GAME THREAD: MBB vs. Prairie View A&M

[PonyFan]

At the risk of jinxing things, PV has no steals this half. Guys are doing a better job of protecting and moving the ball. 15 assists on 24 made FGs now

Now you've done it ... nice going ...

[PonyPride]

Cross crashes through two opponents, finds Miller for open 3
80-54

[PonyPride]

Yi─ƒito─ƒlu already getting the "he's big so fouls don't matter as much" treatment. Took a strong shot in the back ΓÇö no call.

Then got tangled up when going for a rebound, and engaged in a little wrestling match over the ball. Didn't back away from trash-talking opponent.

Yi─ƒito─ƒlu quickly replaced by Cross ΓÇö the only Mustang with3 fouls

[indianmustang]

we need to see our team perform against better teams

[PonyPride]

Mustangs with 4 scoring in double figures:

Harris (15)

Yi─ƒito─ƒlu, Miller (11)

SMU 82, PVAMU 57 ΓÇö 7:56 to go

[Charleston Pony]

10 of 11 Mustangs have now scored and 4 guys now in double figures. PV has just not figured out this zone and we have 19 offensive boards

[PonyPride]

Traore cuts down the lane, fields a pass and then swings it to Oquendo for a corner 3

Traore then gets a dunk, followed by Miller stealing the inbounds pass and laying it in ΓÇö lead suddenly passes 30 points: 89-57

[PonyPride]

Great pass by Cross, who faked a shot before snapping a back-door pass to George for the lay-in

93-60

[PonyPride]

Back-to-back 3s by Harris and George give SMU 12 buckets from long range tonight ... and a 98-62 lead with 4:21 to go

[PonyPride]

Teammates and Enfield have raved about Yi─ƒito─ƒlu's passing ability, and he's showing it off tonight. He only has 2 assists, but has several passes that set up the assists. When he gets the ball down low, the defense collapses around him, and he's very good at keeping the ball up high and finding an open teammate. It won't be as easy once SMU starts facing teams with more size, but when he's covered by someone half a foot (or more) shorter than he is, it's easy to see over the top and find the open man.

[Charleston Pony]

Guys are just padding stats now. Samet is just one board away from joining Cross with a double double and every Mustang has now scored. SMU with 24 assists on 35 made FGs

[PonyPride]

Colbert hits both FTs ΓÇö SMU leads, 102-65
