i loved the effort we gave. much better execution offensively in big stretches. that being said SMU isn’t a good team. ranked close to 50 in all the rankings. keep it in perspective.
Late stuff (SMU game)...
- Thread starter gary-7
- Start date
Agreed, and when the 3ball falls things look very different, it fell at a 50% rate, over 60% in the 1st half to build the cushion.
Roy used to say it all the time everything looks good when the ball goes through the basket!
The effort was the best all year and I dont care what anyone says when EC got into foul trouble we was forced to have our best combo of 5 IMO on the floor together.

We are small embrace it and learn to play with it.
We only won that game because we shot the ball well. We miss a few of those 3s and its a whole diff ballgame.
You really mean that shots going through the hoop influence the outcome of the game? Who woulda ever thunked it?
Maybe just maybe the shots were better cause they were wide open and not forced, and the right players were shooting. Drake taking more 3’s than say Withers. I have no problem with Withers taking the occasional 3 just to keep the defense honest but Drake is showing a better ability to make them
We won that game because we defended them with intensity! Even if we shot a lesser %, we were stoning them to the point that they had several segments of 3+ minutes without scoring a single basket! We got open looks and ensured the correct peeps took them. Ian and Drake matured in front of our eyes and Ian allowed others to eat (esp RJ) while Drake shot with confidence. BUT feel free to be miserable after an extremely fun win!
Hopefully they shoot the ball well going forward. The ball going into the basket, particularly from 3, tends to make the game much easier.
