SMU is going to be a tough matchup for us. They are relentless on the boards, and were sending all five players to crash versus Louisville.

We're going to need to put on our big boy britches for them.

They are 25th in offensive rebounding %. We are 29th. As a comparison some other teams we have played.
Cincinnati - 7
Louisville - 19
Florida - 24
LSU - 36
Oklahoma State - 184
USF - 194
Temple - 221

But they're also 25th in defensive rebounding, while we're 224th.

Louisville is 258th so I suspect Brown will employ a similar tactic against us; send everyone to the offensive glass to Memphis/Louisville has to utilize their guards to help rebound and they can't get out on the break.

That worked for Cincinnati but can backfire since it can lead to some transition points for us.

This outcome was settled last Thursday. Looserville will be a busted hornets nest and SMU will feel the sting.

Yep, Pellom, Shaq and Austin need to be ready to be physical with SMU. I didn't see that aggression all game during the Cincy game. The SMU game can easily turn into the Cincy game, where we get outrebounded and find ourselves down 8 or so, and SMU just clogs the lane and slows down the game to completely take our offense away.

The game was played on Sunday, and it was fairly competitive before Louisville put it away very late.

Dang, missed another one. I have it ready to record in a few minutes. It must be a replay.
