SMU down 12 to Northern Iowa with 3 to go in the first half.

If Waters was 6'1 instead of 5'10 he would be 1 and done. Kid is special, had 39 on the night.

Hey, at least if they lose they get a crack at Arizona!

Really looking forward to this WSUvs ND game. ND has looked unstoppable in Maui, first test of the season in WSU. Good look at the level UConn needs to play in conference.

SMU loses another tournament game this time to UNI in the Battle 4 Atlantis 61-58. 3 upsets later in the Bahamas who had NC State vs UNI in their bracket??

 

[Jimdish255]

Great first half for Wichita State vs ND. ND cuts it to 10 early 2nd. And back to 13.

 

[ivrytontusker]

WSU with the moving-screen-on-every-possession strategy.

 

[superjohn]

The Shockers ND game is great.

 

[Jimdish255]

Except 8 fouls to 3 against WSU brought ND all the way back.

 

[Jimdish255]

Morris just lost his mind and Wichita is frustrated into jacking NBA 3's late in clock. All the momentum with ND.

He wanted the keys to the vehicle from the start and Ollie wasn’t going to give that to him so he went elsewhere.. it happens! As I watch the game he has the green light to do whatever he wants whenever he wants. Ollie’s a coach to reign a guy in, which would’ve made him n his dad frustrated to the point he’d transfer out the following year anyway, especially what happened last year with said dad n player .. So I’m happy

Agree with much of this but at this point it doesn’t even look like KO is letting Jalen run the offense so would it really be the worst thing to have TW running our offense right now?

So sick and tired of being in a league of pathetic mid major chokers.

 

[superjohn]

Fun game but the Shockers pretty much blew it down the stretch.

Yuuuuuup.

 

[Jimdish255]

Ugh. Had it but couldn't hold on.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

That was a pretty crushing defeat. I so desperately want the AAC to be respectable.

On the other hand, Wichita State are still really freaking good.

 

[Tenspro2002]

WSU choke you could see coming a mile away.

Was there any doubt that ND would score down 1 with 3 seconds left?

Reminded me of the SMU NCAA 1st round choke jobs of the last 2 years.

And Wichita was without one of their best players and Shamet isn't even close to 100%. Pretty awful day for us considering the Shockers blew a game they should have won and will be full strength for the games against us and Zona loses without Rawle Alkins.

 

[Jimdish255]

Well 2 more big games tomorrow. Need a strong showing by the good guys. Have a great Thanksgiving! Football in the am.

Yup, the season is over. It was fun while it lasted!

Yes. Shamet had an off night and they are still missing their leading scorer from last year. This is a FF team when 100% healthy.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

PC wins, BC comes back, SMU falls short, and WSU steadily erodes. Blech.

 

[navery12]

I'm not sure that team will be good enough to make the NCAA tournament this year, but if they do I wouldn't be surprised if he's 1 and done anyway. He's the type of player who could put on a show in a couple of games in March and get himself drafted in the 1st. Doubtful but it wouldn't shock me

 

[champs99and04]

Wait, who is WSU's leading scorer from last year?

This is how they end up as KenPom warriors every year.
