Just hope UNM Coach Richard Pitino is right when he said:
"I think they are an NCAA tournament team," he said. "They've got veterans, 1,000 points scorers. They're old. We still cannot find a way to get a stop when we need to. We cut it to eight or nine in the second half a couple of times. Couldn't get a stop. I like the fight in the second half. I thought it was good. But give SMU credit. They're where we want to be in a couple of years. They're a really talented team."
