GAME THREAD: MBB vs. Miami

HALFTIME

SMU 60, Miami 26

[Charleston Pony]

Just a little sloppy there to end the half. That's what I worry about...our guys relaxing and getting careless. Need to learn from the women blowing their 31 point lead at Pitt last week. Miami will be challenged to show some fight in the 2nd half so we need to come out strong again and deny them any kind of run to open the half.

Harris and Yigitoglu already in double figures and Boopie with 7 assists and 9 points could be headed for a double double

Mustangs' 34-point halftime lead is their largest of the season.
Previous high: 31 vs. Georgia Tech

Ponies are up 34 points despite shooting just 2 free throws (making 1)

Officials must have a tee time or a fishing trip planned: each team with just two first-half fouls

SMU out rebounding Miami 19-4 but in the Hurricanes' defense we've only missed 8 shots and have 6 offensive boards so they haven't had many opportunities for defensive boards

Run & gun basketball. Not much half court action today

[PonyPride]

Mustangs shot 76% (26-34) in the first half, and 63.6% (7/11) on three-pointers

Held the Canes to FOUR rebounds in the first half (19-4 edge on the glass)

Those numbers will win a ton of games

True ΓÇö two of UM's four rebounds were on the offensive end

[Roach]

Best half of the year.
Also: Miami is awful.
Hard to tell much today.
