Ambrose-Hylton looks solid. Not many Pony fans at the game. I wonder if the game is part of the TCU season ticket package or they just bought far more tickets. Of course the game’s in FW.

O'Bannon cans a 3 for TCU
More importantly, while lurking for a rebound, Lampkin hits the deck hard and rolls around, grabbing his right knee, before hobbling off.

Not sure. Late tip, TCU is a mile or two away, rain, TCU is ranked — adds up to more purple in the stands than red and blue.

I think it's presented as an independent tournament. Technically (in the scoring system), SMU is listed as the home team.
