Memphis AT SMU (Thursday) game thread

[Charleston Pony]

Memphis just has K.D.'s number but why does this team have to get sloppy with a lead? Keep playing tough D and working for good shots...and play to your strengths

[Arkpony]

Cause we're SMU?

9-0 Memphis run closes gap to 54-47

Davis needs help! We're giving away possessions because he keeps getting trapped and throws a wild pass. We need to play as a team.

[Charleston Pony]

It sure looks like Memphis is starting to wear our guys down. Going to be tough to hang on. Looks like K.D.'s legs are gone. We really need Jolly and band to step up and help and time for Smith to grow up fast as he needs to contribute strong minutes

[Charleston Pony]

That flurry made it obvious how Memphis is just out hustling our guys right now. They seem to be getting every loose ball and our guys look gassed

[Charleston Pony]

We've still taken 11 more shots than Memphis thanks to their 15 turnovers

[PonyPride]

DeAndre Williams layup off backdoor cut makes it 54-49

Davis planted on the floor on his way to the rim.

Double technical fouls on DeAndre Williams and SMU bench.

Davis (2/13) will lament his shooting tonight, but he is protecting and distributing much better tonight than Tuesday.

6 assists, 6 turnovers Tuesday
8/1 tonight

[PonyPride]

Anei picks up second foul

SMU 56, Memphis 52

[PonyPride]

Holley 3 makes it a one-point game

SMU 36.4%

Total collapse! Jankovich is cursed. Make it a mercy firing.

[Charleston Pony]

Our guys are choking like dogs right now and Memphis has gotten into K.D.'s head big time. Not sure there is enough energy to hang on tonight. Character tester!
