On Sunday the American Athletic conference play is on SMU. Game 894 at 3:15 eastern. SMU is a better all around team than U.Conn who is balls to the wall to win this game and steal a tournament bid. They have been lucky of late getting a buzzer beater to take down Cincinnati and a come from behind win vs Tulsa. They managed to beat SMU at home but were beaten good by them on road.
