Another double/double for Feron tonight

[PonyPride]

Hunt with big block
Davis twists away from defender for lay-in
64-52

[Charleston Pony]

This team just doesn't play well with a big lead. Looks like they relax and tend to play sloppy and more one on one ball...and we are not very good in the half court. Helps that Tulsa has no answer for Davis who is once again controlling this game

[PonyPride]

Field goal shooting in second half
SMU: 70% (14/20)
Tulsa: 44% (11/25)

64-54

[Charleston Pony]

Double/double for Davis with 10 assists vs 3 turnovers tonight. Just as I post, K.D. gets sloppy and turns it over at crunch time

[PonyPride]

Tulsa's Rachal with a 3 to close the gap to 64-57 with 1:59 left in second half

[PonyPride]

10-second backcourt violation against SMU

64-56
1:48 to go

[PonyPride]

With SMU leading by just 65-63, Anei gets his first block of the night.

Tulsa getting the ball back with 7.2 seconds left

[PonyPride]

Jolly fair-catches Rachel airball, then comes up limping

Tulsa ball, still trailing by 3, with 2.4 seconds left.

[PonyPride]

Austin Richie (88% FT shooter) fouled shooting a 3

Misses first, hits second, Hunt yanks down the rebound on intentional missed third FT

[PonyPride]

FINAL

SMU 65, Tulsa 63

Ponies improve to 10-4 overall, 6-4 in AAC games

[PonyPride]

Kendric Davis finishes with game-high 22 points

Hunt with double-double: 10 points, game-high 12 boards

[Charleston Pony]

Our guys tried to give that game away but managed to hang on and get a nice road win. Nice job by Hunt ripping that final rebound away. Tough to win games when you shoot worse than 50% from the FT line. Team had 11 assists vs 22 turnovers tonight. Hard to believe we had a 16 point lead late in that game as sloppy as we played tonight

It wasn't pretty, but any time you can beat a team that beat Houston and do it on their home court, I consider that a nice win. Sloppy play at times and really bad giving away that lead, but yes, that's a "good win" in my book and allows us to remain in the hunt with 4 conference losses. Can't afford any more losses so I will take one or two point wins on the road and consider them good wins regardless of how well or poorly we play at times.
