Barkley played like a beast today, I can't wait for us to bring him back to earth tomorrow.

I'm "working from home" tomorrow to watch this game.

Nice thing about DirectvNow, you can watch via URL at the office. My point is pointless for me since I work from majority of the time anyways.

For the game, I hope we aren't too over confident and we take care of business like we did during the regular season. It's March madness so the guys have to be on their toes!

2 years ago, SMU opened the AAC Tournament against ECU with a 74-68 win.

Hopefully this one won't be as close.
