We are an NIT team

[ponyte]

Not entirely ready to throw in the towel. WE have nine games left. We go 6-3 and then win at least one , hopefully two tourney game I think we have a shot to get in. WE have some quality wins and we are not the unknown we once were.

If Shake decides he is going pro and wants to improve his draft position, he needs to put this seasons success and a trip to the tourney on his back ala WS. People love the individual story - anyone heard of anyone else on the OU squad this season other than Trae Young? If Shake starts to grab headlines with significant contributions to an SMU win streak - they will also tie to the last second shot he missed last year to take us to the second round - everyone loves the revenge story.

You want to be a script writer for SMU sports?


LOL....kinda like being the booking rep for the Titanic.

So you're saying hold off on the Hicks Heisman piece?

At least until you interview the HVAC guys for the IPF. I heard they are behind the reseat.

Thank Gawd we're a football school!

Let's just hope these guys can find 4 more wins the rest of the way and get to 9-9 in AAC play. Will need Shake back to do that but even with a 19-12 regular season and a 1st round loss in the AAC Tourney (certainly a possibility) I think a 19-13 SMU team is NIT bound but probably road warriors. We might get a high enough seed to get a 1st round game at Moody because ESPN loves Moody Magic.

We are definitely an NIT team and will get a home game or two, unless Shake is gone the rest of the season. I don't think that's going to happen tho.

[Rebel10]

Without Shake a CIT team maybe?

I don't even want to think about Shake being gone the rest of the season.

Same. Didn't they say bruised hand on the broadcast? I guess that could be the same language as Jarrey with "a knee sprain".

PLEASE don't let that be the case, but he does have a professional career to consider

One bruised hand and a dislocated finger on the other hand? Not good

And he has to consider that strongly and not risk anything. Frankly it's not worth it. Selfishly I pray he comes back as I want the chance to cheer for him in Moody a few more times. Such a tremendous, unselfish player that will be so greatly missed.

Right haha. We probably need to win at least 3 games to make NIT. Should get 1 with USF, but need to get two more from the remaining regular season/conf tourney to have a good shot of getting in the NIT. That will be tough without Shake.
