sad. you just can't lose to ECU at home. we should have been desparate for a win. that might have been the most winnable game left on our schedule. If you can't beat ECU, you arent going to beat Tulsa or Houston.

SMU still trying to play 11 different players in a close game. 4 ECU players rarely left the Court. Which team ran out of gas. No wonder this team doesn't have any chemistry. I'm glad we got Harp in there for 15 minutes of nothing.

I said it after the TCU thread that got yanked. This team wouldn't know the first thing about chemistry.

Defense is absolutely piss-poor. When I said 8-10 wins this year, I wasn't knee-jerking. I was serious. It's this bad.

A better coach gets more out of this team. And I'm just going to leave it at that.

SMU paid JJ $2M per win this year - wonder how much we're paying Coach Doh per win??

harp is like the 10th guy off the bench in the first half and then he is on the court at crunch time? makes no sense when he did nothing to make an impact.

the defense was horrible. We gave up a ton of uncontested 3s and a ton of easy layups and dunks. we werent defending the perimeter or the interior.

This is a much tougher loss to stomach for me than the Marshall game.

Doh seems to still be tinkering. Haynes got some minutes, no Malone, Walker some, Dia off the bench = nothing, Harp has no business being on the floor for us. ECU had nice distributed scoring from all.

Oh, but we were told by the excuse makers that the non-conference season was being used to get the rotation in order. Then we would see the difference.

It seems we are nowhere closer to that than before. Again, the head coach has no idea what to do with his personnel.

This was my first game of the year and it was a [deleted] poor effort. It is so hard to be a SMU fan.

Not only was the "D" pi*s poor, but the Ponies shot selection was horrendous as well.

I think I'm about ready to furl my "SMU" flag for awhile.

"No Expectations" in order for BB as well?

Back to the Senior Bowl as the "Frightened Irish" are going down at home as well!
