Tim Jankovich on the odds SMU guard Shake Milton plays in the AAC tourney: "Not good"

Uconn must really suck this year if we are predicted to win. Sad, for both of our programs.

Didn't UConn beat us when we had Shake?

Not predicting anything but seems they shot lights out against us and we threw up nothing but bricks.

I really hope we don’t play 2-3 zone 95% of the game. It’s the last couple games of the season. Go all out and mix it up a bit.

We need Chaggy and McMurray to play/shoot well.

shoot well today or go home early as a .500 team; really surprised we are favored to win this one. Talk about no respect for UConn

Could Ollie’s last game at UCONN be a loss vs a depleted SMU team? It would be an interesting footnote to our history with them.

I think this should be a good game... but after our loss @USF I don't feel good about playing in Florida.

I haven't felt good about this team since Jarrey and Ray went down. When Shake went out, virtually all hope was lost for me. A win today would be a pleasant surprise, but I would then expect another lopsided loss to Cincy to end the season

It would be nice to end the season with some semblance of momentum/pride/fight by beating UConn. Even if we lose by 20 to UC tomorrow.

i agree, but am not very hopeful. IMHO, one of the biggest problems we have of late (besides injuries) is that we are running rotations that have not been practicing together, and that have not been used to playing large number of minutes. given that we do not have 10 healthy players, it is tough to run the drills in practice. if we win, Jank will have pulled off a minor miracle.
