The league should postpone their home game on Saturday and make them come to SMU on that day since this whole mess is their fault in the first place.

While I understand why it’s postponed, my first thought was a few years ago when we played Temple and our players had to get off the stuck bus and push it through the snow.

It really is a shame this one was postponed with WSU coming off a tough game against Tulsa Tuesday night. The Shockers even broke out throwback uniforms for their Tulsa game so I really feel like they shot their wad in that one.

I hope this doesn't come back to haunt us with a congested schedule later in February. I still think we need to make the finals of the conference tournament to have a chance at the NCAA so it will be pretty bad if we enter the tournament exhausted.

I'd like to think this team is deep enough to handle multiple games in a shortened time frame. I lived in Durham during the Laettner/Hurley Final Four years and remember Coach K always wanting to schedule Thursday/Saturday games late in the season to "condition" his team for the grind of tournament play. I get concerned when I see guys playing 35 minutes or more night in, night out like they did last year. This year's rotations have allowed guys to play fewer minutes and finish strong most nights.

Post season conditioning not a concern for this team.
A long tradition of existence.

I would say SMU is a near lock for the N.I.T. with a decent shot at the big dance.

Bottom line, SMU will be in a post season tournament.

SMU is having a hard time getting out of Dallas, several cancelled flights. They are trying again at 4pm.

Game is still on.

Or, for teams that are a hell of a lot better than a lot of teams during the Doherty/Tubbs years. Hopefully we make the NCAAs, but if not, the NIT sure as hell beats sitting home.
Beat Wichita State.
