GAME THREAD: MBB vs Temple

[PonyPride]

Bandoumel drills a corner 3
SMU 36, Temple 28
Owls call timeout — McKie is none too thrilled with Mustangs' 5-0 start to second half

[SRQPony]

They are definitely letting them play

[PonyPride]

Marcus Weathers dunk gives SMU 9-3 edge in second half

Mustangs 40
Owls 31

[PonyPride]

Michael Weathers is as good at blocking perimeter shots as any Mustang in a long time. He just his second three-pointer, and could have been credited for a block (got a foul instead) on a very long 2 in the first half

[Charleston Pony]

Temple getting too many 2nd and 3rd chances

[PonyPride]

Temple has played five players taller than Marcus Weathers, who has a game-high 17 points — three of which came on free throws. Against bigger players, Weathers has 12 of his 14 points inside.

[PonyPride]

Jeremiah Williams 3 gives Temple 44-42 lead, Owls' first lead since holding a 5-4 edge 2:40 into the game

[Charleston Pony]

Temple has pretty much taken KD out of this game. Need to knock down a few threes to get momentum back

[PonyPride]

Clark with a left-handed layin — while wearing Jourdain on his back

Temple 49, SMU 48

[PonyPride]

50-49, SMU

[PonyPride]

Michael Weathers gets rebound, eventually back to Davis in the same spot — hits jumper to put SMU up 52-51.
Temple answers, leads 53-52 with 6:47 left in second half.

[Charleston Pony]

[PonyPride]

Marcus steals, Michael scores — Ponies back in front 57-55
