Hope SMU fans have some extras to sell. Email went out last week to season ticket holders who locked them up

agreed. I think we're the 1:30 / 4 est time slot. Hope Baylor chokes again and we go to sweet 16 vs. dook

I thought First Four winners were guaranteed not to have to follow with day games - we will see

A full guide to every team in the 2017 NCAA tournament

19. SMU Mustangs
In the first season of the post-Larry Brown era (which went exactly as expected, for better and for worse), here's what you need to know about SMU: (1) Semi Ojeleye, a former blue-chip Duke recruit, is 6-foot-7, shoots 43 percent from 3, and is one of the most efficient volume scorers in college hoops; (2) Shake Milton is really good at basketball, but also his name is Shake Milton, so the previous phrase is redundant; (3) Tim Janovich's Mustangs shoot the lights out, rebound their own misses, don't send opponents to the free throw line, and do pretty much everything else you can do while on a basketball court either well or very well. Relative to seed, no team this side of Wichita State will scare its bracket neighbors so comprehensively.

have to imagine we're the early session on Friday as TV Execs will want KU in primetime.

the earlier the better since Prov/USC play in Dayton on Wed. night

They get allocated by donation status. I think most higher level donors will be OK
