Maluach and Yi─ƒito─ƒlu might both be 7-2, but Yi─ƒito─ƒlu is notably thicker and stronger. Twice in 30 seconds he moved Maluach out of his way the low post with one arm.
Yi─ƒito─ƒlu has 6 points and 8 rebounds.

Did we recently re-paint the gym floor? The blue sidelines and SMU letters look darker -- they almost look Duke blue.

Progress?
SMU is shooting 6/12 on free throws, but after starting 2/7, the Ponies have gone 4/5 since then from the line.

Yes — before the season. Had to be done to accommodate the ACC logos, etc.

This one's over. Just getting outclassed. Duke is realizing they can drive on us and score at will

Flagg cans another 3 ... and should have had a free throw added on, as he got decked while shooting.
He leads all players with 24 — nobody else from either team has reached double figures.
54-37 Duke
15:51 to go

Nice work by the home fans: startup "Let's go Duke" chant overwhelmed and turned into "S!M!U!" chant.
