Be really interesting to see if Shake Milton plays for the Ponies. He missed the Tulsa game this past week as his right hand was supposedly in a cast. If so, they’ll be without their top 2 players and will only have 7 scholarship players in uniform.
Speaking of injuries, Coogs may also get to play a Tulane team this weekend without their top guy, Melvin Frazier. Frazier took a charge to the chest against Temple yesterday and had to come out of the game. Dunleavy called it “basically a sprained chest.” No idea if he’ll be able to play this week, but they next play Tulsa on Thursday.
And Milton’s out:

Not that I want our guys to take this game lightly at all, but if we don’t beat a drastically depleted SMU team at home this Thursday…
I hope we destroy the ponnies.

With or without that guy, we’ll take 'em at home.

This.
SMU was hit with a scholarship reduction penalty due to Larry Brown and staff’s recruiting violations. They lose 7 scholarships between last year and next year. Right now, they only carry 10 scholarship players and 3 are currently injured. Of those 7, 4 are freshman.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer school.

I sympathize with SMU a bit. If UT or Michigan had done what they did, the penalties would have been more lenient.
Heck, look at UNC.

Kelvin Sampson, Houston Cougars men’s basketball Head Coach, speaks with the media and recaps last week’s road games against Cincinnati and UCF. Sampson also mentions areas he’d like the Coogs to improve as well as the progress Galen Robinson Jr has made since Galen’s freshman season at UH
Win tonight would solidify our position as one of the top 3 teams in the conference.
