Nice end to the half after McNeese tied it up.

HALFTIME: SMU 39, McNeese 31

Bandoumel spent the last second of the half on the court after taking a bump to the head. Jankovich clearly wanted a call that didn't come. Bandoumel looked OK walking to locker room

[Charleston Pony]

Pretty fast paced 1st half compared to recent years. More depth and of course this is a game where coaches are going to give everyone a look. Have to tighten things up in 2nd half and get a comfortable W while figuring out who is going to get minutes vs Oregon on Friday

[PonyPride]

Nice end to the half after McNeese tied it up.

Ponies end half on 8-0 run

Like I.T. said at half, gotta like what we saw in 1st half considering last two years if K.D. was 0-5 we would not be up by 8 points. Phelps is going to add another dimension

[PonyPride]

Marcus Weathers has a 3-pointer and three "I don't care if you get in the way or not" drives to the rim.

SMU 43, McNeese 34

[PonyPride]

The law firm of Weathers, Weathers & Clark has 24 points

Everyone else has 23

[Charleston Pony]

Good to see K.D. get that 1st FG of his season. K.D. with 4 assists vs 1 turnover. Rest of the team with 4 assists and 7 turnovers

[Charleston Pony]

Is Clark a great addition or what? 6-8 FGs, 5 rebounds and a block already in just 10 minutes

[PonyPride]

McNeese's Medley-Bacon is 7-1, but Tristan Clark (12 points, 5 rebounds) and Marcus Weathers (9/5) own the paint.

[PonyPride]

Is Clark a great addition or what?

He has looked very impressive on both ends of the floor
