"Moody Madness" Is Hot Ticket For SMU

UNIVERSITY PARK (CBSDFW.COM) - There was excitement on the hilltop Wednesday night at Southern Methodist University's Mustangs basketball game. Tickets for Wednesday night's game against Louisville topped out at $1,000.

Those in attendance looked like a "who's who" of the city.

Students were on their feet most of the sold out game. Dallas Cowboys coach Jason Garrett, Owner Jerry Jones, Tony Romo, Jason Whitten and former quarter back Troy Aikman were at Moody Coliseum, too. The play and atmosphere was relentless as fans watched teams battle back and forth.

The Ponies will play Memphis on the road ahead of the AAC Tournament next.

Conference tournament seeding is up for grabs this week, and for SMU, the hope of its first NCAA Tournament berth since 1993.

The Mustangs lost at home for the first time this year, 84 to 71
