Phelps (SMU) and Lawson (Memphis) each with 2 fouls

This was a pretty good game until the 1st TV timeout and then Memphis' talent took over. Sure hope Lanier can find significant upgrades with the 4 seniors moving on and opening up those 'ships for next year

Since then, he's scoreless on 0-for-5 shooting.
To be fair, he's also taking a beating when he goes in to the lane.

They are letting 'em bang tonight and that spells advantage Memphis

Jalen Smith with a 3 and a 2, closing the gap to 38-31.

Davis with a 3, turns around to tell the Mustangs about it.

Agreed

Nutall leads SMU with 10 points (same for Kendric Davis)
Phelps and Williamson 6 each

Memphis 44, SMU 35

Malcolm picks up his third foul (Phelps misses FT) with 1:20 left in the first half.

Williamson with a great save of errant pass going out of bounds, finds Todorovic for a 3 — he missed, but Nutall gets put-back layup

Memphis 50, SMU 37
18.1 to go in first half

Can’t handle Memphis pressure.

Davis gets decked while putting up a shot at the buzzer, and ... expresses his displeasure at the no-call.

He must have said some magic words, because he get a very quick technical foul. Teammates ushered him away to the locker room and head coach Penny Hardaway jumped in to argue (protecting Davis from the chance of picking up a second).
