Re: Official NCAA Tourney Thread: SMU vs. USC

OK, upsets occur in the NCAA tournament. We are better than USC according to Sagarin and Kenpom for a reason. Sorry way to end the season, but an unbelievable season nonetheless. AAC champs and AAC tournament champs. Thanks seniors for a great year.

Re: 2016-2017 Bracketology Thread

My guess is our RPI would justify the number 4 - 3 seed or the number 1 - 4 seed, and we get screwed by four spots, so a small chance at a four seed, but a solid five.

Our winning the next five games is probably around a 30% chance.

Re: Baylor in the news again......

I you have not watched this video, it is bad.

Well over half of the Baylor fans @ baylorfans.com are minimizing the incident, excusing it, deflecting or directing blame elsewhere":

I really think our fans and posters would be much classier, but please if this crap ever comes to light on a SMU ...

Re: SMU opens -11.5 against UNT

SMU would be a 8.3 point favorite based on LY final Sagarin ratings, however SMU could/should be a bargain at that.

SMU returns 16 starters (including the QB). UNT returns 15 starters sans the QB and with a new coach. Bill Connelly projects that SMU's 16 returning starters are worth a whopping 5.4 ...

Re: 11-0

Undefeated for the season is pretty unlikely, however by February 1, we should be a 0, 1 or 2 loss team (3 losses at worst). Not many other teams will be there.

We still miss having the zen-like 3 point shooting that some teams have.

Sorry but the GAAP doesn't matter / marginal cost matters - fails miserably, and a Cox grad should know that. The marginal cost for you to stay at the Omni downtown Dallas is about $8.00. Why don't the smart business men there offer such a rate?

It may help that we no longer have a half-a$$ed coach who somehow thinks he's fabulous.

Re: Poll - Predict SMU's Seed

All four teams that we wanted to get wins yesterday from an RPI perspective (Arkansas, Tx Southern, Wyoming and Eastern Washington), did win.
