GAME THREAD: MBB vs. Alabama State

[PonyPride]

After Yi─ƒito─ƒlu forces a n ASU turnover, nice patience by Edwards on the break — he had Traore on the right, but as the defense started to shift that way, he found Cross on the other side for a nice up-and-under reverse

Miller to Yi─ƒito─ƒlu for a short layin, stretching SMU lead to 42-34

[PonyPride]

Miller hasn't scored yet, but he does have 4 of the Mustangs' 7 assists

SMU 44, ASU 34
3:17 to go in first half

Is the announcer saying "o-KWEN-do"?

Isn't it like the old St. Louis Cardinal ... "o-KEN-do"?

Boopie now 0-7 and is really off with his shooting but guys are doing a better job and now plus 10 on the boards. ASU continues to rain threes

[Charleston Pony]

Cross with 9 points and 7 boards already as he continues to fill up the stat sheet

[PonyPride]

Nice state line for Cross:
9 points
3/4 FG
1/2 three-point FGs
2/2 FTs
8 rebounds (2 offensive)

HA! Great minds think alike ... or something.

[PonyPride]

ASU is no pushover: Hornets came into tonight with 3-4 record, but led LSU by double digits before fading late.

[PonyPride]

SMU has 7 players with a single foul.

ASU has 5 players with two fouls.

[PonyPride]

ASU has missed 10 of last 15, 12 of last 18

SMU 49, ASU 39

24.9 seconds left in first half

[Charleston Pony]

ASU with 30 of their 39 points coming from threes

[PonyPride]

HALFTIME

SMU 49, Alabama State 39

[Charleston Pony]

Would have been nice to hit that three to close the half but ideally a big would not be taking that three point shot

[Charleston Pony]

Seven different ASU guys have made threes but our 30-16 rebounding advantage has been the difference
