SMU starters

1 Feron Hunt
2 Darius McNeill
3 Kendric Davis
5 Emmanuel Bandoumel
25 Ethan Chargois

Chargois and Bandoumel with back-to-back 3s give SMU 12-10 lead

Jeremiah Davenport had 19 points when SMU hosted Cincinnati this season, and has 8 of Bearcats' first 10 points

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

Feron Hunt down — rolled left ankle

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

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

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
