Official NCAA Tourney Thread: SMU vs. USC

[JasonB]

Just got an email saying they can't guarantee tickets

Will be really frustrating if SMU lets people go in a buy multiple tickets and get ahead of the folks who put in requests ahead of time...

Looks like the game will be at 215-230pm on Friday. Since it follows the BU game which is at 1140.

I am sure Baylor and Kansas fans are probably trying to buy up tickets so I can see why none can be absolutely guaranteed.

Kind of BS that SMU would let you order more tickets than you have season tickets.

We can make the sweetheart 16. This is a good team that knows their roles and can make plays and get stops.

538 pegs our chances of getting to MSG at 46% (as of 3/13).

Chip Patterson Doesn't have UC beating KSate or WF. Weak. Then Howard Megda lhas UC advancing to the Elite 8.

Basically, we are going to lose to Duke regardless according to these guesses. I think our D matches up well with Duke and we present problems for them. I would love to see that matchup.

Would love it for 2 reasons. We get our shot at the big boys and we have already been successful if we get to that game

Worth noting that this is exactly the same chance 538 gives Baylor. Really hope we get a shot at them.

Same. My wife did not want to go, so I will be solo. Tulsa is close enough for driving range!

[Harry0569]

I stupidly did not look at the times for some of the games on Friday, namely the games in Indy. Thus, I think we'll probably get pushed to the early games.

Looking at Potential Second Round Match-ups:

Tulsa (Early Afternoon)
Baylor vs. SMU
Miami/Sparty vs. KU

Greenville (Fringe into Prime)
USC/Marquette vs. Duke
Seton Hall / Ark vs. UNC

Indy (Prime)
Michigan/Okie St vs. L'ville
Wichita State vs. UK

Sactown (Late Game)
Cinci/KSU/Wake vs. UCLA
URI/Creighton vs. Oregon

Really want USC again

[Harry0569]

USC is a 3 point favorite tonight

Providence is projected to win 70-69 per KenPom
