I will interested in seeing if the two Cinci players that sat out last night will play. Cronin makes it sound as though he is playing for the tourney and may not play them.

Terry, what is the section closest to the SMU bench?

Ooh...the BIG CBS channel!

And the first game so no missing anything because of an overtime game before us.

I am afraid Terry will be starting his service at tipoff.

This team has yet to win at Cincy.

A "W" is the only appropriate ending to this amazing three years.

Bring it home guys!

Actually worship is over at 12. Getting a ride to the game but will be there a bit late.

That's right. Forgot about the time zone change. It is 11:00 start here.

I'll be interested to see if we have anything left in the tank emotionally after senior night. That, combined with the fact Cincy always plays us tough and we're on the road makes this a big challenge.

And that they pretty much have to win to get back on the bubble.

I'd pick Houston as the favorite going into the AAC tourney. They are playing really well.

This is like the 1980 Olympic hockey team. Do you believe in miracles? The hockey team beat the Russians in the big upset that was emotion shattering, but the team still had to play one more game against a good team (Czechs I think) for the gold. Apparently the high from the Russian win carried them forward. That is what we need.

Finland. U.S. was losing 2-1 in the third and scored three straight goals to win 4-2.

Was able to watch the Houston/Cincy game concurrently with ours last night and they looked like hot garbage. With the two guys missing, their offense looked like it might as well have been 5 Finnish hockey players.

No work from up here whether those two will be playing. Cronin made it sound as though he wants to help them out until the tournament, but who knows on senior day.
