SMU [21-4 (11-1), RPI: 25, SOS: 101] After starting 4-3, SMU's crucial win at Temple makes it 17-1 in its past 18 games, and the Mustangs were a bucket from a win at Cincinnati on Jan. 12. Former Duke transfer Semi Ojeleye has spent all season proving why he was signed by no less august a program than the Blue Devils in the first place; his latest demonstration came Thursday, with a 30-point, 10-rebound performance. We moved Tim Jankovich's team into the "should be in" category after that victory, and deservedly so. In the meantime, we can't wait for Sunday, when Cincinnati makes its return visit. SMU has spent the past month and change gradually raising statistically minded folks' eyebrows. Now we get to test our hypotheses: Just how good are these guys, anyway?
Glad to see they changed us.
Love the comment about the Frank Haith vs. Kelvin Sampson matchup: The Watch has cast its Sauronian eye in Houston's general direction. Sure, the Cougars lack quality wins and have nothing interesting on their resume, but, hey, so goes the bubble. They're not here yet, but they might get a long-shot spot with a win at Tulsa on Saturday.
(Which, by the way, features a Kelvin Sampson/Frank Haith coaching showdown, the basketball equivalent of a windowless van with "scholarships" spray-painted on the side. Seems legit.)
