Will Douglas 3 extends SMU run to 9-0
Ponies lead 15-10

Feron Hunt down — rolled left ankle

[PonyPride]

Hunt headed to locker room with trainer

Yor Anei and Jahmar Young are unavailable, meaning a lot of minutes for Chargois and Jasey, and perhaps Ray, and a normally guard-heavy team will rely even more on the backcourt

[Charleston Pony]

If Hunt can't return, SMU will have to win with a 4 guard lineup today

[Charleston Pony]

Looks like they may try to rotate Chaggy, Jasey & Ray to keep 2 bigs on the floor but before this one is over, I expect to see 4 guards with Band and Smith counted on to do some low post D and rebounding

Hunt is back
