NIT game thread: MBB vs. Nicholls

[Charleston Pony]

Who gets his 10th rebound and double double first...Marcus or Michael?

You did it again

Both Weathers brothers with 12 points, 9 rebounds

Was just posing the question as to who will get his 10th rebound 1st. I expect both to do it before this game is over

[PonyPride]

Each team has blocked four shots

[PonyPride]

Nicholls guard Pierce Spencer picks up his third and fourth fouls within 13 seconds of each other

Michael Weathers hits both FTs

56-49

[Charleston Pony]

Weathers brothers with 26 points and 18 rebounds. Where would we be without these guys?

[PonyPride]

Every time Gordon touches the ball, Bandoumel meets him well outside the three-point line

Expect Jankovich to point that out in post-game press conference

Spencer checks back in with 4 fouls and 6 minutes to go

[Charleston Pony]

Bandoumel's defensive assignment is hurting his offensive production tonight but we just need others to pick up the slack.

[PonyPride]

Out of sync: Phelps and Marcus Weathers get out on a 2-on-1 break, and Phelps airmails the alley-oop pass over Weathers' reach and out of bounds

Michael Weathers takes a small step back before sprinting to easy dunk ... and steps out of bounds.

One of those nights...

[Charleston Pony]

SMU 4-22 from three with Band 1-9. Our guys usually lose with those kind of numbers. Need to finish strong

Bandoumel just needs to realize it's not his night offensively and simply do his part defensively. 1-12 is ridiculous.

[PonyPride]

Gordon cans another 3

SMU 56, NSU 52

[Charleston Pony]

Was about to comment that Michael hasn't turned it over as much as usual tonight...oops!

[Charleston Pony]

Can't let Gordon get comfortable

[PonyPride]

NSU fouls

Little, Lyons: 3
Spencer: 4

SMU leads 56-52
3:52 to go

[Charleston Pony]

Bandoumel just needs to realize it's not his night offensively and simply do his part defensively. 1-12 is ridiculous.

Exactly; he's been reluctant to shoot so he knows it's not his night. Leading the team with 4 assists, has 5 boards and playing his usual strong D

[mustangxc]

I was hoping we'd coast tonight before some nail-biters but alas we are SMU and nothing is ever easy lol!
