It was there for the taking. For roughly three-quarters of BC’s ACC home opener against the SMU Mustangs, they looked competitive. Despite the overall poor defense for most of the game, the offense working in fits and starts, they led by as many as eight in the first half. While they did not lead in the second half they cut the lead to as few as three. Then SMU made some adjustments – most notably switching to a zone defense – and BC collapsed. The offense was nonexistent and the defense’s dam burst in an ugly, ugly 103-77 loss.
