📝 Larry Lewis Game Recap: Tulsa tripped up by SMU

[Chris Harmon]

The best teams make their own breaks, and thus, are perceived to be good, and get even more breaks.

Tulsa has not reached the point of making its own breaks. TU couldn't capitalize on its many chances to finish off what could have been a wonderful comeback, and the result was a really disappointing 74-69 loss to hated rival SMU in front of a crowd of 2,614 at the Reynolds Center.

Tulsa (6-6, 0-1) almost overcame a 19-point second half deficit to SMU (10-3, 1-0), but couldn't come closer than within 3 points.

I watched the game and while I think there were some missed calls. I don't think it cost us the game. I think the missed lay-up to get with one before half time just killed us. Then the horrible 3 at the end of the game as well.

That shot clock violation that wasn’t called or reviewed changed the momentum in that last two minutes imo

Yep we would have been down by 1 early on in the stint where we couldn't score for 7 straight possessions. That was definitely a shot clock violation. The clock said 0 before he released the ball.

What got me on that is the types of shots we were taking in that stretch. Griffin putting a layup hard off the backboard. ITS A LAYUP!!! Whatever Off balanced shot that Horne put up from Bixby. 🤦‍♂️
