I anticipate that we could sell out next year on season tickets alone. If we have season tickets this year are we guaranteed those same seats? Also, what will the pecking order be to change or add additional tickets?

Moody may sell out but OOC will see a number of games worth relatively thin crowds

That said, my number one pick this year would be Parker without question. Dude already scores in bunches and has an NBA body right now. Might be the most physical force from a SF since Lebron. Jabari is the real deal and a can't miss even as good as Embiid and Wiggins are.

I would take Parker before Wiggins. Parker will be a an absolute stud in the NBA. Eman will be a better pro than Wiggins too. Book it


Both fair assessments. As far as EM vs Wigs, I think Wigs has a higher ceiling, but EM has a higher floor. Wigs has athletic skills that you don't see often. EM is a HUGE pickup, but you may be blowing your wad just a bit early for a guy that needs to continue developing as a shooter.

You're right. I was a little caught up in the moment last night (beer). Wiggins has the size and length. He'll be an outstanding pro but ill standby by Eman will be better prediction. 8)

Love Eman, but it gets tougher to score in college when you can't shoot and they can junk d you. He's a physical monster for the position, but I'm just not expecting huge numbers

I'm pretty sure we should out of season tickets this year. My understanding is that if you are a season ticket holder you get the first right to repurchase your tickets and if you do not re up during that period the tickets are then offered based on mustang club priority points.

Next year will be nuts. I think our new floor for home games will be 6k in the building (not sure we will sell out games against teams like road island ect). I would expect most conference games to be sell outs especially the end of the year games, UCONN, Memphis, and Cincy will be hot tickets.

I have heard there is already a waiting list for next year's season tickets.

Unless there is additional roster carnage, I would expect SMU to open top 15 and stay 10-20 throughout the year. That in itself will create excitement (to couple with EM). That said, the AAC will be down next year and that will serve as a fun sponge counterbalance. The "faithful" will be there against the likes of tHe Northwest Technical Kentucky Institute for the Blind, but all the top teams (x-SMU) will be down, we lose L'ville, and we add some, ahem, work in progress schools. Love Dman with a passion, but Tulsa isn't a steal. My guess is many try to use SMU tickets as his/her next get rich scheme, but I wouldn't mortgage the house.

Buckle up and get ready for a fun ride.

I didn't mention it but temple will probably be a good draw next year as well. They had a down year this year but they are traditionally a tournament team and I'd expect them to get back to that sooner rather than later.

I have a feeling he will live in the gym between now and November working on his jumper. It's not like he can't shoot. He just needs to get more consistent.

I've been told that between season tickets, student tickets, and tickets held for 'promotions' that next year is already a sell out. Thats a sell out in name only of course, but pretty incredible to think about

If Keith can't deliver,I guess we ask Nic to score more? We need a shooter like Hancock desperately.

A lot of people I spoke to just got on the bandwagon too late. I told a few friends last year to get in and some did. Although, most called the ticket office after seeing their first Moody game in 20 yrs. I bet they have gotten a ton of calls. Does this die down after the newness of it all? How many season tix did we sell this yr?
