OFFICIAL: SMU vs. USC THREAD

Whitt for President

[PonyPride]

Interesting look: passes against USC zone going through Jimmy Whitt camped out at the foul line

Milton hits 1-2 FTs to tie it at 27-27 ... then gets whistled for over-the-back foul while pursuing rebound

[mustangxc]

Terrible decision by Shake to close the half. I’ll take a 3 point deficit considering how the half went but this team is going nowhere if our leaders do not lead.

[PonyFan32]

Yeah I was hoping to close to 3 by half but to tie it and then give up a 3 was painful

[ALEX LIFESON]

Bad first half from Foster and Shake.

[Pony_Law]

Up and down half. USC’s turnovers kept us in it. If we made our free throws and our open 3’s we’d be up by like 8. We will go as far as shake takes us, don’t know if shake can carry us against better teams.

[Rebel10]

Whitt has a nice mid range jump shot.

[PonyFan32]
