I feel like we're a sweet 16 or elite 8 team that got put up against one of the top teams in the nation because of east coast bias. UCLA lost 4 games all season. @USC (a tourny team), @Oregon (a 3 seed), and twice to Arizona (a 2 seed) one on the road and one during the conference tournament. Theye had absolutely no bad losses at all and somehow are seeded higher then teams with 8 losses. We (along with UCLA) got the absolute shaft due to their miss seeding. I think we handle pretty much any other 3 seeded team.

You're right, also I feel that our worst matchups will always be the teams that have insane offenses like UCLA does. I honestly feel that we could have beat UK if we hadn't had to face UCLA first. I guess we will find out when the two teams play

It was a very satisfying season, and I don't think a lack of conference hardware or no Sweet 16 berth should take away from that.
Our starting 5 should be even more potent next season and we'll be adding additional weapons to the bench. The future is very bright. |

Fun season, ended up being one my favorite all time teams. Sure, would of loved to gone farther, but may have just lost to the national champs in the second round. 30 wins, beat X. This season shouldn't be the standard, but I'm not mad about it.

Pleased overall. Terrible luck in the seeding and SMU going 17-1 in conference doesn't diminish the season for me. Excited about the direction of the program and looking forward to next year.

I was entertained and enjoyed the team. I just thought that UC really doesn't expect victory in big games. This was MC's best team and they only won 1 tourney game. He was making excuses for not having a good enough defense a few weeks ago. Twenty five years is a long time.
