Cons of playing Tulsa
-They just lost by 3 @Memphis. They're not playing too bad at the moment.


Pros of playing SMU
-Already beat them twice as well (albeit in two nail biters)
-With little depth fatigue would likely be an issue for them playing on back-to-back nights
-They're vulnerable to giving up and getting blown out (ala @UCF)
-Their best player, McMurray, is very streaky and could easily shoot his way out of the game to help us out.

Cons of playing SMU
-They just won @USF (albeit USF was w/o Rideau). They should be playing very confident with nothing to lose if they beat Tulsa.
-They have Foster back. Although he just played 9 min at USF he could be a bigger factor against us.
-I think they have more talent/better shooters than Tulsa and could be much tougher to beat a 3rd time.
SMU and Tulsa semi-mirror each other. They both like to shoot the ball. They both have guys that can/will shoot the ball. Bottom line is that it doesn't matter who we play. The last week hasn't seen us looking good. Time to regroup and get the W. I have a sneaky feeling that Wichita will make the semi's as well.
