Not much motion and ball movement in this SMU offense tonight

That’s because they keep turning it over on the first pass!

I’m about to tune out. Zero effort/energy from our guys. Unacceptable!

Are we trying to annihilate the record for most missed 3s to start a game?

Alley-oop from Davis to Jolly closes it to 25-21

SMU 1-of-9 from long range so far (Chargois with the only triple so far)

[PonyPride]

Isiaha Mike takes huge charge from Quinton Rose, who picks up foul 2 ...

Mike then hits a 3

27-24 Temple

Ponies force turnover — SMU ball with 10.1 seconds remaining in half

[PonyPride]

Jolly drives baseline, spinning into lane — draws foul — hits 1 of 2 free throws

Halftime: Temple 27, SMU 25

A small miracle to be down only 2 at halftime. I’ll take it and hope we play better in the second half.

Definitely need to step it up in 2nd half. Some of our guys (Davis in particular) appear to be losong confidence in their shot after that ugly start. Plenty of open looks but most shots were too strong...an indication Temple's D has our guys rattled. Not unlike the game at Houston Wednesday. Can only hope they come out like they did vs Houston in 2nd half

[Charleston Pony]

SMU with 4 assists on 10 made FGs. Temple with 8 assists on 11 made FGs. Jolly and Davis hitting 3 of their combined 14 FGs. Hope that changes in 2nd half
