Jimmy Tubbs Jr. (February 16, 1950 – May 9, 2009) was a college basketball coach. A native of Oakwood, Texas,[1] he was head coach of the SMU Mustangs team from 2004 to 2006 before being fired related to NCAA violations.[2] (wikipedia)
I thought we put a full game together tonight. We needed this for our confidence because we're getting into the grind of conference play, and when you shoot the ball like that it always helps.
Things in college basketball are a lot more competitive than they used to be. We've seen upsets all over the place. I'm just happy to have a full deck of cards and having Bryan Hopkins back.
Once we got it to overtime, I felt decent about our chances. To force overtime was a credit to character and that we played extremely hard.
A lot of times when you push a kid to the limit, they don't like that. But I think it's different with Chris. His kids really care about him, and I think that's important in the success of the coach.
That McDonald kid, he just went off for 39 points. Enough said.
Great players do that. We had no answer for him.
I thought it was over and back. The official told me if he missed the call he was sorry. But that one call wasn't the reason we lost the game.
It was like two movies -- a horror movie on offense, but defensively, hey, one of the better ones. So you got a two-for-one.
Other kids were taking shots, they were just not making them.
He might be pressing a little bit, but he has to keep working. We'll start the same lineup in East Carolina.
