can't buy a bucket...nobody feeling it right now.

Tulane shooting 4/8 from 3
SMU shooting 1/9 from 3

Tulane leads, 20-15

We are ice cold shooting 30% on FGs and 11% on 3s

we miss jarrey badly. no size and mcmurray is a liability on D

Nice rebound by Agau, who pulled down the ball and Whitt's head.

Agau tip-in gives SMU 21-20 lead.

Agau then called for a block (got to agree with the officials in the stands who think it was a ridiculous call) ... after which Jank lost his mind. Not sure I've ever seen him react that much to a call.

Also in attendance today: Cannen Cunningham and Ryan Manuel

Just need to shoot better. We are getting good looks. Shake and McMurry are the coldest. Props to Jimmy for stepping up. Tulane is well coached so they will get good looks against a zone but they aren’t good enough to kill us with it. If we shot simply average we would be up by at least 10.

Tulane is playing decent defense.

Whitt and Gu carrying this team right now. Need our shooters to get going in 2nd half to not let Tulane get overly confident

Seems Shake is grabbing the finger on his left hand a lot tonight. What exactly is wrong with that finger?

HALFTIME

SMU 30, Tulane 27

SMU leaders
Points: Jimmy Whitt (12)
Rebounds: Ben Emelogu (5)
Assists: Shake Milton (2)
Steals: Jimmy Whitt (4)

In first game against Tulane, Cameron Reynolds had 20 points.
Tonight: 5

I am ok with a 3 point lead at the half. We haven't made our 3s they have and yet it is a close game. Last time we were up by 12 points in the second half and gave it away. Hopefully the close score at the half plus the memories of the last game will get them fired up to close them out in the second half. We need to play with a sense of urgency and no complacency!!!

SMU 2/12 on 3s
Tulane 8/16 on 3s

Tulane 37
SMU 35

Again, Tulane will be no easy out regardless of how SMU mindset SMU plays with. They are well coached and they have some talent.
