MBB game thread vs. McNeese

[PonyPride]

McNeese's Medley-Bacon is 7-1, but Tristan Clark (12 points, 5 rebounds) and Marcus Weathers (9/5) own the paint.

(I know — bad form to quote your own post)

Marcus W also had a really nice play in the early minutes of the game where he outjumped two McNeese players while flying over the end line to tip a rebound to Davis ... and somehow landed between several cheerleaders without landing on any of them or rolling an ankle while trying to avoid a collision.

Pretty sure that one won't get into the box score...

Davis has a very quiet 9 points (just 2 of 9 from the floor) and SMU leads 55-43 with 13:45 remaining in second half

Yep - in previous post I said he is the key - health permitting

[PonyPride]

Since missing his first free throw, Davis has hit 7 straight — now has 11 points

Nutall's second 3 gives SMU 60-45 lead

Was referencing Tristan

McNeese's Kellon Taylor, who has a game-high 6 rebounds, is down on the court getting his right knee looked at with 11:41 to go. Seems to be in a lot of pain. Assistant coaches carrying him off the court — feet barely touching the ground.

Jasey dives, beats 3 Cowboys to the loose ball, passes to Nutall who feeds Bandoumel for open dunk.

Too bad Jasey won't get an assist for that.

SMU 64, McNeese 47

Exactly the 2nd half the Ponies needed.

Mustangs with 33-26 rebounding edge, including 8 offensive boards

True — has a career high in steals, and now has tied his career high with 3 blocks

[PonyPride]

Mustangs averaged 6.1 steals per game in 17 games last year.
Tonight: 12

[Charleston Pony]

Jasey/Clark combo in 30 minutes has 12 points, 10 rebounds, 4 blocks and 4 steals. Pretty good big man production

[PonyPride]

Nutall with back-to-back 3s, now has 14 points (4 of 8 from 3)

SMU leads 77-51

6:47 to go in second half

Four guys in double figures so far. I could get used to watching 5-6 guys hitting double figures most nights. Good balanced scoring from this bunch. Lots of fire power
