Nice job by Jasey, who jumped to catch a high feed from Davis, realized he was double-teamed and sent it out to Bandoumel ... but not before drawing Baruti's third foul

SMU 34, ECU 29

Chargois gets the ball in the low post, head-fakes Gardner in the air and scores ... and hits the free throw after Gardner gets third foul.

SMU 37-29

Gardner draws Hunt's second foul, hits 2 FTs

SMU leads, 37-31

ECU hanging in because they are really banging the offensive boards. They already have 11 vs our 8 but fortunately ECU shooting only 25% and 0-9 from three

Poor 3 point shooting from our guys as well hitting only 2-15 so far. McNeill and Hunt are the only guys to hit a trey going a combined 2-4 with the rest of the team 0-11

Mustangs with 3 offensive rebounds on one possession — eventually Chargois goes to the line, hits 1 of 2 ... SMU leads, 38-31

ECU with 3 players who have logged 20 or more minutes.

Davis (22) is the only SMU player with more than 18.

ECU has 12 offensive rebounds — SMU has 9

Davis hacked (barely) while hitting a long jumper, FT makes it 41-33

Bandoumel's first foul gives Suggs 2 free throws

41-35, SMU

Pirates still haven't hit a 3 (0-10)

McNeill's second 3, followed by Gardner's 2 makes it 44-37 SMU
12:46 remaining in second half

As they bring Lunardi on the broadcast to discuss what SMU has to do to make the tournament, we begin playing like a bad YMCA youth team.

Somebody needs to step up and provide some offense to help Davis. Maybe time for McNeill to get hot

Davis leads both teams with 17 points

No other Mustang has more than McNeill's 6 and Hunt's 5

44-37 with 11:58 left in second half
