Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 2547188, member: 71"] I think the biggest difference was Vital hitting from deep early (at least after the first TV timeout). If he was shooting the way he shot against Memphis, things would have fallen apart quickly. We never really had the mentality in the SMU game that we needed to score quickly (and big, 3 points at a time) that we have had in other games. That allowed us to also feed inside, swing the ball to Polley (we did it twice in the first half where he obviously did not want to shoot), etc. This game was a start but I still don't have a lot of confidence in our ball handlers sticking with a 'run offense and move the ball' mindset if we have a double digit deficit ten minutes in (which easily could have happened against SMU if we didn't immediately erase the eight point deficit four minutes in).
