GAME THREAD: MBB vs. South Florida

[sadderbudweiser]

Agunanne adds an aggressive presence on the boards but can't keep trying to make things happen when out of position

Terrible on defense.... actually backs away from shooters. No vertical.... no offensive skills but hey! He did make a layup. Young is so much better.

Marcus Weathers has 5
Bandoumel, Young, Phelps, Agunanne with 2 each

[PonyPride]

After DNP-ing the last two games, Todorovic is in

Phelps dunk closes it to 27-23

[PonyPride]

Marcus Wrathers called for his second foul.
Both blocking calls.
Both subject to serious debate.

Phelps reverse puts SMU ahead, 30-29

[PonyPride]

KD called for charge (his first)

Fans are none too thrilled (SMU has 9 fouls, USF 7)

Jasey, Marcus Weathers, Michael Weathers and Agunanne have 2 each

Phelps 3
35-31 SMU

USF is the worst 3 point shooting team in the AAC and one of the worst in the country. Interesting that with as few 3 pointers as USF shoots, our guys have only put up 8 of 27 shots from three compared to shooting more than 40% of their FGs from three so far. As I type Phelps nails a trey

Davis beats buzzer with later in lane

HALFTIME

SMU 37
USF 33

[Charleston Pony]

Have to like what we've seen from Phelps in that 1st half

SMU with an 18-12 rebounding advantage including 5 offensive boards on 14 missed shots compared to USF's 3 offensive boards on 14 missed shots

Jasey ties up Tchewa — or appeared to from media seats at opposite end — but gets whistled for his third foul
