Temple ended up losing to Penn St in first round of the NIT.

UH is up today in the tourney with a 6-11 match-up with San Diego St.

Disappointed we only got one team into the NIT. Will be pulling for Houston, Cincy and Wichita St to make some noise. Houston and TCU both playing in the 6/11 game that we fared so poorly in. CUSA teams looked good in NIT 1st round games so Wichita State's game against Marshall might be a lot tougher than the seeding suggests

Rob Gray with a cut-throat 3 with about 20 seconds and a killer dribble drive to beat SDSU with 1.1 left. They blew a 13 point lead and had 2 starters who fouled out. Could have been real trouble if Gray didn't win it with 1.1 seconds. 39 points for Gray

That was an exciting game.

When was the last time SMU won a game in the dance I was trying to find that online and came up empty.

Beat Notre Dame on St. Patrick's Day in about 1988 behind Kato Armstrong's 29 points who made David Rivers look silly

SMU's most recent NCAA tournament win is from 1988.
TCU's most recent NCAA tournament win is from 1987.

They better [deleted] lose tomorrow.

PAC 12 really does suck. Buffalo manhandled Arizona-25 right now with 1 minute left and it doesn't even look like an upset. Buffalo a No. 13 seed is better. I think the AAC is a tougher conference

Can't believe it but SMU only dropped to No. 65 in Sagarin despite 17-16 record-how is that possible?

No doubt. The AAC is a great basketball conference. I'm really hoping this is the year our teams actually prove it... other than 2014 UConn, the NCAA tournament performance has been terrible.

I'm (begrudgingly) happy for Houston. Gonna be cheering hard for Cincinnati and Wichita State tomorrow.

And let's not forget USC got a one seed in the NIT but struggled to beat UNC-Asheville in Los Angeles in OT. Really is a down year for the PAC-12
