Defensive breakdown: Jennings left all alone in the low post for an easy layin to pull OSU to within a point at 52-51

[PonyPride]

OSU 56, SMU 55

OSU's Robert Jennings and SMU's Matt Cross each have 6 points in second half

[PonyPride]

Scramble for a loose ball — OSU's Thompson clearly knocked the ball out of bounds, yet it was awarded to the Cowboys

Mediocre officiating (again: both ways) today

[PonyPride]

Great play by Cross, who steals the ball and saves it in to Harris, who finds Edwards for a breakaway dunk

SMU 59, OSU 56

[PonyPride]

Action stopped to tend to Cross, who got hammered while shooting — no call

OSU 62, SMU 61

[PonyPride]

Oquendo is human — misses corner 3

[PonyPride]

Colbert picks up his fourth while wrestling for space in the low post ... and then fouls out on what looked like a pretty clean block

Yiğitoğlu collects pass in the low post and scores — left-handed — to put SMU ahead, 65-63

Then puts back a miss — 67-63 SMU

[PonyPride]

Yiğitoğlu grabs offensive rebound over Ousmane, who objects until teammates pull him away from officials

Yiğitoğlu hits 1 of 2

68-65 SMU

[PonyPride]

Two OSU players collide and Dean hits the deck ... so Yiğitoğlu gets called for foul because he was within the vicinity?

[PonyPride]

Arturo Dean joins Khalil Brantley with 4 fouls for OSU

Harris hits 1 of 2

OSU 71, SMU 69

[PonyPride]

Brandon Newman nails a 3, and poses as if he just ended the game ... apparently unaware that it's a 5-point game (74-69) with 5:36 remaining
