In his rather pissy postgame presser after the Mustangs fell by 14 at Louisville 18 days ago, SMU coach Andy Enfield gave but peripheral credit to the Cards for the W. And repeated several times to several different questions, “Two assists, ten turnovers. Two assists, ten turnovers.” His team lost cohesion in the 2d. The […]

It is impossible to replace nearly 40 points per game, and even if you can beat Pittsburgh short-handed, UNC found out every game wouldn’t come that easy without Caleb Wilson and Henri Veesaar. They had an abysmal first half that they could not recover from in a 82-58 loss to the Wolfpack. Shots were just […]
