Chargois with steal from UH's Tramon Mark — instead of dunking on breakaway, tosses it off the glass to Hunt for easy dunk.

SMU 30, UH 25
2:33 to go in first half

Tramon Mark 3 ties it 30-30

Gorham, Hunt, Smith all hit the deck chasing a loose ball — after official's whistle, they stayed locked up and jawed a little. Worth watching.

Davis hits short runner while fouled — and-1 gives SMU 33-30 lead with 35.8 seconds left in half

Chargois misses a pair of 3s in final seconds.

HALFTIME: SMU 33, Houston 32

Poor clock awareness by Chaggy there to end that 1st half but love the overall intensity. Five blocked shots and several more shots altered. Good D so far and good job on the boards

Disappointing end to the half with KD taking a gamble and losing big with a foul call that led to 2 UH free throws only to be compounded by our guys unaware of the shot clock and then time left in the half. Our team is too veteran not to have clock awareness. Overall, if you asked me before the game if I'd be happy with a 1 point lead at halftime I would have accepted it in a heartbeat.

Feron fighting hard and doing a great job on the boards tonight. Loved seeing Chaggy reward him with the showtime dunk

SMU with only 5 assists on 13 FGs and 9 turnovers. Need to clean it up and have better spacing in 2nd half.

Those turnovers have come from very loose play off of great defensive possessions such as Jassey stepping out of bounds following a stellar block or the team giving it away on a fast break generated by Anei's blocks and steals. We need to play with more composure.
