SMU (3-0) at Dayton (1-0)
UD Arena – Dayton, Ohio
December 5, 2020 – 2 p.m. ET/1 p.m. CT
TV: ESPN+

This is probably the most important game of the season since it is our final and only solid non-conference opponent. Win this game and at least we have 1 skin for our NCAA tournament resume. Lose it and we will probably need to finish in second place in the league in order to have a chance at NCAA at-large consideration.

I am so excited this game is happening! I hope Coach Jankovich is keeping good notes about the details of playing at Dayton in case we find ourselves with the opportunity to be in the First Four!

Things as simple as knowing how long it takes to walk from the bus to the locker room or the most efficient organization of the team around the whiteboard could make a big difference!

Go Ponies!

The location is irrelevant as all teams will likely be playing in Indianapolis this season.

Dayton is really experienced with 3 seniors and a grad transfer in starting lineup. Good test today

Refs kind to Dayton early.

Both teams have gone three deep into their benches just six minutes in to the game

Dayton leads 8-4

[One Trick Pony]

Isn't a ball supposed to go into the basket

[Charleston Pony]

A little more intensity than we've seen those 1st 3 games. Meanwhile, we need to force tempo as this team does not look good in a halfcourt game
