After Yi─ƒito─ƒlu forces a n ASU turnover, nice patience by Edwards on the break — he had Traore on the right, but as the defense started to shift that way, he found Cross on the other side for a nice up-and-under reverse

Miller to Yi─ƒito─ƒlu for a short layin, stretching SMU lead to 42-34

Miller hasn't scored yet, but he does have 4 of the Mustangs' 7 assists

SMU 44, ASU 34
3:17 to go in first half

Is the announcer saying "o-KWEN-do"?

Isn't it like the old St. Louis Cardinal ... "o-KEN-do"?

Boopie now 0-7 and is really off with his shooting but guys are doing a better job and now plus 10 on the boards. ASU continues to rain threes

Cross with 9 points and 7 boards already as he continues to fill up the stat sheet

Nice state line for Cross:
9 points
3/4 FG
1/2 three-point FGs
2/2 FTs
8 rebounds (2 offensive)

HA! Great minds think alike ... or something.

ASU is no pushover: Hornets came into tonight with 3-4 record, but led LSU by double digits before fading late.

SMU has 7 players with a single foul.

ASU has 5 players with two fouls.

ASU has missed 10 of last 15, 12 of last 18

SMU 49, ASU 39

24.9 seconds left in first half

ASU with 30 of their 39 points coming from threes

HALFTIME

SMU 49, Alabama State 39

Would have been nice to hit that three to close the half but ideally a big would not be taking that three point shot

Seven different ASU guys have made threes but our 30-16 rebounding advantage has been the difference
