SMU vs. Hawaii

[Terry Webster]

Two pretty impressive wins so far. Let's get the championship and get ready for conference play.

What time? Can’t find the game.

ESPN2 between games right now. Utah State beat WASU 82-73 in the consolation game and Utah State returned to form with 6 guys scoring in double figures as they hit 11-17 threes. Makes you appreciate how good our defense has been in this tournament. Iona beat Pepperdine 76-66 in the 5th place game. Two really good wins for this team so far. Our game should start about 8:00 central

[Charleston Pony]

a little sloppy early in this one. Four early turnovers and some forced shots from Zhuric but another good start defensively with Hawaii shooting 22%

[tristatecoog]

Coleman, their best in scoring and assists, is on the bench with two fouls.

[Charleston Pony]

physical game with plenty of misses from short range; this could be a battle of attrition with Lanier already giving 10 guys minutes and Hawaii has played 9 guys. Have to earn every point tonight

[Arkpony]

14 points in 15 minutes.

[tristatecoog]

Lanier seems out of control.

[Charleston Pony]

Much needed trey by Todo. Our guys can't hit the wall tonight. Some really ugly shots and then can't make the bunnies. Nerves or fatigue or both?

[tristatecoog]

Great finish. Excellent defense and knocking down some shots.
Hawaii backcourt is back in second half but now down by nine in this low scoring affair.

[Charleston Pony]

Phelps really started feeling it those last 4 minutes and pretty much took over this game. I've noticed he's really improved and can go strong to his left which he didn't do last year. Makes him much tougher to guard. Another good defensive effort holding Hawaii to 24% shooting. That's been the key to this team's improvement as they are making opponents work really hard for everything. Nice to be able to go 10 deep and get enough quality bench minutes to keep everyone reasonably fresh

[Terry Webster]

Only reason UH is in the game is because they are 10-10 from the line

[Charleston Pony]

Good start to 2nd half. Good defense creating good offense and easy buckets. Largest lead now at 38-26

[Charleston Pony]

Could be a big loss if Todorovic is lost for an extended period if not the rest of this season. Injury did not look good

[H-E-B Mustang]

Too bad we can't hit free throws.
