GAME THREAD: MBB vs. Lamar

[WildHorse]

If we played today the way we did against Louisiana, SMU would be up 30+ points already.

[Charleston Pony]

Zhuric has his double figures. Now I'd like to see him double/double with enough assists to get several of his teammates into double figures

[Charleston Pony]

Nutall is 1-7 and 0-5 shooting today but has dished out 7 assists without a turnover

[PonyPride]

Zhuric Phelps:
19 points
7/11 FGs
3/5 on 3-pointers
2 rebounds
3 assists
2 turnovers
4 steals
2 blocked shots

SMU 62, Lamar 40
7:19 to go

[PonyPride]

Todorovic cans his third 3, giving SMU 3 players in double digits

Phelps: 19 points
Todorovic: 11
Williamson: 10

[WildHorse]

WIth SMU up 28 points, Emory Lanier feeds Ricardo Wright, who fires up a 3 with more than 25 seconds left on the shot clock.
WHY?

SMU 68, Lamar 43
3:45 to go

Xavier Foster just got up to check in for the first time

[Charleston Pony]

WIth SMU up 28 points, Emory Lanier feeds Ricardo Wright, who fires up a 3 with more than 25 seconds left on the shot clock.
WHY?

Scorer's mentality. He was one of his previous team's leading scorers and with as few minutes as he's getting, he's anxious

[PonyPride]

Foster gets the crowd up with give-and-go with Ricardo Wright that ended up with Foster throwing down a big dunk over 2 Cardinals

SMU 71, Lamar 47

[PonyPride]

Jalen Smith with nice baseline drive, finds Njie for easy dunk
73-47

[PonyPride]

FINAL

SMU (3-3): 75
Lamar (3-4): 50

Up next: Wednesday at Texas A&M

Progress today. Phelps did not force too much. Nutall played very well except he shot the ball poorly. Points from Jalen Smith. Williamson was looking to shoot and made shots. Wright took some good shots - hopefully soon he starts making them.

[geezerdonk]

Well they outdrew the football team; but so did intramural bowling. If the offense this year is stand around the arc and jack up threes (to the tune of 24%), they got a lot of practice. Lanier and Wright are wasted minutes - they might as well be playing with four players. Odigie has physical talent but he his a missed layup/turnover waiting to happen. Ditto Williamson but has five good minutes and then disappears for the rest of the game.
Lazy cross court passes, slow getting back and standing around on defense.
Don't know why Foster isn't playing. He needs to talk to Davis before he wastes his college career too.

[JasonB]

Another positive step forward after the Louisiana game. Odigie only took one bad shot, the long jumper just needs to not be part of his game. Need Phelps to eliminate the step back 3 as well. Just need to smooth out the shot selection issues and efficiency will continue to improve.

Really nice stretch early in the second half where we actually created turnovers, high press in the half court, and actually got several dunks in the game. OMG from Foster, a dunk from Phelps and two for Jalen. Need Foster to start picking up minutes before conference starts.

[Terry Webster]

I read that they are treating Foster like football handled Camar. I suspect by conference play he will be getting 15-20 minutes a game.
