SMU Part II

Thursday, March 3rd, 2022
7:00 PM
Moody Colliseum
ESPNU

The Bearcats end their 21-22 regular season tonight at SMU (20-7, 11-4 AAC, NET #50, KenPom #56) who are aiming to earn their first NCAA tournament bid since 2017.

Despite losing 2 of their last 4 games, the Mustangs are still undefeated at home this season with their most notable win coming against Houston 3 weeks ago.

The Mustangs could earn as high as the #2 seed in next week's AAC tournament, while the Bearcats must win tonight to secure the #7 seed and avoid a potential quarterfinal match-up with league champion Houston.

Despite beating SMU 9 consecutive times, including a 77-60 home victory in early January, the Bearcats are 7-point underdogs on the road tonight.

Wes Miller is a joke. Zero basketball iq and lets his team take terrible shot after terrible shot. Madsen doesn’t know what box out means and Saunders is a wasted possession waiting to happen.

But Hensley had a cool dunk.

There was a lot to applaud in that game and just as much to be frustrated about.

The season is as good as done now.

We play the loser of Saturday's ECU/Wichita game in the 8/9 game next week and then we get Houston in the quarterfinals.

I actually thought the team played well. Vik needs to play more and more. Defensively he struggles, but he has touch that no one else has.

I thought they got screwed with officiating (luckily this game was irrelevant or I would have been livid)

How can you honestly tell the best high school kid from your own city since OJ Mayo he's not good enough for this dumpster fire roster?

I actually called this from day one. Wes coaches straight AAU ball and likes to play all his players no matter what. Isaiah Miller got him to UC and I said if he wasn't coming with him this hire was failure. The man runs a dude that's not catch and shoot around like he Reggie Miller. No coach in America would run the sets Wes does for players.

I know you are very high on PM, but he isn't even a top 100 recruit. Look at the other schools recruiting him, it's not like he is an unknown.

Idk care about ranking when I've seen player myself. Literally every D1 prospect in city has UC but the best prospect. I'll take him now over Madsen and MAW.
