Texas beats SMU in “closed door” scrimmage

No score to update as of yet. 

Texas had five players in double figures. Guards and wings played really well. 

Texas sat out both Matas and Lassina (minor), and still won. 

SMU’s entire guard rotation played, as well as top big. SMU was 24-10 last year.

Heard Weaver scored 22.. that has to be a positive sign if true!

Two fast paced offensive coaches. SMU PG is really good and they can score it at guard 

Reminder, Texas two centers didn’t play today … but there were rotational situations that they have to improve 

Sean Miller wants to set the offensive pace

Sat both big men so lacked defensive rim protection but they will give up more points playing with more pace.

Faster the pace on O … better for Weaver. Transition, hustle plays and downhill attacking oops 

A big positive sign was Chendall Weaver scoring 22 points. In a more open style game his defense and athleticism should wreak havoc for Coach Miller who has been extremely complimentary towards his game. Reminds me a bit of Tony Allen for Oklahoma State back in the day if he can continue to improve physical strength and maintain aggressiveness offensively. 

Jordan Pope 15 off bench too

Texas played small … obviously

Was just told Nic Codie played VERY  well against the 7’1” SMU big

Codie was +18-20 in the matchup from what I heard 

Highest +\- on team

Weaver had double digit free throw attempts 

Heard he was 10-12 or 11-12 from line 

Fast paced, attacking and moving without the rock 

What does+\- mean?

Team outscored their opponent by how much (or the opposite) when said player was in game 

Thanks

Why did Traore and Vokietaitis not play? Traore should know the system as a Xavier transfer, but why no Matas live reps in exhibition play to prepare for season? 

Basketball season starts now

Minor injury for Matas. Didn't want to push it for no reason with a scrimmage. 

Traore is back healthy for full go practice, but they want him to keep building. 

Texas hit 11-29 from 3 Saturday 

Cam Heide 3-4 

Texas was up 87-77 with 2 mins left when Miller shut it down.

SMU hit a couple unguarded 3’s in last minute to make it 89-83

Dailyn Swain played a really good all-around game, as expected.
