[Charleston Pony]

Tough to beat anyone shooting 25% and Boopie only 1-8 in that 1st half. Looks like this one is going ugly early and we are looking like the same NIT level team we were last year

[Dark Horse]

Is the UNC defense that good?
Are we scared of the Deandome?

[PonyPride]

Yi─ƒito─ƒlu gets his money's worth on third foul. Looks more dramatic than it really was, but after body contact stopped Ian Jackson's momentum, Yi─ƒito─ƒlu swung his arm down, which initially looked like he hit Jackson in the head.

After review, the foul was upgraded to Flagrant 1.

Jackson hits 2 FTs and UNC keeps possession, leading 56-35

[PonyPride]

Harris's second 3 ΓÇö just the third for SMU ΓÇö makes him the first Mustang in double figures with 11 points

[Dark Horse]

Samet is going to come out better on the other side, but this last stretch of games has been a tough learning experience as far as learning the college game

SMU shooting 28.6% (14/49), including 20% (3/15) from long range.
