While the loss to #2 Texas will hurt Memphis in the next set of national polls, they're not in any danger of losing their #1 ranking in C-USA. |

Five straight wins and a W over Ok State is the good news. Losing senior forward
Demario Eddins is very bad news.

7-4 |

Losses to Georgetown and Texas Tech are not bad, but it would have been nice to see a W in one of the two games. |

SMU |
3 |
7-4 |

After a 1-2 start SMU has won 6 of 8 games. While the Mustangs will not likely compete for a conference title, they do appear to be one of the better teams in the middle class of the Conference USA. |
