Doesn't appear there is much interest in SMU basketball this Sunday afternoon. I thought I would check in to see if we are still one of the best, if not the best team in the Southland. Northwestern State does have a W against TCU, but Lamar appears to be one of the weaker teams in that conference. Need an easy confidence building win today.
