Game is Sunday at 4 on ESPN

Playing this one on the big network in a tough gym.

It played out: 3 of the last 5 years we have started 22-2, been on a 15 game winning streak, and are heading to SMU. We lost the other two. Milton is a ?, Foster out, we have to get this one. Get that monkey off our back and show everyone why this team is on a different level.

Foster is out, if milton is out, big big trouble for them. Milton in makes the difference for this SMU team. They going to have to shoot lights out regardless to stay in this game. Think cats by twelve to fifteen. Love how this team is playing, roles are defined and all of them have one thing in common, win.....
 
The Team is playing like they are on a mission. That mission, win out and get a much deserved high seed. 3 down 7 more to go!!!!

They are clicking along very nicely! When 1 guy doesn't do it we have a few others who can...it's a luxury we haven't always had on offense. Defense has obviously been phenomenal. I like our take care of business attitude! The right players are very focused right now and we have an extra gear when we need it. We haven't come out flat but maybe once or twice in 15 games. I like our chances in this game.

Many of us had this game circled for a long time as the start of a very tough run. We took care of ALL the business we needed to leading up to it. That, in itself, is a huge accomplishment IMO! Time to find that extra gear and finish this season off with an exclamation point!!

All our monkeys are coming off this year...lol! Every damn 1 of them! The SMU monkey, the solo conference title monkey, the conference tourney monkey, the protected seed monkey, good draw in the tourney monkey, and the Elite 8 or beyond monkey.

Go big or go home...lol!

Nothing more I would like to see then us running the table. I really think the coach has instilled the right temperament in this team. One game at a time!!!

I think that philosophy has been why we are doing so well. We haven't overlooked the teams we were heavy favorites for. We understand virtually any team can have a good night and we can't take them for granted.

Yep this team is focused.
 
With Milton likely out, SMU will be down to 7 scholarship players with 2 of them being true freshmen who have had limited roles up to this point.

They only have two true post players available now (Chargois and Agau) but they don't seem to play together much at all. If we can lure both of them into foul trouble then that'll give us a massive advantage down low.

McMurray and Whitt both played 40 minutes against Tulsa last week. Emelogu played 35.

I'd really like to see us wear this team down since they'll only have two days rest between a tough Houston match-up and us.
 
Apropos of nothing, but I just noticed that Eliel Nsoseme and Jacob Evans were born on the same day: June 18, 1997.
 
?? day to day or week to week

Southern Methodist's Shake Milton (1) collides with Temple's Quinton Rose (13) during the second half at Moody Coliseum in Dallas on Wednesday, Jan. 10, 2018. Temple won, 66-64. (Ron Baselice/Dallas Morning News/TNS)

SMU guard Shake Milton is doubtful for Thursday's game against Houston with a right hand injury, head coach Tim Jankovich said on his weekly radio appearance on KAAM-770 AM Monday night.

Milton missed SMU's loss to Tulsa last week with the same injury, which requires a brace on the hand. Jankovich described Milton as "day-to-day and week-to-week" moving beyond Thursday's game.
 
Things are getting crazy in college basketball right now!! The best teams in the country are getting pushed to the wire or losing. This is a huge game for us. We can continue to climb the ladder.

Show up with intensity and focus. Play our typical D, take care of the ball, and fight for rebounds. That is our winning formula every night. Only a handful of teams in the country can hang with us if we do those things.

It doesn't have to be pretty. I don't care if Shake plays or not...we have to come with the same attitude either way.
