My math: starting at 10, they're a +2 for any win against UConn, Memphis, or L'ville (loses being +0) and -3 for any other loss.

Really hoping they get put in San Antonio (especially against those three teams). Would be a blast to attend.

Please please please. Mrs. is on board!

The NCAA committee will punish SMU for the poor OOC. Winning on Senior Day against Memphis will be tough and so will beating UConn. You guys badly need to make sure you beat Rutgers and Temple + win a game in the conference tournament just to eliminate all chances for the committee to screw you guys.

UConn and Memphis do not scare SMU, and neither does Louisville at Moody.

Looking forward to beating Cincy in tourney too.

The Larry Brown story more than makes up for it, whether people want to admit that or not.

SMU will have to lose to Rutgers and Temple to even begin to think about not being in the tourney this year.

Your best win away from home is against Wyoming. The NCAA committee will push you down a few seed lines. It happened to us a few years ago when we had a really bad OOC SOS, and ended up with a #6 seed instead of a 3 or 4...

ummm, SMU cannot stack up good road wins until they actually play good teams on road. SMU is light years ahead of where they were when they played Cincy and Lewisville on the road… So we shall soon see

SMU is better than UConn and Memphis, and we get Louisville at home (as has been stated), I think we are in great shape to finish the regular season with momentum headed into the conf tourney.

UC poster still makes a great point. We are a very good team, no doubt about it. To be a great team and make a strong tourney run, we have to learn to win on the road against good teams. LB said it himself. This is this team's next challenge. (personally, I think they are up for it but it's a learning/confidence curve the guys have to fight through - @UConn will be very interesting to watch to see how we respond to adversity).

A month ago Oklahoma State was a shoe in. Now they're tanking fast and their best player has been suspended 3 games over utter stupidity. Not saying this is us, but nothing's final at this point. Plus, we lost to USF at their place, so we still have issues.

Stay positive, finish strong.

Our RPI looks good so we are okay in my opinion. As Joe Lundari said that we could even take another couple of bad losses and still be in the tournament. See video.

Agreed, the USF loss on the road still worries me. We need to go dominate Rutgers and Temple on the road and have a solid win over Coog High before heading out to play UConn. To me that is the game that will define where we end up in the dance.
