SMU is our next basketball opponent on Friday...

[dawgstudent]

4-1 with a loss to Butler. They were 20-13 last year if you were curious. Lost to Indiana St in the first round of the NIT.

Looking at their roster - they have some height.

Anyone like to take a swing at that first name?

 

[The Peeper]

Names like that always threw Jack Cristil for a loop. He may say it 20 times in a game and pronounce it 20 different ways

I looked into getting a couple of tickets, but they are crazy expensive. My daughter has performed in their basketball arena . . . it's small enough that a raucous crowd can certainly create a big home-court advantage. It's still HS football playoff season, and right before the holidays, so I don't see a big crowd there.

Seatgeek has plenty in the $20 & $30 range. Even a few $10-$11 ones.

They've dropped since I last looked. Some of those seats really suck, too.

Utah had a lot of size too.

I see two umlauts I’m out. On the plus side I finally got an Aaron in my class. I wore him out

Yes he preferred easy names like Randy Stewart**

Side note. We seemed to have fixed the scheduling issues that plagued us for two decades in basketball. We played in a lot of NITs because of our schedule.

Neutral site games with Power 4 opponents, road games against an ACC opponent and a top mid-major. Love it.

SMU has played physical ball in the recent years

HuntDawg will be by later to tell you you’re wrong.

How does a small arena have seats that really suck?

Loss #1. This team starts out sluggish every game. We will not be able to overcome a sluggish start on the road.

If you’re only looking for 2, SeatGeek has some decent ones in the $20-$30 range. But if you’re looking for more, they get more pricey. Me and my son and some of his buddies will be there…
