[mrydel]

Wow. That is nice.

[Pony ^]

I feel like SMU hasn't pumped this game up at all

Good point.

Garland is a tough sell.

KenPom predicts a 75-59 W for the Ponies.

(He has us losing only 3 games this year.)

What 3 teams does he have us losing to? I am guessing Gonzaga, UConn, and Cincinnati.

Note: his predictions change throughout the year, but at this point in time, his models say that we lose the following games:

Date
Tue Dec 29 Tulsa L, 67-65 44% Away
Thu Feb 18 Connecticut L, 66-63 38% Away
Sun Mar 6 Cincinnati L, 65-60 30% Away

I'll take it! That would be great for SMU and the American. We get a dream regular season while Tulsa, UCONN, and Cincinnati each get a signature win for their NCAA tournament resumes.

Will they honor the team before the game for last year's conference championship, and have 2015 on the banners?

[smusic 00]

Hope so. We need to update those banners.

[RGV Pony]

Took a trip out to Garland last night just to get a look at those banners

Why is this game in Garland?

[smusic 00]

That's where we play our preseason.

[Puckhead48E]

Joke. I understand we play preseason in Garland, but why is that?

It's at Moody, I was just joking around and getting nostalgic for that 45 minute drive.

[One Trick Pony]

If you come to moody you'll be coming to an empty stadium garland is where its at. Come on Man!

Don't knock the Culwell Center.

We were 6-0 there and averaged about 80 pts per game.

We also beat Sam Houston there by about 20 pts.

Not to mention that the drive from Plano was great - right down the Bush Freeway
and into the parking lot with no charge for parking. Don't get me wrong - I love
Moody Magic, but Culwell did a good job for us.

Tulsa is an interesting road game, I did not realize we played them on the road that early in the year.

They bring back the entire team and it seems nobody notices. This is going to be a really tough game for the Mustangs.
