SMU about to go down to Tulsa!

[Kitaman]

We are now tied for 1st place in the conference. I don't know about you guys but I'd like to win the freaking AAC for once.

I still think its important that we beat SMU (despite their sad situation). I don't want an asterisk or commentary if SMU implodes or becomes demoralized. I'm a UConn fan and if we don't can't beat SMU this season, even I won't argue the '2015-2016' SMU commentary if we win the AAC.

I'll even take a split with SMU but I feel we can't lose both games.

Roscoe Smith @ Texas full court shot will always be my favorite worst game winner attempt

Maybe I'm wrong but i dont remember that as being a game winning attempt - just a stupid act near end of time

He thought there was 1 second left, so he tried a full-court shot. He didn't just toss the ball for the hell of it.

Presumably he means tied in the loss column (with both SMU and Temple). SMU can win the regular season.

That's correct

I watched some of this and maybe Tulsa does have some holes but they have talent and they move the ball and run offense really well. In a power five conference we have several teams that would be knocking off "numbers" quite often IMO.

No, with one second left we were up and he was trying to simply throw the ball way up and down court because nobody was open to inbound it to, but he forgot the clock doesn't start till someone touches the ball. Total brain freeze.

Somehow I feel you're either talking about a different play, or you've just completely erased it from your brain from humiliation.

I'm relatively certain he said he saw 11 seconds left on the clock and thought there was only 1 second left.

Great arm!

But then it also happened at the end of the first half against Iowa state in the NCAAs the following year.

Game was tied, Texas missed the go ahead layup and Roscoe heaved it across the entire court with 11 seconds still on the clock. Texas got the ball back with 8 seconds left and a chance to win.
