I really haven't watched the Coogs at all. Looking forward to Mem/Hou tomorrow night. What is their story? They lost some players and have them back now? I haven't paid much attention to them at all.
Opinions/thoughts? Tough to play at their place I assume.

I haven't seen them play but looking at the stats, it looks like they are a bit streaky (ie, very inconsistent games, a tale of two halfs vs. both Uconn and Cincy). They seem to have some good 3-point shooters but not particularly good FT shooting team. they're a good team, not a great team, but tough to beat at home.
they seem to play down (rice) and up (cincy, uconn) to their competition. It will be a tight game. We have to play our A game from the beginning. On a neutral court, we win. Obviously, we win at home. It depends on our level of effort if we win there. We can't start out like we did against cincy and UL.

Not sure how much homecourt advantage they'll have- they've been drawing terribly all year

I've watched a couple of their games. They have some talent but aren't as deep as us. It will be a tough game if we don't come to play from the beginning. Make our FTs like we did against Rutgers and keep up the good defensive play - we leave with a big W.

Have you watched them since Rose and House have come back?

just glad we have 5 days rest before playing them. We were getting a bit tired, especially Kennedy at the end.
Also, time to scheme helps to.

3-0 in men's hoops and football over the last year. It may change on Sunday but we'll see. The Coogs are very unpredictable. RPIforecast has SMU as 7 pt favorites.
