In fairness I showed up at halftime so you’re all welcome.

[Charleston Pony]

Didn't take long for our guys to get right back into this game. Amazing what Harris' knocking down a few shots can do for this team.

ECU's Brandon Johnson travels — about 4 steps — but Keon Ambrose-Hylton is whistled for his third foul, instead

42-41, SMU

[Charleston Pony]

On these nights when our guys are shooting poorly I sure would like to see Jalen a little more aggressive on offense. He's a much improved shooter this year and still passes up open looks too often. At least we've got a ballgame now

[PonyPride]

SMU outshooting ECU, 50% (6/12) to 30.8$ (4/13) in second half

[PonyPride]

Tyreek Smith jumper from FT line stretches SMU lead to 47-43

[PonyPride]

Harris drills a 3
SMU leads, 52-44

[Charleston Pony]

Williamson sparking this team with his defense and rebounding. We will miss a lot of what he brings to the game but not his lack of offensive production. He did make those two ealy FTs but is 1-7 and must have missed at least 3 layups tonight. Was really hoping he's have a good offensive night but he's making up for it with hustle and now has 11 boards, 2 blocks an assist and a steal

[PonyPride]

Tyreek Smith, Ambrose-Hylton and ECU's Malonga all have 3 fouls

[PonyPride]

Walker hits a pair of FTs, stretching ECU run to 8-0

52-52
