Looks like a great amount of interest in today’s game. I watched for a bit but then the sunshine called to me and brought happiness.

Houston @ Memphis was a good game. Wasn't expecting much from our guys @ Cincinnati and this game is going pretty much as I expected so far

Phelps hit BOTH FTs! How about that?

Cincinnati with 3 guys in double figures already

SMU is 6-6 on our FTs today. At least there's that!

Our guys have hit 13-27 FGs which is really good on the road but Cincinnati has hit 9-17 threes

Ugly finish to a lopsided 1st half

HALFTIME: Cincinnati 51, SMU 34
