Prayers answered by Agunanne! Now lets get a stop.

Agunanne with put-back to give him 6 points — his high since transferring to SMU

Notable since Tristan Clark has not played

[Charleston Pony]

Hopefully Todorovic can help spread the floor and drain some threes. Agunanne bringing some heart to this game. Nutall appears to have just lost confidence in his shot. Need to hit threes to keep Memphis spread out. 25% is not going to get it done

Bandoumel hits 2 FTs to end 8-2 Memphis run

strong finish thanks to an unexpected effort from Agunanne who has helped our guys win the battle of the boards. Hope he can play the bulk of the 2nd half because his presence has been huge! Helps that KD is 4-7 from three

K.D., Agunanne & of course the Weathers brothers came to play today. Need others to step up and contribute. Zhuric has played some good D but really looks like a FR offensively. Going to be an endurance contest and I would expect Jalen Smith might see some minutes before this one is over. Frosh guards might need to take more of Nutall's minutes

[Charleston Pony]

A little role reversal in that half. SMU playing too much one on one at times and our guys have only 4 assists on 14 made FGs whereas Memphis has 10 assists on 14 made FGs . As expected, they are killing us in the paint but since Agunanne entered this game, Memphis isn't getting those 2nd and 3rd chances
