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

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

Yi─ƒito─ƒlu misses put-back dunk after Miller miss

Mustangs are the bigger team, but UNC enjoying 22-14 edge on points in the paint

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

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

Yi─ƒito─ƒlu picks up No. 4

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.
