Not a member but let me guess:
We still are hurt being passed over by ncaa board. It is hard to get up when you have been disrespected. WS is a really good team and played over the top this game.

We tried hard and woke up, but you know it's difficult to be sharp after being rejected.

Just a guess.

“Our team has not come all the way back since the news on Sunday,” Jankovich said on SMU’s post-game radio show. “I don’t say that as an excuse — there are no excuses in sports. You can’t have excuses. I’m just telling you the facts. I saw it in them. ... Our team is wounded. Maybe it’s hard to understand that. But, when you start in June and you try to become a team like these guys did and you fight through more adversity in a season than I’ve ever seen ... just the journey that you go on for months and months and months and to still be left out, none of them can come to grips with how we can possibly be left out of the NCAA Tournament.

“The team that took the floor the last two games was not the team that took the floor the entire year. That was a team that was wounded.”

Assuming this is what you're talking about...

Is he talking about the 2016-17 team that had 6 players in the rotation and 7 total? The 2017-18 team that lost Shake and Jarrey to season ending injuries? The 2018-19 team that was missing Jarrey for much of the season and did not ever fully recover plus the sanctions plus whatever else you want to say? The 2019-20 team that had the season end prematurely due to COVID-19 like every other team in the country? The 2020-21 team that had to deal with several pauses due to COVID-19? What adversity is he talking about because it's either one excuse after another or he really seems to have a dark cloud following him in which case SMU needs to distance itself from him as much as possible.

Not knowing what the statement was.... I think I nailed it.

Pathetic, shameful, disgusting, cowardly. Anything to avoid responsibility. That statement alone should get him fired.

Pretty obvious from KD's post game comments that our guys were really upset (justifiably so) that 4 MWC schools got invited to the NCAAs and only 2 AAC teams. I fully understand that teams get deflated when what you worked so hard for all season gets denied, but sure wish they had reacted differently and come into the NIT with a chip on their shoulders. That's on both the coaching staff and reflects on the character of the team. Year after year, the winner of the NIT proves they were not only the "best of the rest" but probably deserved a bid to the NCAA Tournament.

Most competitive folks would take that setback and then say,

"Just watch, we'll prove them wrong on the court!"

And then go and win the NIT.

When does football start?

I think a decent amount of the players realized that their not making the NCAA tournament both cost them a "dream", but that it also cost the coaches they cared about their jobs. For KD and probably Band, it costs Jank his job, for the Weathers brothers it cost Jank and Cooper their jobs. Certainly different feelings from different guys. I don't pretend to know all the inner workings of the team. In any case it is not shocking to me that as a group they were not totally ready to play. No excuses for anyone, but that is the reality of coaching 18, 19, 20 - 23 year olds.

For those of us who have been around here dealing with BPS most of our lives, this is nothing new. Remember the 1983 Sun Bowl, when a butt hurt SMU squad didnt even bring their jock straps to El Paso?!? My god, the thought of playing an 8-4 Alabama team on national TV, who had W’s over LSU, Ole [deleted], and at one point was ranked #3...you don’t think they were PO’d as well? Bama 28 Strapless SMU 7.

If they really cared about the coaches they shouldn't have let it get so out of hand in the first half. They should have committed to getting to MSG at the very least and protecting Moody.

Right, XC...great point. But, be careful with that critical thinking here on PonyFans.
