This conference is so much fun. The tournament is going to be awesome.

The only thing more embarrassing about asking if we should storm the court for SMU is actually storming the court for SMU.
Yikes

Negative Nelly coming in…..here’s my concern with this matchup….
It comes down to athletes and defense. SMU’s defense statistically is just as good as ours. But I think our defense (which is elite) is a system defense. Meaning our offensive pace has a lot to do with our defensive performance. (That’s not a bad thing. It won us 30+ games last year and has turned this program around. So don’t think I’m saying it’s bad. It’s great and I’m 100% on board. It’s a great system) however, I don’t know how SMUs defense is so good. But I do know they scored 103 points last game. They’ve scored 80, 90 multiple times. They held the most athletic team in the conference, Memphis to 62 points. Yes they only scored 59 against Memphis. But we just got held to 44 by Charlotte. We couldn’t score 103 points if we wanted to….
So does SMU out athlete their opponents to hold them down on defense? Do they have a system? I just don’t know if I like the matchup….I’m going to assume we’ll be home underdogs. I hope the pit is rocking Thursday. Going to need it packed. I think we are going to have to play REALLY well to win this game. Much better than we have the past few games.
Don’t misunderstand anything about my post…..we get to play the game at the Super Pit where we are VERY hard to beat. Fill that place up and it’s even harder. On Paper, SMU should win. But the game isn’t played on paper. It’s going to be played at the pit. This is going to be fun….we have to be locked in and if we are we will win

Come on boys. Dig deep.

We look tired.
need to get Jones and Buggs back. Glad we pulled that game off the other night. Really needed that W

Man. Edward’s head is just somewhere else today.
-
7-0 runs feel like 20-0 runs
-
Damn this is fun to watch though…..a meaningful conference game. In the thick of it

No way Edwards stays that cold in the 2nd half. After a horrendous start, we’re fine. Guys should feel good going into the lockerroom.
Yep. I wouldn’t be happy if I’m a Charlotte fan
-
YES
Huge by Allen.
after our start this is great going into the half.
-
5 point deficit at the half seems like a huge positive

They’re doing a good job of keeping us off the offensive boards

Don’t know about you guys, but I think Aaron Scott is playing soft. Every time he drives to the basket, he doesn’t dip his shoulder to get leverage. Instead, he gets mirrored and just kicks it back out. Need more from him…lot more.
I don’t agree with that

Scott and Allen are good in the paint. Of we’re not hitting outside would like to see more opportunities for them down low

I’m hoping this isn’t going to start to make us realize that although we’re 4-0, we haven’t beaten any of the top teams in the AAC. Today is the first game against one of the top teams. Big game today to see where this team is….
need a run here

Pretty much the worst start we could have…

I just don’t know if we’ve played anyone the past few years that moves the ball like FAU does. They are so good at it.
