GAME THREAD: men's basketball vs. UAB

[PonyPride]

Crowd — and bench players — getting into "defense (clap clap) after Tyreek Smith records his second block ... and he's not just tupping the ball away — he swats at it, trying to send it to the concession stands

[PonyPride]

Williamson finds Phelps on a breakaway. Phelps appeared to take about 5 steps on his way to the rim, but if it's not called, it's legal, right?

SMU leads, 22-15

[Charleston Pony]

Smith and Ambrose-Hylton with 5 blocks and Mustangs getting some easier buckets in transition. Nice little run to go up 22-15

[PonyPride]

Mustangs have hit their last 4 field goals

[PonyPride]

Mustangs have outscored UAB, 12-4, since last media timeout (at 10:35), hitting 5 of 7 shots during that stretch

[PonyPride]

Phelps goes up as if shooting, draws two defenders and drops it over the top to Tyreek Smith, alone under the hoop for an easy dunk

26-17

[Charleston Pony]

Missed a couple of bunnies to let UAB close to 30-24

[Charleston Pony]

SMU only 1-9 from three but getting points in the paint off 8 steals and 5 blocks now

[Charleston Pony]

UAB with 19-14 rebound advantage but they are turning it over and getting shots blocked in the paint

[PonyPride]

Ponies have missed 4 of 5 after hitting 7 straight, lead 30-25

[PonyPride]

Ja'Heim Hudson, who missed the Tulane game, is in.
Xavier Foster is not on the bench

[Charleston Pony]

Can't make threes, can't make FTs and now missing bunnies at the rim. Amazing we still have a lead at 30-27

[SRQPony]

It seems like we should be dominating this game but we are only up 3

Make that 10-2 at the half

[PonyPride]

Phelps layup deemed after the buzzer.
