opponents under 60 points. Won 2 of them and only loss with opponent is Cincy with 62. UCF scored 61 and UH scored 69 but lost. 60 is the magic number. Only loss when holding opponent under 60 is Cincy when they scored 56

I was in the band next to them. I wasn't happy about their shitey behavior all day.
