I didn't have us at 7-11 right now, but I did know what was going to happen in this game. There is only one thing that ever happens when we play at Moody, if history is our guide. We've seen this exact game four times in a row. Maybe not this bad, but close.
-It's just a really bad match-up, first of all, even by our standards. Everybody on their roster is between 6'3 and 6'8, and all of them are well-built, mobile types who can switch pretty much 1-5. They're probably literally the only team in the country that can do that and against a team like UConn it's lights out pretty quick.
-Brimah is definitely among the most frustrating players ever to play here, but for some reason I'm not mad at him for the T. One reflexive expression of anger in four years...I'll live. What we haven't lived with is his fouling. He's basically Grayson Allen except instead of tripping people he fouls.
-Adams isn't there yet. Jumper isn't good enough, and although it's unreasonable to ask him to play 40 minutes every night, I have the suspicion that he's not the most well-conditioned athlete we've ever had.
-I like the freshman. Granted, I'm sure I said that about Brimah and Purvis at points in their career, but still. Jackson looks like a keeper and Vital, in my completely unofficial opinion, just seems to have the make-up that you want. Durham is kind of a freak and continues to remind me of Anthony Davis. I'd like to get him as much tick as possible.
-Still not sure why Facey doesn't get more shots.
-Every starter for SMU had at least 2 assists and they finished with 22 on the game. Watching them, you'd never know Larry Brown left. This game is a great chance for some of these players to learn just how much you have to invest to be great defensively. What you saw tonight won't cut it.
