Edogi needs to guard someone. He is covering the paint but his man keeps making threes.

I'm steaming. We're up 1 then that bogus tech now we're down 10. We need to settle down and chip away, at least until the refs give SMU more points.

Korita is out hurt I guess that's why Atson is playing? I'd prefer we play Battle or the walkon over Atson though. He either hasn't learned anything on defense all season or just doesn't care. No effort on that end though.

Also, Atson is open all day on offense but nobody will pass to him. Please take him out.

I'm going to stop watching at half time. SMU is really good, especially at shooting. We make them look even better at shooting by leaving them wide open.

It's almost funny. Every time SMU scores you look and Atson was the "defender". He is so small they are taking him. I too would to like to see Battle.

Wheeler must not understand the concept of drive and dish. With him, it's drive and throw up a prayer with 4 guys crashing down on him, with 3 of our guys open on the perimeter.

We've gotten good shots. Just can't shoot. They can. They win

This game is like the Elite Eight year when we played TCU at the end of the season and David Shelton had more points at half than TCU.

SMU is playing guys that haven't played all year. And there still two minutes to go in the first half. At least they'll miss some shots and lower their shooting percentage to about 60%.

I don't think we've ever had a player quite like Wheeler. Andrews played out of control a lot, but not like this. I guess he's ok on defense? He ends a lot of possessions.

I hope my excitement for the new recruits doesn't lead to the disappointment I've felt with Atson. From watching highlights of all the 2016 I thought for sure Atson was going to be the star of the bunch.

Maybe I'm just a lot worse at evaluating players than I give myself credit for.

I would play Artison and Henderson 20 minutes each the second half and give them some playing time. Good for next year. Igbanu and Magnay too.

I think Haith is saving the guys legs for Tulane. Back to back road games not likely to win this one.

Every recruiting expert said same thing. They had never heard of Igbanu or Magnay.
