GAME THREAD: men's basketball vs. Memphis

[Charleston Pony]

Mustangs on fire now. Memphis totally flustered and this sounds like the best crowd we've had in Moody this year

[Charleston Pony]

Nine of 10 Mustangs have now scored. Williamson is everywhere

[PonyPride]

SMU has hit almost as many field goals (17) as Memphis has attempted (18)

Tigers look completely confused

[PonyPride]

Nine of 10 Mustangs have now scored. Williamson is everywhere

10 points (4/8 shooting)
5 rebounds (3 offensive)
2 asstists

[Charleston Pony]

Nice to jump out to that 20 point lead but we blew a big lead at Memphis by not staying disciplined. Good TO by Lanier

[Charleston Pony]

Williamson and Wright already in double figures

[PonyPride]

Video board tribute for SMU great Nic Moore. Highlights include game-winner against Cal that made the camera shake.

Moore honored on the court, and looked emotional, holding his hand over his heart and applauding the assembled PonyFans — then goes over to hug David Miller, George and Laura Bush and President R. Gerald Turner.

[PonyPride]

Wright has 13 points, Williamson has 10
Memphis has 30 as a team

[PonyPride]

SMU's 53 points (with 1:17 remaining) the most in a half this season.

Had 52 Jan. 20 against Tulsa.

[PonyPride]

Jalen Smith is inexplicably listed at 6-2, yet he's at least as tall as Zhuric Phelps (listed at 6-5).
Last year, Smith was listed at 6-4.

[PonyPride]

Ricardo Wright knows down a 3 at the buzzer, giving SMU a season-high 58 points in the first half.

HALFTIME
SMU 58, Memphis 36

[Charleston Pony]

Start checking the record books...58 1st half points!

[Charleston Pony]

This Memphis team would drive Larry Brown crazy. They are getting killed on the boards and have 4 assists on 13 made FGs while SMU has 14 assists on 21 made FGs. Rebound and share the ball...that's the winning formula.
