That's true ... and the Panthers have thrown in a couple of "how did that go in?" prayer shots

Prairie View shooting well and looks like a team that will keep the pressure on for 40 minutes. Our height advantage is showing with a 2 for 1 rebounding advantage

Gibson and Pettway lead all scorers with 10 points each

The other 8 Panthers who have played have 16 points ... combined

SMU 42, PVAMU 38

Nine 1st half turnovers by SMU and 6 of those on steals by Prairie View. Need to match their intensity which we haven't consistently done in this 1st half

We have played 11 guys vs Prairie View's 9. Hopefully our depth will wear them down in the 2nd half but give them credit they are taking this game to us

Oquendo picks up his second foul while closing out on 5-9 PG Braelon Bush, who hits 3 of 3 FTs, trimming SMU lead to 42-41

Miller hits floater in the lane, after which Yi─ƒito─ƒlu gets called for offensive foul

44-41

Cross with a loooooong 3, followed by a bucket from PVAMU's Marcel Bryant

49-43, SMU

"Give Prairie View credit. They're well-coached, they played hard ..."

HALFTIME
