SMU

[Kitaman]

Never thought I would feel disappointment over another AAC team, but this is one time I do.

I feel they were the Conference's best team.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Our conference is the joke among jokes.

THE AMERICAN!!

 

[UChusky916]

I don't mean to be an AAC homer, as if there is such a thing. I really am bullish on SMU. Does anyone else think they can win the East and potentially win it all. I think they are a match up nightmare and have only lost 4 games all season. 3 in the beginning before they were playing "positionless" and then one loss Jan 2 at Cinci. I dont see Baylor, Duke or Villanova beating them. Kansas to me is the one team that when they fire on all cylinders can beat anyone. That said, Kansas has internal issues with Josh Jackson. I know I am a homer and crazy but at 40-1. I really want to thrown down 5k and not tell the wife.

lol

AAC! AAC! AAC!

 

[kobe]

Very Cincinnati like March choke job by the Mustangs.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Yuck...
Maybe the American really just does suck.

 

[Sonofabeach]

Down goes SMU/ USC 66 SMU 65

fk 'em. Their fans (all 4 of them) on Reddit are miserable, so I'm glad they just got roasted.

Cincy fans are great tho. Want @kobe & co. to make a deep run.

 

[CTBasketball]

SMU forgot how to run a zone motion offense. They looked just like us.

 

[Mots010]

the aac champ got swept by the 5th place PAC 12 team

 

[The Viking]

What a choke
Stepping out of bounds missing free throws coming up the court as if you have 30 seconds to make a play
An absolute hideous choke job in the final minute

And this is their high point as a program! They're done now.

 

[kobe]

SMU's greatest 4 year run in program history culminates with zero NCAA Tournament wins. Yikes.

 

[ninety-nine]

Humiliating for the AAC and its programs. Way to prove the committee correct on seeding, though.

[Doctor Hoop]

Missed the game working, but holy smokes, that's astounding.

In the back of my mind it keeps telling me its our fault. We let the Conference down.

Why the fark aren't we representing??? (i.e. rhetorical).

IF you haven't already thrown down the money, give me the 5k and I'll never tell your wife. Promise.

 

[Palatine]

If the conference sucks so bad. Why can't we win it?

And/Or finish first place (for the technically minded).

He was channeling his inner Rodney Purvis. That was all I could think of when the dude stepped OOB.

I'm not surprised. SMU historically blows in the NCAAs.

 

[UConnStats]

Sterling Brown going out terribly. Missing front ends and stepping in the baseline at the end of the game. Inexcusable.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Actually disappointed. SMU winning a few games would have been around 10% of our TV deal payout.

 

[mauconnfan]

This board even has meltdowns when other teams lose, hilarious.

 

[UConnNick]

Congrats to the Trojans. They're a very resilient and tough minded team, and they've got talent. Beating SMU twice in the same season is no fluke.

 

[Dibbie]

Another dagger for the AAC! Get out any way you can...forget football, I don't want to sacrifice basketball for that failed experiment.

 

[whaler11]

SMU is aware of the concept of 'timeouts' yes?

 

[UConnNick]

Yeah, they took three of 'em to their grave. It was also a virtual home game for them.
