Silver Lining

[SoCal_Pony]

Possible Silver Lining: do we get to keep any of the Moody NIT revenues for ourselves?

Biggest Negative to me: I don't buy that SMU was necessarily a one-and-done team. I think the chances of them making the Sweet Sixteen at around 30%.

HAD we made the Sweet Sixteen, the impact on our program would have been enormous. Now we are left with never knowing.

At $10 a general admission ticket......not exactly a huge as it's hard to believe an extra $100,000 - $200,000 would really have much impact on the athletic department. Maybe if we end up playing 3 home games but we might have to give the money to the AAC like a bowl game to be distributed to everybody.

The silver lining is we get to have a few more games in moody for our students and local fans to watch the mustangs. Everything else is a grey storm could that blows.

Concession, parking and TV revenue as well. Maybe enough to fund the rowing team for a while which would help.

My silver lining: the possibility of TWO games at Madison Square Garden! Moody is a bit of a hike for me.
(But I WILL get to Moody next season)

Silver lining for me is that as long as Arkansas is alive in the NIT I will get good coverage from here. If we and they can each win 2 games there will be a packed Moody rematch of SMU-Arkansas.

Actually by my reading of the bracket, that rematch would be at MSG.

[skyscraper]

SMU-Arky would be at Moody. Quarterfinal. Winner would go to MSG.

[mrydel]

Yeah. I am guessing we need to beat UCI, LSU, and Cal to get to MSG, but it could be Arkansas in the last one.

[ponyte]

If Ark and Cal play, it will be in California and The Beloved Razorbacks have not been a good road team for most of the year.

I would like to see a Moody SMU Arkyland game but not sure it is a high possibility.

[SMU Section F]

I'd love another shot at Arkansas. That first game did me no favors with my friends/co-workers as far as bragging rights go.

hang tight…you get that next season!

[SMUer]

Can any of those teams shoot the 3FG? Basically that's all you need to know.
