Not terrible offense. The WSU players passed, went inside, and outside, and got a lot of super wide open 3 point shots, shot by normally good 3 point shooters, that were missed, and shouldn't have been missed.
WSU was about 1 for 9 from super wide open, good 3 point shots. And WSU was about 45% from hand in face bad 3 point shots.
WSU missed so many super wide open awesome 3 point shots. It was PATHETIC, TERRIBLE SHOOTING.
And because of that bad shooting, SMU players, including their 7-2 shot blocker, played PACK IT IN ZONE, CLOG THE PAINT, DONT LET WSU SCORE INSIDE DEFENSE.
If WSU had hit 3,4,5,6 of those 9 super wide open 3 point shots, not only would WSU have won by 3 points, but would have opened up the inside to score inside.
WSU's passing, driving, assist, LACK OF TURNOVERS, WAS A AWESOME OFFENSE, except for the bad shooting. WSU players DID NOT JUST JACK UP BAD 3'S nonstop. WSU's awesome offense set up awesome 3 point shot opportunities within the natural flow of the offense, that were pathetically missed.
Also SMU played EXTREMELY TOUGH, GOOD DEFENSE.
Terrible shooting, and 50% from the freethrow line, and the lots of SMU offensive rebounds, and 4th chance points by SMU, is why WSU lost, NOT supposedly just standing around and jacking up bad 3 point opportunities, shots.
WSU did not just stand around. They MOVED, SET SCREENS, PICK AND ROLLS, CUTS, GREAT PASSING, ETC.
And even the TV announcers said that WSU was just missing awesome shot opportunities.
