Nice, as a casual BBALL fan, I just noticed Kenpom rates our adjusted offense as #9 in the nation. That is amazing. All SMU fans need to get out to this game and help pull out a win. No matter what you think of Jank, do it for the kids.

Last I heard the UH DFW club sold 120 tickets. Should be a battle!

Would be nice if SMU could sell about 6,000 to it's own fans...and the student section better be packed early for this game!

Too many SMU fans won’t support the team because of Janks and still butthurt by the reseat.

I understand the reduction of season tickets caused by the reseat and also fans staying away in droves because of the poor showing the past 2 seasons, but I expect most true SMU fans are interested in this game tonight so I would expect a lot more walk up attendance. Our guys sure could use the support.

Gonna have to jump to the ESPN APP folks. Women’s softball rules until 6:30. Major diss!

Not a good sign. Game is supposed to be on ESPU but we are currently being pre-empted by a lopsided women's softball game. That's what ESPN thinks about a Top 25 AAC basketball matchup?

Mike's dunk as uncontested as a layup drill — not a Cougar in sight.

Mike gets first foul, replaced by Hunt.

4-2 SMU

Shot clock runs out when Hunt and Mike get their signals crossed — Mike recovered and got the ball to Hunt, but his 3-point prayer was late ... and went in

Davis 3 puts Ponies up, 7-2

Hunt dribbles ball off foot, recovered by Houston.

Jolly chases UH player, enough to bump him a little off line.

Hunt giving chase goes up — way up — to make sure ball wasn't flipped in. Hunt's hand was probably 8-10 inches from the TOP of the backboard.

Hunt then buries a 3.

10-2

Timeout, UH
