That UALR game was @ Little Rock as well. Jackson State doesn't play a home game until January 7th. Don't know if that was purely a financial decision or had to do with Jackson's water crisis

[PonyPride]

Jackson State's top scorer is guard Ken Evans, who comes into today's game averaging 15.7 points per game.

Forward/guard Trace Young averaging 11.8

[PonyPride]

Coltie Young gets JSU on the board first with a 3.

Todorovic answers with a 3 of his own ... and gets fouled (came into today hitting 81.3% from the line) ... and missed the free throw.

3-3

[Charleston Pony]

Ken Evans hits threes at better than 40% and shoots 4-5 per game. If he comes out feeling it today this could be a tough afternoon.

[PonyPride]

Young hits from long range again

6-3 ΓÇö Jackson State

[PonyPride]

Young again

JSU 11, SMU 5

[PonyPride]

Young has 9 points

All other players on both teams have 7 between them

[Charleston Pony]

Young on fire and Evans barely involved early. Three point shot is the great equalizer in college hoops

[PonyPride]

Young has hit 3 of 5 FGs ΓÇö made three 3-pointers

Everyone else is 3 of 14

[PonyPride]

Odigie with giveaway, but Williamson steals it right back, then dunks to close it 13-7
