I’m sympathetic to not having as much talent as we are accustomed to having. That’s one thing. But no excuses for terrible defense, terrible rebounding, and getting out hustled over and over. How do we look so unprepared and unengaged. Come on coaches! Put the bench in or whatever it takes to get the starters attention.

Agree. And the key comparison for tonight, is what is our talent compared to SMU's?
I cannot believe that their underlying talent is so much better as to kick our tushies around like this.
We just did not look ready from the start.
So reminiscent of all those years with Coach Haase.  A "Haasian start" as I referred to it.
