Have to love Ferson's "I wasn't gonna let you guys down. Send 'em to the Big East!" And Kendric clearly likes Jank. I know there are a lot of Jank haters on this board, but coach clearly has a good relationship with his PG and has been an important part of his development.

Jank's 23-10 record (almost 70%) in AAC play at Moody is one number that I'd like to see improved on, but with the degree of difficulty the remaining home schedule has I'm afraid that it will get worse before it gets better. With 9 home games in AAC play, I'd like to see any SMU team win at least 75% of it's conference home games which means winning at least 7 of 9 games every year but with a really good team, I would hope for 8 or even 9 home wins. Hopefully our guys can get at least 2 of the 3 vs Houston, Memphis & Wichita State to finish this season.
