[ALEX LIFESON]

We are hours away from tip-off, and there seems to be zero interest in this game?

[Charleston Pony]

I will be watching and hoping our guys come out blazing and win easily today...rebound effect after a disappointing loss in which you played probably your worst game of the year?

I'll be watching...and wondering which SMU team shows up.

Is it the....

1) We're angry, we're home and we're gonna kick someone's [deleted] team?
2) Let's sleepwalk through a home game and squeak one out team?
3) The "Elvis has left the building" team?

Where do we go from here?

Perfect opportunity for William Douglas to announce his arrival!

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Should be fun. Moody will undoubtedly be packed like it is every game.

Go Ponies!

I agree with the Douglas comment...time for that "next man up" to step up and he's the only guy with the length to do some of what we are missing with Jarrey out

Moody is probably maybe 40% full for tip off
Moody Reseat!

Should be fun. Moody will undoubtedly be packed like it is every game.

Go Ponies!

It is empty here...

Big day at Moody, in addition to the game:

ΓÇó SMU great Gene Phillips having his jersey honored at halftime.

ΓÇó SMU coaches wearing sneakers today for Coaches vs. Cancer. Coaches and their staffs across the nation wear sneakers with their suits during games to raise awareness and help save lives from cancer by raising funds and encouraging people to educate themselves about cancer prevention, screening and early detection.

ΓÇó Today marks fourth straight season SMU has hosted a Coaching for Literacy game. Former SMU guard Jonathan Wilfong co-founded Coaching for Literacy as a high school senior in Memphis, Tennessee, in 2012. Proceeds from the event go toward funding effective literacy programs focused on helping elementary and middle school students. The mission of Coaching for Literacy is to increase awareness about the number of people in the U.S. who are functionally or totally illiterate and the social programs associated with illiteracy.

Ponies shooting hot at the start: 9/11 on field goals, 3/4 on 3-point field goals.

SMU 21, ECU 16

[Charleston Pony]

good thing the team has come out stronger than the crowd to start this game; at this pace, I expect to see all 5 starters in double figures today

[PonyPride]

Ponies now 4/6 on 3s (Chargois 2/2), lead 28-18

[PonyPride]

Emelogu is 2/2 on 3s
50/91 (54.9 percent) this year

[Charleston Pony]

what a difference a couple of days can make. Gu, Chargois and McMurray all hot today. Nice to be back at Moody, right guys?

[Charleston Pony]

Mustangs 14-18 so far; not many rebounds to be had as ECU shooting well, too
