We got some definite foul trouble on our bigs and Hudson is having the game of his life, need to keep him out there.

Anyone know the story on WIlliamson? He hardly played, is he in the doghouse, hurt, or Lanier got sick of him effing up so much like the rest of us and did not want to see it any more?

Williamson a non-factor in that 1st half and picked up 2 quick fouls. He's going to need to step up and contribute in the 2nd half. Need more offense from J. Smith and Edwards as you know ISU is going to make it tough on Phelps and Harris

SMU team stats

Field goal shooting: 61.3% (19/31)
3-point shooting: 60% (6/10)
Free throw shooting: 50% (5/10)

Hudson doing his part as the surprise contributor but we are going to need one or two other guys to surprise to have any chance of hangling on and winning this game. ISI will draw adrenaline from the crown down the stretch when everyone starts getting tired

"CHUUUUUCKKK HARRIS FOR TWOOOOOO".

Never seen anything like that. Kind of cool though.

Very cool.

Hoping for one more game at Moody,

One of my favorite recent games in the last 10 years was that NIT game at Moody when Nick Moore hit that three to beat the banana slugs at the end.

Go Ponies!

Ja'Heim Hudson and Jalen Hudson in starting lineup: desperate move or creative surprise by SMU coaches?
Starting Hudson, at least, looks brilliant so far.

Assuming Lanier will make an adjustment to try and cut off those back door cuts in the paint we have to hope ISU doesn't start kicking the ball out and knocking down threes

Tell me you saw this coming: SMU has 49 points in the first half ... and just 2 (Ricardo Wright) from the bench.

B.J. Edwards starting second half .... along with:
Phelps
Tyreek Smith
Jalen Smith
Harris

Phelps puts back offensive rebound, stretching SMU lead to 55-42

good start to 2nd half offensively but appears we are just going to have to outscore them because those cuts down the lane remain wide open for ISU

Ricardo Wright now wearing a sling for his left shoulder — done for the night

He and Edwards have 2 points each, the only points by anyone outside the starting five

SMU 59, ISU 46

As good as Hudson has been for SMU, Jayson Kent has been at least as good for ISU

Game-high 25 points — half of ISU points
7/8 FGs
1/1 3-point field goals
10/11 FTs

Hudson picks up his fourth foul with 15:34 to go
