SMU has had their struggles this year but they have a ton of talented players.

Phelps & Nutall are good players. Undisciplined at times but the team is capable of a strong performance. |

Jenkins is due for a big game. Would also like to see way less 3 pt attempts in this game.

Two things: 1. ESPN Gamecast shows us with about a 86% chance of winning. 2. 86, this must be close to a mortal sin. You show numerous alums but not Doak Walker.  |

SMU has an interesting history. I remember their MBB program being largely irrelevant for most of my life, and then when Larry Brown took over they became a very good team. They were on the cusp of becoming a power, and then Brown got hit with various NCAA infractions and they were forced to rebuild. They did a good job bringing the program back to respectability under Jankovich, but now it seems like they are undergoing another rebuild period.

Best guess is that a path to a championship would include SMU followed by USU and then Hawaii in the finals. Obviously have to take it one game at a time, but if we can string together 3 wins in Hawaii would have to imagine our NET ranking would be somewhere in the low 30s.

In case folks missed it, I preview the whole tourney in today's episode of the podcast. Nice job with the podcast. Valid point about Seattle. I watched the second half of their Oregon State game. They have some talented players and I believe an Iona / Sea game would be very competitive. |

Washington State will be tough in the other side of the bracket. |
