Much has been said about our elimination from the tourny if we lose Ark and Mich...

Last year:
Top 4 OOC foes: Virginia (L) Ark (L) Texas A&M (3 pt W) and Wyoming or TCU. All unranked at the time.

This year:
Top 4 OOC foes: 13 Gonzaga (L) 20 Mich (TBD) 25 Ark (TBD) and 6 vote IU (L).

Losing to those four (heaven forbid), especially with the absence of MK, still gives a far better tourny resume than last year. If we beat UCONN, Memphis, and Cincy at home and take care of business against lesser foes... that is a 7 loss season. That is tourny worthy.

I have made hasty comments (I get a little bit pissed off when we lose!!!) But that resume is much stronger than last years team whom lost to Temple, USF, and Houston.

Since we are talking about OOC I wouldn't bring Temple, USF, and Houston into the equation because we still play then but don't have Louisville in the conference. 4 loses to those teams would not give SMU a "far" better chance. We need to win at least one and not fall to Wyoming.

Very good point. I was more so trying to then discuss eliminating the obvious low hanging fruit.

Arkansas game tomorrow is important.

Even more important after EWU beat Indiana on the road tonight.

Arkansas is a must win to make up for the bad loss against IU.
