SMU (14-4, 5-1 American) at USF (6-11, 1-4 American)
Yuengling Center – Tampa, Florida
January 26, 2022 – 6 p.m. CT
TV: ESPN+

THE SERIES VS. USF (12-6) (11-6+): SMU has won won 9 of the past 12 meetings, including the first matchup this season. The teams did not play in 2020-21 with both games canceled due to COVID-19. (+ officially 11-6 overall, win from 2013-14 later vacated).

USF NET ranking: 211, so it's a Quad 3 game for now. We need to accumulate wins and avoid bad losses.

If you can't tell I'm slowly starting to get excited about our at-large prospects for the NCAA tournament. Let's not blow it! Beat the Bulls!

Any road win is a good win. Get 'er done!

It's tough to win on the road in conference.

We need this one - Go Ponies!

#1 Auburn had to come from behind to beat USF by 6 points in Tampa. Can be a really tough place to play

[Charleston Pony]

Michael Weathers with 2 quick turnovers and Zhuric subbing in early

[Charleston Pony]

If Bandoumel and Nutall start hitting threes, look out for this team

[mustangxc]

After a somewhat sluggish start, we upped the scoring rather quickly with a pair of 3s. I hope we stay hot for a nice stretch.

[Charleston Pony]

Keep playing good D. USF hitting only 4-15 FGs and 0-3 threes. Make them earn every point.

[Mustangs35SMU]

Pony Up.

[Charleston Pony]

Too many early turnovers and USF has 6 offensive boards on only 14 missed FGs. Can't keep giving them 2nd chances

[SRQPony]

I'm assuming these announcers are from USF - some confusion over playing SMU or Houston

[Charleston Pony]

SMU's "little big man" getting it done again tonight

[tristatecoog]

This play by play guy is tough to listen to. Second game in a row for me. He sounds like a sleepy Mr. Rogers.

0-5 from three for the Bulls. Ponies by eight. Ugh, too soon. Long three is nailed and now up by five.

[Charleston Pony]

K.D. hasn't scored yet and is 0-5 so far. You know that's not going to continue. Would like to see him break the ice before half and come out hot in 2nd half

Why didn't you ask sooner?
