GAME THREAD: MBB at Memphis

[mustangxc]

SMU up 4-0 at the 15:40 mark. Both teams very sloppy so far.

SMU up 12-2 at the 12:41 mark. KD is easy on the eyes! What a sweet move to convert the jumper.

[mustangxc]

16-2 at the 11:02 mark. More a function of poor play by Memphis but this is wonderful to see. I hope we keep it up.

Color guy seems to be Memphis fan. As usual refs are clueless.

[SRQPony]

Anyone know if the announcers are Memphis announcers for suppose to be neutral - seems a bit biased to me.

[mustangxc]

Memphis is a nationally relevant program. These aren’t Memphis announcers but are probably more familiar with them.

SMU up 32-21 at the half. It turned into a track meet the last couple minutes after brick city in the early going.

[Charleston Pony]

Aside from missing the bunny to end the half, pretty pleased with the way our guys played but Coach Brown has to be incredibly frustrated watching that Memphis team. Pathetic given the talent Penny has been able to recruit

[Charleston Pony]

Really impressed that our guys have out rebounded Memphis in that 1st half. Our guys were just out quicking Memphis early and caused Penny to try to match SMU playing small ball. I expect them to come out and play more half court ball to take advantage of their size and get more shots in the paint. Memphis throwing up brick after brick from three and our guys not much better hitting only 2-11 threes.

[EastStang]

We can’t buy a 3.

[Charleston Pony]

As expected, Memphis going to the half court and dominating the paint while SMU continues it's "live and die by the three" game

[mustangxc]

Can we please hang on?!!! SMU up 51-42 at the 8:28 mark

[Charleston Pony]

Hit a couple of threes and our guys are right back in control. Really impressed how Zhuric is playing under control. Not looking to score but doing a nice job penetrating and dishing to the bigs for points in the paint. Helps that this team shoots FTs well

[Sewanee Stang]

KD!

[mustangxc]

KD is a wizard! Back to back shots that I had to rewind just to appreciate again.
