I missed the first matchup but loved the post-game presser from Penny.

What's the cliff notes scouting report on Memphis? How's everbody's confidence level going into this one?

Big spot for the ponies.

Memphis plays relentless defense, is supremely athletic, but usually doesn't have much of a plan on offense. That said, they are peaking and I wouldn't be surprised if they win in a 20 point blowout. However, we really need this win after losing to Temple so I will remain hopeful given that we play much better at home where we remain undefeated this season.

What’s the scoop with KD? Pretty obvious we’ll need him.

Memphis writer seems to think he is going to play - but (of course) predicts a 9 point win for Tigers.

It also depends on which Bandi/Nutall shows up.

Announcer in game last night said Memphis having DeAndre Williams is the difference between having a morgue like atmosphere in practice to a mosh pit atmosphere. I suppose he’s pretty good.

Will fans like seeing Larry Brown? I know I will.

Why shouldn’t we be delighted to see Larry? One of the best things to ever happen to this program. I hope we get an ovation for him and a wave and a smile back. Wonder how many of his Mustang players will be at the game.

As usual, SMU is going to have to rain threes in Moody to have any chance of winning this game. This time we are facing the Memphis team that came into this season with the # 1 ranked recruiting class and was expected to compete with Houston for the AAC title

With SMU and Houston each beating Houston it is starting to look like this very well could be a two-bid league which just makes Sunday even bigger.

If KD is out again, I don't think we have a chance.

We either have to win this game and all but at Houston or the Houston game and every other remaining game.

Yeah, this is pretty much a must-win. Or else winning out until the conference title game.

Will we end up on probation again when he leaves town?
