The game was very entertaining because it was close from the opening jump through the final whistle. I don't think either team ever had a lead greater than 3-4 points the entire game. The defense by both teams was very tight. In the end, I think the Mustangs lost because Wyoming's defense turned out to be a shade better and more consistent., and SMU did not execute down the stretch, not to mention a couple of late 3 pointers from Wyoming's center which was not expected.
An additional comment. I go to one or two SMU basketball games a year and this was my first this season. There were more people in the stands that in games past and I am guessing there will continue to be more and more people attending due to Coach Larry Brown's efforts and legacy and it would not surprise me if SMU gets to sellout situation either next year or the year after.
