Marcus on fire today

[PonyPride]

Mustangs shot 46.7% in first half, 59.1% (so far) in second

[Charleston Pony]

Marcus is selective and has the highest 3 point shooting percentage of anyone on this team...now over 41% on the year

Coaches and players will never say it, but I will: these officials are having an awful day. They're not deciding the game — their incompetence has been fairly balanced — but this is not a game they're going to want to keep for their résumés.

Nice day at the office: Marcus Weathers has 27 points — his season high was 22 vs. Northwestern State, and he once scored 28 while playing at Duquesne vs. Rhode Island. He has scored a lot in the paint, on free throws, a three-pointer and on a goaltending call ... and he and his brother each have a team-high 8 rebounds.

SMU 65

Remember this post from ... a minute ago? Michael Weathers just made a block — a spectacular block — and got whistled for a foul, despite replays showing it was clean. Maybe the best SMU block this season.

Temple just won't go away. They are way better today from three than normal and that is the great equalizer in today's game. Temple with 8 threes vs our 4

Agreed. Temple is better than I thought — not surprising for a McKie-coached team. He was an unbelievably tough player, and his team seems to reflect his style.

Jourdain fouls out with 11 points 5 rebounds.
Phelps his 2 FTs with 15 seconds left
69-61

FINAL: SMU 69, Temple 61
Mustangs improve to 16-4 overall, 7-1 AAC
Still undefeated at Moody Coliseum
Up next: home 2/3 vs. Wichita State

[Charleston Pony]

Clutch FTs by Zhuric. Big win for our guys who are now solidly in 2nd place in the AAC. Big week coming up against Wichita State who lost a heartbreaker at Tulane today

So happy we won! 16-4
