player ready...This is too good to ignore: SMU has an official brick as a sponsor (Acme, if you must know), which makes it only appropriate that the Mustangs are last in the SWC in scoring (70 points per game) and free-throw shooting (54.8 percent) and sixth in field-goal shooting (42.5 percent).
In more relevant news: Joining upsets as a trend this season is the fine whine. This art is practiced by coaches who feel their teams (boo-hoo) are ignored and, quite naturally, ignores the facts.
Take Washington State coach Kelvin Sampson, whose Cougars are a modest 14-5. He says: “I can’t understand the lack of respect for Washington State. We don’t get any votes. That’s tough for me to explain to our players. I don’t have any answers.”
Or take Texas coach Tom Penders, whose 12-6 Longhorns have fallen to the three ranked teams they played. Says he: “Take (16-2 and 8th-ranked) Louisville and give them our schedule, and their record would be no better.”
Then there are the coaches of the Big Eight, who generally believe that their conference is (no surprise here) underrated and ignored. “I think that the West Coast and East Coast look down their noses on the Big Eight,” is the way Kansas’ Roy Williams puts it. “I don’t think we have the respect this year we’ve had the last three, four years.”
Such a shame, isn’t it?
