Odigie joins Phelps and Williamson in double figures

43 fouls called tonight. Each team has 5 guys with 3 and one with 4. Hopefully this doesn't become a FT shooting contest. Don't like our chances if that happens

Nutall is 2-11 and 0-5 from three but this is the time of the game when he usually comes alive offensively

Phelps with team-high 17, hits 2 FTs to put Ponies ahead, 70-67

A little bit of Moody Magic. Phelps played a really good game but sure wish he was a better FT shooter! Made just enough to get the W
