Championship Game (CBS) 9:35a UAB to the Dance.

posted in another thread, but yours is cleaner.

same results as you round one

I think UCF beats UAB
Memphis over USM
UTEP over Marshall
Tulsa over SMU

Memphis over UCF
UTEP over Tulsa

Memphis over UTEP

Winning the Tulsa game would be great, but I'd be happy with Rice.

Sorry - there is no way Tulsa beats SMU this time.

I am oddly more confident that we would beat Tulsa than I am that we will beat Rice 3 times this season.

Championship Game (CBS) 9:35a SMU go dancing. And as SMU goes, so go I

If smu gets by rice we can beat Tulsa

certainly hope we can at least get a 1st round win, but like they say...it's tough to beat a team 3 times in the same year when the two teams are competitive with each other, as it the case with SMU and Rice.

I don't see us playing more than 2 games tops. We just don't have the bench you need to survive these marathon events, especially when we don't have the 1st round bye.

I didn't pay enough attention to everyone's rosters this year, but look for a team that is 10 deep to have the best shot at beating UTEP on their home court.

Kazemi has been a non-factor and we need to keep it that way.
SMU beats Rice, and loses to TU by 10.

UAB / UTEP final, UAB by 2.

Local rag had the line as SMU -1 this AM. Pretty disappointing that we are barely picked to beat a team we handled twice during the season. 3 game losing streak will do that. Reduce turnovers and really work [deleted] the defensive boards a e crucial Wed.

SMU shouldn't lose to Rice in football or basketball, ever! Pony Up!

Pomeroy Ratings predicts Southern Methodist 62-61 (51%)

I think their ratings are the most fundamentally solid, and are a great predictor of games.

Central Florida 68-65 (66%)

Southern Mississippi 74-66 (81%)


Marshall 75-65 (84%)

while that would be great, I still think Memphis pulls it out. I think UTEP will make it to the finals, but Im surprised how many "analysts" picked them to win.
