SWC Regular Season and Tournament Champions

Has SMU ever recognized that Team? Its our only Regular and Tournament Champion team plus the quality NCAA Tournament victory. Probably the most satisfying season in Half of a Century. Kato should be in the SMU Hall of Fame

Kato was fantastic to watch - one of SMU's best ever.

Love these quotes:
`Kato has the knack of following our defensive player down the court,``

said Phelps. ``It`s hard to pick him up. It`s almost like a running screen. By the time you catch up to him, he`s shooting the ball.``

``They got back on defense,`` Armstrong said, ``but they had their backs turned to me. I took advantage of that.``


Maybe SMU will honor that team next year, after honoring the Koncak team this year. Though I TV it is one of my favorite SMU sports memories. Armstrong schooled David Rivers.

As a ND hater, it doesn't get better than beating ND on St. Patrick's Day in the NCAA Tournament.
An atheist is a guy who watches a Notre Dame-SMU football game and
doesn't care who wins.
