Fired Bennett wants to finish strong
While Saturday is the setup game to what the Knights' hope will be their Conference USA East Division-clinching home finale next week against UTEP, it will have a much different meaning for SMU Coach Phil Bennett.
Saturday marks the final home game of Bennett's tenure as the Mustangs coach after he was fired last month. Though Bennett will be looking elsewhere for employment after SMU's season finale at Memphis, he still wants to finish the 2007 season strong.
"I don't have time to be sentimental," Bennett said at his weekly news conference. "I'm pretty black and white. The decision has been made and we've just got to go out and play. We want to do more than compete, we want to win."
