Franklin Agunanne had 1 blocked shot in his first 11 games. He has 2 in 3 minutes today.

The Ponies hitting the boards - two great blocks! 7 blocks by SMU

[Charleston Pony]

suddenly can't buy a bucket

[PonyPride]

Block party — continued:

Mustangs average 4.2 blocks per game before today's game — they have 7 in the first 15:39 today

[PonyPride]

Marcus Weathers leads both teams with 9 points and 6 rebounds

[Charleston Pony]

Marcus Weathers reminds me of another SMU "little big man" Reggie Franklin, who if I recall correctly was only 6'5"

Scuffle on the floor
Davis and Temples dive for loose ball
While reaching for it, Davis took a knee to the side of the head
__ either punched or reached — presumably for the ball — and got Davis in the arm. Glancing blow appeared to get Davis in the head, too.
Officials review replay ... for a loooooooong time.
Personal foul on KD, technical on Temple's Jeremiah Williams.

Davis has not played in nearly 12 minutes ... but he is on the bench, sitting right next to the coaches, suggesting he's not done for the day

Darius McBride checks in — fifth appearance of the season

HALFTIME

SMU 31, Temple 28

[Charleston Pony]

SMU hitting only 1-8 from three today and I think it was the 1st one taken (Nutall). Need to turn that around in 2nd half

Mustangs up by 3, despite:

1 three-pointer
1 steal
9 minutes for Davis
34.8% FG shooting

[PonyPride]

Mustangs average 4.2 blocks per game before today's game — they have 7 in the first 15:39 today

The Ponies' 7 blocks already are a season high for AAC games. The most in any game this season was 10 vs. Sam Houston State.

Someone handed out face cutouts of players for fans to wave in the stands. Amon the players whose pics have been visible: Kendric Davis, Tristan Clark, the Weathers brothers, etc., as well as SMU hoops alum Shake Milton and ... Courtland Sutton (yes, he played basketball briefly).
