Heard Coach Lanier talking about someone being sick and staying away form the team but didn't hear who that was. Might be Foster?

Both teams sharing the ball well today. SMU with 9 assists on 13 made FGs and UAB with 7 on 11. Would be even better if guys were knocking down threes but many of SMU's assists are coming in the paint or in transition after blocks/steals

When he said that after the Tulane game, he was talking about Hudson

UAB with 6 offensive boards on 14 missed FGs. Several were missed shots from the perimeter that bounced way out but SMU has to tighten down on defensive boards and now give up 2nd chance points

Davis hits 2 FTs, trims SMU lead to 32-29

Efrem Johnson — who I just noticed is listed on the roster as Efrem "Butta" Johnson — cans a 3, trimming SMU lead to a point at 33-32

Gaines dunks on fast break, puts UAB ahead, 34-33

Phelps head-fake gets a defender in the air, after which Phelps jumps up and in, hammered as he missed the shot.
If you want to say he initiated the contact and it should have been an offensive foul, fine — but a collision that heavy has to bring a whistle against SOMEONE.

UAB 41, SMU 37

UAB outscoring SMU 14-5 in second half

Same pattern we've seen in losses where we blow leads by playing too much one on one and forcing things. Doesn't help that nobody is making threes and now our guys look reluctant to shoot even when they get an open look with a rebounder in position

Harris now 1-8 and 0-4 from three. Basically a non factor

Alejandro Vasquez 3 stretches UAB lead to 48-41
