GAME THREAD — MBB vs. Cincinnati

[PonyPride]

Odigie takes an elbow to the face — and gets called for his fourth foul, despite leaving the court with blood pouring out under his right eye. Maybe from a flailing arm after the foul?

Odigie takes an elbow to the face — and gets called for his fourth foul, despite leaving the court with blood pouring out under his right eye.

Took a pretty good elbow on that board

[SRQPony]

Wouldn't call that a normal basketball play - a little too much blood

[Charleston Pony]

Could have been an offensive foul on Nolley for lowering his shoulder on that drive

[Charleston Pony]

Sure wish those courtside seats were packed to give our guys more energy right now

[SRQPony]

The refs are letting this get way out of control

[Charleston Pony]

Somehow you knew Zhuric as going to force a shot in the paint

[PonyPride]

Phelps drives lane — Lahkin gets seventh block

Cincinnati leads, 54-52, with 47.1 seconds to go

[EastStang]

Too many second chances for Cincy. Still weak inside shooting.

[PonyPride]

Phelps blows past defender, misses reverse layup — upset no foul called.

Odigie and Lahkin wrestle for rebound — jump ball. Possession: SMU with 18.8 seconds left

[Charleston Pony]

Zhuric beat the D for that reverse attempt and it looked like Williamson had a chance for a put back before Odigie pulled down that board

[EastStang]

Missed 10 footer.

[Charleston Pony]

Sure looked like Zhuric got fouled by the body but not going to get that call forcing a drive into the big man

[PonyPride]

Phelps drives, blocked (No. 8!) by Lahkin

SMU gets ball after "free throw violation" with 1.2 seconds left

Phelps' 40-footer on target, off the front of rim at the buzzer

FINAL
Cincinnati 54, SMU 52

[Charleston Pony]

If you have to lose, games like this are at least really exciting right too the final buzzer! Zhuric is just not an "established" enough star to get the foul call at the end
