2. SMU has drastically upgraded its non-conference schedule. The Mustangs aren't going to be penalized by the NCAA in 2015 like they were in 2014. Larry Brown's squad deserved to be in the field of 68 last year but had to settle for the NIT after the committee made claims about SMU's level of competition not being at a high enough level outside of conference play. That won't happen again next season. The Mustangs have put together a challenging non-league slate that features games at Big Ten opponents like Michigan and Indiana along with an early-season voyage to Gonzaga. SMU will also host Arkansas and Wyoming, which should be one of the better teams in the Mountain West. The stakes are high for the Mustangs in Brown's third year and the schedule reiterates that very sentiment. SMU now has the national forum needed to showcase a returning core that should have played in the NCAA Tournament last March along with one of the best freshmen in the country in 6-3 point guard Emmanuel Mudiay.

We'll be even better than that now that Mudiay has grown an extra couple of inches.

Seriously? He now 6' 7"?

Think he's talking about the article that lists Emmanuel as 6'3

[LA_Mustang]

I'm 6'2" and I've stood next to him. He's easily three inches taller than I am.

I get Stangesq's point now.

Personally, I think it was a typo or Rothstein went off the top of his head trying to remember how tall he was and just goofed. The fact that people on this board are arguing over Mudiay's height really shows this is mid-May and there is nothing going on.

Geez, people give it a rest. Ridiculous.

I really don't see anybody arguing over Emmanuel's height real or imagined.

Ok, then where are we going with this because whatever the theme is regarding Mudiay's height seems pretty pointless.

[gostangs]

There is no arguing. There is pointless banter however.
