GAME THREAD: MBB vs. Sam Houston

SMU on 8-1 run
SHSU coach picks up a technical

SMU 21, SHSU 12

Why the tech?

He was yelling at the officials. Out of my earshot, but based on the way the official quickly went from ignoring him to whirling around a nd handing out a T, it's reasonable to speculate that Hooten (coach) might have used one or more "magic words" that you're not supposed to say around officials

Bandoumel 3, off nice pass from Nutall, makes it 40-23

Scary moment: Marcus Weathers gets caught after picking up his dribble and flings the ball backward over his head, upcourt. Tristan Clark goes up to get it, only to get undercut and landed on his head on his way under the SHSU bench.

Popped right back up, though — looked worse than it was.

Looked very bad at first.

Thanks for the play by play.

Probably looking around and asking himself what happened to what was an amazing place but for a brief season.

Step-back jumper gives Davis game-high 16 points on 5-of-10 shooting

[PonyPride]

Prior to timeout, Bandoumel lost the ball as he slipped to the ground — Michael Weathers' subsequent dunk was waved off.

Of more interest was Bandoumel getting his left knee checked on the way to the timeout — didn't look like he was in a world of pain, but he's not on the floor or on the bench.

SMU 60-39 after a Michael Weathers 3
