The Official SMU Game Thread

[champs99and04]

The fact that Ollie took that timeout after the turnover rather than before when we had the chance to put Vital back in is beyond perplexing.

 

[Kitaman]

Foul to give? We only got 3 guards!

 

[HawkHusky]

Should be up by 10+ between missed free throws and rebound welfare. SMH.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

How many times have we led SMU at the half?

 

[intlzncster]

Brian O’Connell is the worst ref who gets a huge schedule. That guy sucks.

Teddy Valentine just abdicated the throne.

 

[TRest]

We probably can’t play better than that.

 

[Javjudah]

Gilbert would have made a huge difference on this team. Anderson should never play more than 10 minutes per game.

 

[JustbrewitMan]

I don't mind Anderson's aggression. He's played 5 games straight in fear. Good to see him get his cojones back...

I agree. He just needs to dial it back a little bit and be SMARTLY aggressive.

 

[80shusky]

Get the ball inside to Carlton.

 

[tjc1888]

When was the last time we had a highlight dunk?

How bout our first pts tonight?

 

[BugsyCT]

At the very least, at the NCAA Division I level, you should be able to hit your free throws. Some of these guys on our team have the worst technique. They don't set, they hurry the shot, looks like they just hurl it up and hope it lands in the hoop. SMH

 

[Kitaman]

Yeah and I'm still not excited. If the TV was muted my wife would think I'm reading.

What did they spend 5 minutes looking at on the Vital steal?

Um wow we missed a foul - now what?

Oh wait there isn’t anything we can do.. let’s watch it a few more times.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

I thought Anderson was supposed to at least hit FTs

Was getting my popcorn. Now I have to wait 10 more games.

Those two guys at the end are 84% & 81%. They have to make the damn things.

Gave me a chuckle.

 

[whaler11]

UConn is 53rd in the country in FT%.

So maybe relax with the 4 ft sample?

No argument from me.

Life in the American...

First in the conference too

To be fair, I hate that coaches can call timeouts in between the two free throws. It's like icing the kicker in football. And the ref also iced Jalen on his first one too. He was blabbering on about something and Jalen's facial expression changed. I wonder what that idiot said to him...

Was gonna say it's damn near last on my list of gripes

 

[Northbound]

I just punched "UCONN SMU score" into google and I got 28-49 and I said out loud "come on down 20 at half." Then I looked and it was the football score from this past season. How sad is that that I actually thought it was the halftime score.

 

[Edward Sargent]

Milton hurt himself trying to sell a foul.

Edit: ok, on that angle looks like they may have knocked heads.

They knocked heads after Vital had the ball

 

[UConnDan97]

I'm just going to get it back on record in the game thread now: we might still lose, but I caught a hell of a lot of crap from a hell of a lot of posters last week when I said that SMU was a similar team to us. I think the first half supported that statement, and hopefully I won't catch anymore crap... at least for that...
