Our starters (points, boards, assists, fouls):

G. Clark 18 8 1 4
J. Evans III 18 4 4 2
J. Cumberland 14 4 4 1
K. Washington 9 8 0 3
J. Jenifer 7 2 4 2

We ran really good offense. If you look at it, we should have won by 30 with the wide open looks that did not go down in the first half.

Foh-tee deflections per mick in the postgame

Williams too IMO.

Agreed.

SMU has some QUALITY wins. Makes it that much better.

Updated conference standings:

Cincinnati 3-0 (14-2)
Wichita St. 3-0 (13-2)
UCF 3-1 (12-4)
Tulsa 3-1 (10-6)
Houston 2-1 (12-3)
Tulane 2-1 (11-4)
SMU 2-2 (12-5)
Memphis 1-2 (10-6)
UConn 1-2 (8-7)
E. Carolina 1-3 (7-8)
Temple 0-4 (7-8)
So. Florida 0-4 (7-10)

Should be a major shift up for UC in the AP tomorrow. Nearly every team lost!

Cumberland hit a big 3 when SMU cut the lead to 14.

He needs to do a better job of passing into the post.

That was fun. The guys were super active.

Went from 46 pregame to 34 now in RPI

Up to 8 in KenPom

SMU came in shooting 42% from 3 which was 6th in nation. UC held them to 31.6% tonight and gave them so few looks. Great 3 point defense. Ran them off the line with constant ball pressure.

Something like:

A. We can't coach offense.

B. We can't defend the perimeter.

C. Ono and the BOT were inept and we are stuck in this crappy conference.

D. We are damned good when we move the ball and hit shots.

E. Gary Clark is a problem.

F. Our recruiting sucks and next year is going to be awful.

G. This is going to be a fun year.

D, E and a bit of G.

Had a very nice chat with 'C's replacement. Even discussed realignment. Interesting discussion on his intimate knowledge of UofL's realignment efforts a few years ago.

If we can get Cumberland shooting the ball like he's capable we'll be fine. He's a full 10 pts below his %'s of last year both from the field and the ft line admittedly with more attempts. I do like the fact though that he keeps firing. He won't get on track unless he does. Up 14 at the half with he and Washington 2 for 15. Pretty amazing. Good win.

Without details that is a rather useless comment for the rest of us.
