GAME THREAD: MBB vs. Central Florida

[PonyPride]

Davis also just picked up his third

SMU 55-50 with 5:30 left in second half

[PonyPride]

Michael Weathers layup gives SMU 10-point lead — 63-53

[PonyPride]

Bandoumel goes for put-back dunk, loses the ball ... which somehow goes in anyway

SMU 65, UCF 53
2:54 to go

[Mustangs35SMU]

Finish strong Stangs.

[Charleston Pony]

UCF forcing too many shots down the stretch and SMU playing tough D giving up no easy buckets. Might become a foul shooting contest for SMU vs 3 point shooting from UCF down the stretch

[PonyPride]

Weathers to Weathers — Marcus feeds Michael for layin.
Ponies lead 67-55 with 1:49 to go

[PonyPride]

Top-of-the-key 3 gives Davis 20

SMU 70, UCF 58
41.8 to go

[Charleston Pony]

K.D. with a dagger! Only 4-14 and 3-10 today but made a huge shot when it mattered most

[Mustangs35SMU]

What a fantastic win for this team, especially with how the first half went until the very end.

Great job and keep building on it.

I have to credit Jankovich for this very important win. We started off horribly off kilter and somehow he pushed the right buttons to get this game turned around. Also credit KD, as he had a horrible game and still managed to lead us to victory. Great team effort! Keep building!

Jank gets credit for recruiting the Weathers brothers and the rotation he has settled on not to mention getting these guys to play great team defense and sharing the ball on offense. K.D. may have shot poorly today, but still lit up the stat sheet with 20 points (thanks to his usual 9-10 FTs after missing his 1st attempt), 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 steals and a block vs only one turnover. Weathers brothers were terrific today and Nutall had his 1st half moments...all a credit to Jank and this staff for recruiting those guys

Solid win. Next up, we get to travel to play a very hard-to-pin-down Cincinnati team who recently beat #14 Illinois, but who also lost to an apparently-scrappy Tulane team on New Years Day. We are slightly favored.

It should be an interesting game. Like you said, Cinci hasn't figured themselves out yet. Got my ticket today. Looking forward to it.

That is a fantastic win against a really good team. And the way we came back to win the game makes it that much more impressive.

It's time for everyone to get on board and support this team and let go of the Jank hate for the next two months.
