Agreed. Hopefully he realizes it'll help his team and himself (with the scouts) if he gets his emotions under control. Realizing that RIGHT NOW would be nice.

Not that it makes a difference but these refs are horrendous.

25 fouls on EMU with 10 min to go. Don't breath on smu.

If it's a competitive game in the 2nd half, I'll be very happy. This team already looks like a MAC contender. We are much better than we were last season.

Indeed. You are 100% correct. Apparently EMU also had delayed travel, will travel very late today and plays again Tuesday morning.

I am not panicking....but PITT and SMU exposed our weakness: Double down on Thompson and make EMU beat you from outside. It didn't help that our legs are tired but shooting will be our weakness. We only have Lee and Magnum that can hit outside shots consistently.

Vikings went down in D.C. vs. Redskins helping the Lions...

good point. the constant doubles on JTIV and the occasional doubles on our guards caused trouble. Thompson is good at recognizing the double, but i would like to see him get rid of the ball a bit earlier, and i would like to see more players cut to the basket when he's doubled. i didn't see a lot of that tonight.
