HARTFORD, Conn. – SMU entered the postseason with one unanswered question that stems from a good problem.
In all 27 of SMU’s wins this season – prior to Friday – SMU had not been tied in the final minute of a game. The reason, of course, is because its average margin of victory in conference play was nearly 18 points per game. It begs the question: What would SMU do when it inevitably finds itself in a tight game in the final minute(s), or when it trails by a basket? It’s the postseason, where those scenarios are all too common.
