Actually effort does go a long way to win games and lack of effort certainly loses them. I was right behind the bench and I have to say that these guys are still fighting, still trying and still bringing the effort. It may not always look pretty and get results, but they are working their tails off. It is really hard to play 5-7 guys only at D1 level against anyone let alone a very strong team of athletes like SMU. For them to be in it in second half without Jalen was amazing IMHO. No Larrier, No AG, No JA, and a bunch of guys that were trying to get it done that had not really before this year - nice effort! Unfortunately we got the bad Purvis (that TO down 5 or 6 that lead to a breakout layup was just disastrous) and the bad AB (he has to make a 3 foot shot). At the end of the day, I honestly thought most of their three's were contested and they made them, many of ours were not and we missed. That's basketball. Love the onions of CV!!
