Also this is now officially termed as the first round. Really stupid.
Is actually is the first round. They started out with one play in game them 2. Now they have 4 games so it really should be considered the first round instead of a play in game. Also, if I remember correctly the play in games were originally played at one of the teams home courts. Since it it now at a neutral spot first round is okay. If SMU makes it to the first four then good for us.

Hopefully late in the season with the tough bracket maker games, that our big man Yannick will be back and playing well. We need him for depth for tourney play.

Let's get to 15-4 first.
We're not the players, so what is your obsession with one game at a time? I hope that Larry Brown and the players definitely take it one game at a time, but as fans there is nothing wrong with looking ahead and on paper there is no excuse not to head into that game 17-4.

Next one that's got me nervous is the AT Houston game, although I think we are a better team. 17-4 then at home against Memphis?!? Oh, boy. Then we beat Memphis at Moody? (very possible) I think I would implode.

I agree. I think this mentality is hilarious. Some people really want to feel like they play a real role with their team, I suppose.
