[Charleston Pony]

Guys playing much better D tonight. Starting Jalen might have helped set the tone. Mustangs have 9 assists on 1st 14 made FGs.

UNLV picks up seventh foul (1-and-1 bonus) — Davis sinks both FTs
36-14
4:04 to go in first half

[PonyPride]

Davis spins through a defender so fast Clark isn't read for the entry pass ... which bounces off him, to Bandoumel, to Nutall for 3

Vegas 3 makes it 39-17

[PonyPride]

Jalen Smith is perfect on three shots — all 3-pointers — to stretch Mustangs' lead to 42-17

HALFTIME

SMU 44, UNLV 21

[Charleston Pony]

Good 1st half...now can these guys play a full 40 minute game? Not sure why Todorovic didn't get any minutes. Sure looks like Jank is emphasizing D following that La-Monroe near disaster
