UAB favored by 9.5 points...winning is an option.

We hung with them last time (and that was with McDonald shooting the lights out), and now they're going to think it's a walk-over because they beat Memphis.

SMU 65
UAB 62

Important to get off to a good start. Let's hope Pearson can be as active as he was yesterday and we don't turn it over as much or we are in trouble.

Did hear that right, did the commentator just call us a good offensive team?

Yes, it's funny how commentators just make stuff up on the fly. He is probably going by what he saw yesterday.

Man, Hopkins is ICE cold.

Rack is playing great early...Bhop isnt

I don't have a video feed, so I don't really know what he's looking like shooting the ball, but Hop's got 4 assists, so at least he's playing team ball early- hopefully a continuation of yesterday.

He is doing a good job creating for others but he is also just 1-5 from the field and most of his looks were open shots.

Horrible defense. This color guy needs to shut his trap. Turnover....uh oh.

The color guy is right our transition defense has been horrible. If it was just mediocre we would be down 5 but we are down 8 instead.

Is it me or is this color guy a steve lavin wannabe?

Yes, transition D - 2 or 3 layups with nobody guarding them or even getting in front.
