WBB: SMU 73, ECU 68 OT

[George S. Patton]

Sorry, I thought I had clicked onto the game thread but my computer was acting up.

The largest deficit I heard in the second half was 47-36. Indeed, it is a great win without Wills. But this game really illustrated how much we needed her because ECU got so many second and third chances. You really need that power forward in conference basketball, especially on the road.

Sounded like Severin was really big in the last half of the second half in OT. But I could sense that if we got the lead in OT, it would change the psyche of both teams.

The good thing is that this gives them a lot of momentum going into Morgantown -- nice Ray -- er..Huntington Sunday. Sounded like Wills would be joining the team for that game.

Good teams, who are on a mission to get into postseason play, find ways to win these games.

Travel safe, ladies.

How about 13-4!

A road win.
A conference road win.
Without one of the best players.
Against a team that was desperate for its first conference win.
Against a team that came out in both halves shooting hot.

AWESOME JOB, MUSTANGS!
