Todorovic looks like he is going to be a player. Very confident.

[redpony]

do we play any ranked teams in ooc or just these directional pushovers?

You have a short memory, #12 Oregon crushed us on Friday night.

[redpony]

ha, old age does that to you. plus I haven't watched a bball game for over two years. waiting for a coaching change before I return.

SMU has a pretty good non conference schedule. This Sunday we play in a tournament in Orlando where we play Missouri, then hopefully Florida St. on Monday who is ranked.

We also play UNLV, Vanderbilt, Dayton, New Mexico, and Evansville before conference play starts.

Then when league play starts, we play Houston, Memphis, Cincy, Tulsa and Wichita State each twice.

You might want to watch this year. Jank's freshman class actually looks pretty solid in the early games.
