[Harry0569]

Winner gets the #1 seed in the conference tourney.

KenPom predicts us to win 67-59 (80% win probability)

Let's get nuts.

I hope Cinci destroys them on Wednesday

If Cincy beats them and somehow we lose to Tulsa - what happens? Same record and a split on the H2H.

Co-Champs?

Or does it come down to record vs. next best team? If so - that would end up being Cincy.

Of course, I think we will just take care of Business and exorcize the demons of Willie Davis.

If Cincy beats Tulsa we will both come into Saturday's game at 14-3. Saturday's winner is conference champ. I believe the Cincy/Tulsa outcome is meaningless in determining the conference champ.

This just in: Tulsa fans already complaining about the refs.

With all due respect to my good friend, LA Mustang, we haven't punched our ticked to the big dance yet. Lose our last 3 games and someone WILL leap frog over us.

Not only is this game for the #1 seed, it's also a game for the big dance.

Let's get there EARLY and show Tulsa what Moody Magic looks like.

Pony Up!

I hope Tulsa loses to Cincy, then we can win the conference with a better record than Tulsa. Not sure what the rules are if we have the same record.
Tulsa game will also be senior day - that part should start 15-20 minutes before game time so we need to be there early for that.

I hope SMU begins advertising the [deleted] out of this game starting today since we will have no students there.

Seems kind of early for Spring Break, but I guess it is (I remember it starting more towards the middle of the month).

We are a lock my friend.

[Pony_Law]

I agree that we are a lock, but if we lose this game and the first round of the AAC tournament I could see us falling to an 8 or 9 seed given the committee's proven lack of disrespect toward the conference.

Spring break starts on Monday for everyone in Dallas. I had delay my trip out of town in order to attend the game.

Other than RPI, what's different from last year? We were having the same conversation at this time last year - we were about to drop out of the top 25 and we were all discussing seeds then we lose to Louisville and then Houston. Same thing could happen here. No such thing as a lock unless you're top 10-15.

[LA_Mustang]

We had three really bad losses last year, none this year. That is beyond huge. While we still have the chance at one (second round of the AAC tourney), we are safe.
