UNM attempted 5 free throws in the first half — 6 in the first 5 minutes of the second half.

SMU 53, UNM 42

The difference: UNM is 1/17 on 3-pointers

UNM's Singleton and SMU's Marcus Weathers and Nutall receive technicals. Michael Weathers grabbed a long rebound — when two players tried to get to the ball, Marcus Weathers shoved a Lobo to protect his brother.

Angry Pitino calls timeout after Bandoumel splits the UNM defense for layup that makes it 57-45, SMU

He must be upset that his daddy isn't in the stands to call plays for him.

Did Nutall just get a second technical foul in as many minutes?

Sounds like a physical game, no?

I wouldn't say it's overly physical. A couple of fouls on each team have been REALLY light — could have gone uncalled.

Marcus Weathers deserved his tech for the shove. Not sure how Nutall and Singleton earned theirs, since there wasn't a lot of post-whistle shoving.

SMU lead up to 62-45

Davis with 17

62-48 SMU at the 11:09 mark in the game. We need to finish strong and put this one to bed. Both teams making runs so it's not over yet.

Did Nutall just get a second technical foul in as many minutes?

No

He has 2 personal fouls, and he and Marcus Weathers each have a T

Pitino is a thug just like his old man.

[ponyboy]

Ok. Corrected on the game cast feed. One on Zach. Other one was Marcus.
