IΓÇÖd love another win against UConn to pad our advantage in the series. The way both programs are going it wonΓÇÖt last long.

Jason Garrett (sporting SMU pullover) didn't budge when the camera caught him during the Dance Cam promotion, although he did offer up the Pony Ears...

Did the student section (behind scorers table) manage to actually shrink since the first half?

I am thankful we finally won again.

Our guys played pretty well and took advantage of mismatches all night long. UConn is pretty sorry right now but they will be back. I'm just glad they have NEVER beaten us in either football or basketball in Dallas. McMurray owned them tonight and we aren't going to lose many games in Moody when we shoot as well as the guys did tonight.

Hopefully at least one more win in Moody this season
