.@SMUBasketball head coach Tim Jankovic to JT3 and I after shootaround: “I’ve got good news and bad news and it’s the same news: you’re both suiting up tonight.”
SMU continues to work shorthanded. Played with just 7 scholarship players in their loss to Tulsa last week.

Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein
SMU's Shake Milton (hand) will not play tonight against Houston, per Tim Jankovich.

If you're out of whiskey please go pick up your favorite and keep a positive attitude.

[PonyTime]

I am just glad I am not there as I can not stand to hear:

Whooooossssseee Ballll?

Cooooooouuuuuuuuggggggssss Balllll

every 2 minutes.

(Suggest those who are going to the game take a flask full of above beverage to remedy this)

[Charleston Pony]

Cougs giving 9 points looks like a good bet...unless our guys find this arena to their liking and McMurray, Gu and Ethan light it up from three tonight. I'm not very optimistic going into this one and just hope our guys are competitive

[ponyboy]

I'm more optimistic than most.

[tristatecoog]

ponyboy, were you able to make the game?

Coogs' chances go way up w/o Shake. Too bad Jarrey couldn't play in front of his hometown fans.
Coogs playing well except that second half at Cinci.
Game is at TSU as Fertitta Center is under construction.
Our DFW group bought 30 tickets for the SMU game on 2/28. Not a lot but a decent crowd in 114. Hopefully we need more but they're hard to come by.

Hard to tell which team is which

[sadderbudweiser]

IT WENT IN!!!!!!

[mrydel]

Followed with an air ball

[sadderbudweiser]

Ohhhhhhh.... that one didn’t.

[sadderbudweiser]

Closer.

[mrydel]

Is Jarrey’s knee injury the same one he hurt in high school or the other one.

“Yes” is not an acceptable answer.

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

No objection to William Douglas taking more shots tonight

[PonyPride]

McMurray with 14 points — all other Mustangs have combined for 12

Ponies lead 26-25 with 4:05 left in first half.
