I know we are all down on Dumphy and this team but since Big Earnest has been inserted in to the lineup things seem much more achievable. The last five games have been encouraging, defense has improved offensively new players step up each night. My stomach had a flitter of excitement last night, yes it was LaSalle but things seem to be jelling. I still can't stomach Dingle and Bond at the foul line, Bond jump shoots of any kind and an appearance of Williams on the court. But yet an SMU win almost seems plausible.
