Bandoumel picks up fourth foul in 12 minutes

Watching Davis drive to the basket is a thing of beauty. We need to stay aggressive. Our jump shots are no longer falling and there is too much time on the clock.

Agreed. If Smith touched Johnson, it was one fingertip to another. Very light foul — at the risk of sounding like a homer, that should have been a non-call.

Just tuned in . Another game away from Moody with our guys trying to finish after getting a seemingly comfortable lead. Big test in these last 4 minutes

Marcus Weathers misses a dunk, UNM's Johnson answers with jumper

Davis hits a J for SMU — now has 29 on 10-of-19 FGs — to give SMU 81-70 lead with 3:00 to go

That missed dunk by Weathers was a killer. On the other hand, Davis is so cool under pressure. Amazing to watch!

K.D. has just been money at crunch time!

UNM closes gap to 83-72
Pitino calls last timeout with 1:53 to go

[PonyPride]

Woah ... MWC announcers mention that SMU was a 6-point favorite?
Most announcers will go nowhere near any reference to a betting line.

[PonyPride]

Marcus Weathers grabbed from behind while going in for layup — intentional foul (correctly) called, a call that apparently baffled Pitino

SMU 85, UNM 72

I'm not a fan of that iso possession by Davis but thankfully Weathers was there to grab the rebound and bail him out.
