M-Soccer: SMU at Memphis (TV Game)

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

No. 14 SMU is on the road at Memphis Friday night at 7pm - with a live broadcast on Fox Soccer!

The Mustangs (10-3-3, 6-1-1) are in position to win the C-USA regular season title and clinch the top seed in the conference tournament next week. This game is the final regular season game for SMU.

Memphis (6-6-3, 2-2-2) is currently fighting to get into the conference tournament. The Tigers are in action Wednesday night at home against UAB.

With the SMU-Memphis game being moved up to Friday night for television, Memphis will only have one day of rest which in theory should help SMU.

Current C-USA standings:

1. 18 (6-1-0) SMU
2. 13 (4-1-1) Kentucky
3. 13 (4-2-1) Tulsa
4. 12 (4-3-0) UAB
5. 9 (3-3-0) UCF
5. 9 (3-4-0) Marshall
--------
7. 8 (2-2-2) Memphis
8. 4 (1-5-1) South Carolina
9. 1 (0-6-1) FIU

UCF is at Kentucky tonight as well, so it is possible SMU will have first place locked up by the end of the evening.

Go Ponies!

Action around the conference tonight is all final. As mentioned, UCF defeated Kentucky 1-0.

Memphis had an impressive 3-1 victory over UAB to get back into the conference tournament picture, so the Tigers will certainly have some momentum heading into the game Friday night.

1-0 SMU

[Treadway21]

1-1 Memphis ties with a good movement and bad defense.

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Both goals from very nice passes to players virtually unmarked around 6 yards out...

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Memphis up 2-1 after a penalty kick.

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

2-1 final. No big deal as far as C-USA goes but not good for the RPI...

[Treadway21]

Worst goal kick I think I've seen in men's soccer that caused the goal. We still should have won or equalized. Had 3 great chances. About had to throw a shoe at the tv with those announcers.

I heard that when Sherrod made his second goal he shouted "Scattershooting while wondering what happened to SMU's defense..."
