It's hard to imagine the NCAA fast-tracking anything that might benefit SMU, so it wouldn't be a shock if that drags on a while.

In the meantime, I hope we get to see Matt Cross tonight.

Tie-ins between the programs:

• UNCG won its first game of the season, 73-64, over Florida Gulf Coast University — the school at which SMU head coach Andy Enfield became a household name.

• The winner should receive the Mike Dement Trophy. Dement was the head coach at UNCG from 1991-95, the head coach at SMU from 1996-2004, and then went back to UNCG from 2005-12.
