Anything on top of that would be gravy. A W vs. UCONN, LOU, Memphis, more than one conference road W, etc.


Sounds a lot like the JJ approach.............

Not really. The UCONN, CIN, MEMPHIS, LOU that LB gets is a little bit different than the ones that JJ gets to play (and JJ did not even have to play LOU).

Just being realistic here. Stealing one or two vs the top three teams would be enough to put SMU in the NCAAs (as well as a run in the AAC tourney in Memphis).

Start making plans for Memphis - the AAC tourney will be a lot of fun this year with LOU in the mix.

Agree completely. Don't take a horrible loss, win the games they should, then a win or two over the top three definitely has them in the tourney and possibly top 25.

Yeah they looked like freaking h3ll in the Crosstown Classic with Xavier. And Xavier is pretty pedestrian this year, I'm really thinking SMU should win the game but at the same time, it's hard to know where SMU stacks up against good teams yet. But UC is very beatable.


That UC/Pitt game set basketball back 20 years. It was painful to watch.


You must have missed our 28 point performance vs UAB
