SMU in the top 25

[SMU 86]

It may not last long since we only have one more scholarship to give. So let's celebrate while we can.

If we get Turner we're staying in the Top 25.

[gostangs]

we will give three out this year, betting wisely that there will be attrition in at least one spot.

Like smufrat said earlier, I think we need to temper our expectations with turner a little. We didn't make his top 8 as a local kid, so clearly he has some issues with us in one way or another. I know Mudiay and him are buddies and I think that means we have some chance, but I'm afraid it might just be out of respect for his buddy that he's talking to us again. I think we will definitely get the chance to make our case though, I'm just tempering my expectations and I think so as not to act like Kentucky fans, we should too

He may want to go to a national championship contender, well, along with Mudiay, Larry Brown as coach, and the rest or the roster, he could be joining one.

So we go from 1 conference tourney win in the history of cusa to national championship contender in 2 years? The talent seems there to make a good run, it is just funny to think about.

I must have missed that 1 conference tourney win. I didn't think we had ever won 1.

We definitely have not won a tourney game since I started at SMU in 2006.

Unless you count the CollegeInsider.com tournament in 2011 (I know many of you won't) but any postseason opportunity is a postseason to me. SMU won 3 straight games (the first 2 at Moody) and lost to eventual champ Santa Clara in a semi-final. Yes - Final 4! Again, not that anyone remembers.

The reference was specifically to conference tournament games.

Also, I assume Harry started at SMU in the Fall of 2006, so he is correct that we have not won a conference tournament game since he got here. We did win one in 2006 though:

We won 1 under Jimmy Tubbs, in 2006 as has been mentioned.
