GAME THREAD: MBB vs. Lamar

[Charleston Pony]

SMU with 6 assists on 9 made FGs vs 3 turnovers early today

[PonyPride]

Phelps collects outlet pass and could have dunked, but gave it up to Jalen Smith, who was a step further ahead, for easier dunk

Smith follows with a 3

28-15

[Charleston Pony]

Good to see Jalen Smith coming alive. We need him to contribute offensively

[Charleston Pony]

Still only 1-7 from three. Need to shoot better in Moody

[PonyPride]

Doesn't appear there is much interest in SMU basketball this Sunday afternoon. I thought I would check in to see if we are still one of the best, if not the best team in the Southland. Northwestern State does have a W against TCU, but Lamar appears to be one of the weaker teams in that conference. Need an easy confidence building win today.

SMU is up 15 (32-17) with 5:13 to go in the first half. Mustangs really should pull away and get minutes for everyone on the bench today.

[PonyPride]

Don't see this often: Mustangs have just made only one 3-pointer, but have blocked four shots.

Would love to see 5-6 guys score in double figures today. Well on the way

[Charleston Pony]

11 assists now on 14 made FGs and only 5 turnovers. As Larry Brown advocated, share the ball!

[Charleston Pony]

7 offensive boards on 12 missed shots is good to see

[WildHorse]

Lanier needs to sign at least 2 point guards. I don't care if they can make a layup, as long as they are quick and can handle the ball. Ponies had a 3 on 1 fast break and kicked the ball around like it was a live grenade with the pin already pulled.
