I have a chance to be in Dallas Saturday and I am thinking of going to the SMU Houston game.
I am not much of a BB fan in general and haven't seen the Mustangs in BB since I was a student decades ago.
For those more knowledgeable about SMU's men's BB program, what is the likelihood of SMU winning and what are the keys to the game? And where is the best seating as I doubt this will be a sellout.
Also, who are the key players for SMU (and UH).
And any information about parking would help as well.
Thanks for humoring a BB lackadaisical fan.

Yes. I would leave early as I am taking my daughter back to school.

Both teams are up and down so I would say close to 50% chance of SMU winning. Whichever team successfully controls tempo and drains their 3's will win the game. I know we will control tempo, but the trey is the great equalizer in college basketball so that is anyone's guess. If I had to pick I would say SMU wins.
Key players
SMU: Papa Dia and Robert Nyakundi
UH: Maurice McNeil, Adam Brown, Zamal Nixon, Kendrick Washington

There will be a strong Arkansas contingent at the game on Saturday. Get ready for some hillbilly hollering.

Seating is typically not an issue at Moody. You'll have your pick. As I recall, its $10 for baseline and $15 for sideline.

Clinton is the only Democrat President to carry Arkansas in many years. And I am just assuming he did. Pretty conservative state on national elections. Not so on the local. Go figure.
