Good 1st half. Really good to see Jalen shoot again right after his 1st miss. That's usually when he disappears for long stretches but he is feeling it tonight

By the way, it's up to the rest of you to carry this thread tomorrow night against Lamar. AAC men's soccer semifinal (weather permitting) is at the same time.

More of the same in the second half:

SMU has hit 3 of 6 shots
WIU: 1 of 7

SMU 54, WIU 25

Zhuric Phelps brings the ball upcourt, stops while dribbling behind his back — buckling the knees of WIU guard Ryan Myers — and then drains a 3 over Myers.

Mustangs on the bench lose their minds.
