I say, 11-2 OOC play, 12-6 MWC play making 23-8. Bubble team, the Pokes need to win 1 or 2 games in the MWC Tourney to make the Big Dance.

Love the fact that we only get SDSU and UNLV once each!

SMU just received a verbal from one of the best players in the country tonight on television, PG Emmanuel Mudiay.
I was at the game last year when Wyoming played at SMU but I don't know if I will be able to go to the SMU at Wyoming game this year due to the timing.
It should be fun this time with Larry Brown in his 2nd season because SMU will be better.
Last year it was much more stressful since he had players unable to play ETC.
Now I keep hearing many of the guys saying that SMU will be top 25 for the 2014-2015 season.
I hope SMU and Wyoming continue to play each other for a few years.

That is a huge pickup for SMU. Larry Brown is definitely going the one and done way with his recruits it seems like.
They could be a big time program in a couple seasons, and I mean BIG TIME.
And to me, if you are going to be a one-and-done player, does it really matter if you have Kentucky, Duke, or North Carolina on your jersey? These 1 and done's aren't going there for an education, they are just making their mandatory stop before the NBA.

Here is this countdown saying that SMU is #64.

it's not the most appealing Home non conf schedule, but it is what it is.....notice Colorado pulled out, of the mighty Pac 12...what's the matter don't want us going into Boulder and handing it to you again....lol
Ohio State, I'm sure that's on LN jr's behalf, hope we show well there!!!

Means we can make 3 years in a row of smacking them around.

 

[stymeman]

[OrediggerPoke]

Western State game moved to January 1. This might be a fairly empty game.

 

[ItSucksToBeACSURam]

Why are we playing south dakota state twice....anyone know?

 

[stymeman]

is it too early to hope that the Pokes bball season starts, after this past weekends drubbing...lol

 

[Cowboy Junky]

Why are we playing south dakota state twice....anyone know?

One of them is a special appearance in Rapid, so us northeastern Wyoming residents can make a close drive. I just assume they made it a home and home since it's difficult to get people to Laramie.
