THE SERIES VS. HOUSTON (34-55) (32-55+)

Win and we're in the NCAA tournament. Lose and we'll be sweating all the way to Selection Sunday. Just win!

Huge challenge today. This Mustang team has not fared well against good teams on the road, winning only at Memphis. Hopefully we can outlast Houston in a 40 minute slugfest, but it's all about making threes for our guys. Hope they like the sight lines in Houston's arena. Need to come out hot and not fall too far behind early.

The refs called a tight game at Moody, which benefited SMU as some key Houston players got into foul trouble which made a big difference down the stretch as we ended up +10 on free throws made in a two point game. If they don't call a similar tight game today then we could be in for a long day as Houston like to be very physical.

And yes - we need to land our threes as well - and not fall behind by 15 as we did at Moody.

Let's go take this conference!

PHelps is out not surprisingly. Hope we can pick up the slack.

2 lazy in bound pass turnovers and can't make shots from the perimeter. Not the start I was hoping for

Not wild about the isolation one on one game we've shown early in the half court, especially if our guys can't drive, dish and knock down threes

Exactly the start our guys could not afford. Missing threes and getting blown out early.

Believe RGT is at the game. UH president doesn’t come to SMU hoops in Dallas. Plenty of fundraising opportunities for RGT in Houston.

Field goal percentage

SMU: 38.5 (5/13)
UH: 56.3 (9/16)

More than seven minutes in, and Davis is the only Mustang with more than 2 points (4)
UH 25, SMU 10

UH on 13-2 run

Where did Todorovic come from?

ranked No. 102 nationally by 247.Prolific Prep in CA last year. Nice pickup.

Michael Weathers and Agunanne each have 2 fouls
27-14 UH

Guys are shooting horribly and Houston getting some pretty generous calls to make matter even worse

Not sure how Weathers gets a foul for lying on floor while UH guy trips over him.
