[PonyPride]

When it rains, it pours: Ambrose-Hylton now has 3 fouls — Mo Njie in

[PonyPride]

Mustangs with 3 scoring in double figures

Hudson: 15
Harris: 14
Phelps: 11

[PonyPride]

Phelps hits a 3 at the buzzer ... and fouled by Conwell. Misses free throw.

HALFTIME
SMU 49, Indiana State 42

[Arkpony]

Free throws! Make your $&@$& free throws!!!

[Charleston Pony]

You know things are going SMU's way when Phelps hits a three at the buzzer and we make 60% of our threes in that 1st half. Now if we could only make FTs

[PonyPride]

Halftime score change: 49-40 — goaltend called against Phelps waived off, so ISU bucket gets erased.

Our 3 bigs all have 3 fouls and Williamson has 2. ISU is killing us with back door cuts in the paint and my fear is this halftime lead will evaporate quickly if they foul out our bigs and we start missing shots. Hudson and Harris both 6-7 in the 1st half and a combined 5-5 from three. Would love to see that continue but we know better

Good. It was obvious on the replay and even ISU's homer announcers knew it

Nice!

If SMU is able to hold on and win this game we get to host Minnesota in the next round

Anyone else notice the impartial public address announcer at Indiana State? He makes a big deal about SMU baskets just about as much as ISU baskets.

"CHUUUUUCKKK HARRIS FOR TWOOOOOO".

Never seen anything like that. Kind of cool though.

[Charleston Pony]

ISU with 9 assists on 12 made FGs. SMU with 5 assists on 19 made FGs. We have 3 guys carrying the scoring and creating their own shots for the most part...a lot of spinning and backing guys down. Expect ISU to do more double teaming so we are going to need to look for and hit open perimeter shots to win this game

Harris was a Butler guy so pretty well known in that area

[PonyPride]

Ricardo Wright, who took a weird shot to the chest by an ISU player backing up into him after playing just 3 minutes, has been trying to work through his discomfort on the sideline and just went to the locker room with a trainer.

Hudson with another 3

SMU 38, ISU 35

Apparently a shoulder injury. Return unknown.

Who's the new radio guy? He's really good.
