Lol! We started the thread late and yet at the exact same time! Unbelievable!

MWC announcers, discussing Marcus and Michael Weathers, just said that "Weathers is listed a couple of inches taller and 40 pounds heavier than Weathers."

Thanks for clearing that up.

Great minds think alike?

They also seem fascinated with Michael Weathers' shorter (actually rolled up) shorts.

Ponies on 7-2 run to stretch leads to 41-30 with 1:25 left in first half

Davis misses a spinning shot in the lane, grabs the rebound and heaves an off-balance 3 ... and connects, giving SMU a 46-30 lead at halftime

SMU answers a 5-0 New Mexico run by finishing the half with a 12-4 run to take the biggest lead of the game at 46-30 at the half. Playing aggressively on offense, not settling for long distance jump shots has really paid off so far. I hope we stay aggressive in the second half and don't get complacent. This is the type of team we should put away.

I think this is the best performance of the Weathers brothers of the season with both contributing 7 points each at the half.
