To have the fidgety excitement of post-season basketball in my national holiday.

Happy St. Patrick's Day Ponyfans!

Crazy Isn't it.

Remember 1988! Happy St. Pat's Day.

Long Live the great Kato Armstrong. I still think his performance against Baylor in SWC Tourney Champion was better than in NCAA victory over David Rivers

St. Patrick's Day 1988 certainly was beautiful...

What a great memory, to beat Notre Dame on St. Pattys day was simply awesome.

Saw him absolutely light it up at South Garland with drives, no-look passes, and even some dunks mixed in. Made the high school kids look plain silly.

Final was SMU 85, ND 77 if memory serves, at the Dean Dome. I was a senior at HP and knew I was going to Duke in the fall, so the second round was no fun; hated to see either team lose.

I was actually a junior at SMU...I remember I had a philosphy class with Vernon Purdue and the Professor was a big sports fan. After SMU lost that hard fought game to Duke and Vernon was back at class, the prof had everyone give him a hand.

Professor Elegado or something like that.

Is the CIT REALLY considered a postseason win?

The NIT hardly counts...the CIT is only relevant to the teams playing.

A win in a post season tourney counts as a post season win. Glad I could help clear that up for you.

So, was anybody at the game at UNC? I was and it was AWESOME. All the ND fans were saying, "No way you beat us on St. Patrick's day." The arena was very pro-SMU that night. All the UNC, Duke and ACC fans were cheering for SMU. Of course, that changed when we played Duke 2 nights later.

P88 - what a great memory and thanks for the picture. I was at a bar in Malibu drinking Old Bushmills. I think I was the only person in the bar that gave a flip.

It's March, and we're still alive. Jacksonville has as big a wins, as anyone in CUSA. Oh yeah, they're coming to our place, and it's one & done for kids like Papa Dia, who is an SMU great, and can barely walk. I'm IN

....funny.
