GAME THREAD for MBB vs. Memphis

[PonyPride]

Wright with a steal, then turns it right back over to Davis ... who draws Wright's fifth foul

[PonyPride]

"Traitor" chant comes back as Davis heads to the line ... and hits two FTs to put the Tigers ahead 67-58

[PonyPride]

Williamson drives the baseline for two-handed flush

Has 14 points, trailing only Nutall's 15

[PonyPride]

Assist to the Mustang Band ΓÇö which started counting down the shot clock ... "9 ... 8 ... 7 ..."

... but did so about 8 seconds before it was really going to expire, and forcing a bad shot Memphis shot

[PonyPride]

Teams are even with 15 turnovers each

[PonyPride]

Officials appear to have called it a night.
Williamson clubs Williams in the head ΓÇö no call.
Odigie collides with Davis ΓÇö no call (you could argue offensive or defensive, but SOMEONE committed a foul there).

Damaria Franklin leaves and heads to Memphis trainer with a hand over his face — maybe poked in the eye?

Memphis is leading and Davis leads all scorers with 19 points, but his body language says this game is not going the way he hoped it would. He has been hounded all night by Nutall, Phelps, Smith, etc., and has disagreed with at least 2 (if not all 3) of the fouls called against him. He just got pinned in the corner and was forced to burn a timeout, and looked extremely frustrated, even snapping at a teammate going into the timeout.

Gosh..we kind of suck. All these wild [deleted] drives to the hoop and just tossing it up.,..weak

[PonyPride]

Memphis leads SMU on the glass by a single rebound: 31-30
Most of the Mustangs' rebounds are from Williamson (9) and Odigie (7), and those two have been battling hard ... but there have been several times when one of them is the only Mustang in the lane, against 2 or 3 Tigers

[GHammond]

Boy, we really do suck. #Sad

[PonyPride]

Phelps through Lawson, scoring and drawing Lawson's fourth foul
Memphis 76-62
2:30 to go

[PonyPride]

McBride and Agunanne back in

[PonyPride]

FINAL

Memphis 81
SMU 62

Up next: Sunday at Cincinnati

[PonyPride]

Nice post-game hug between Davis and Todorovic ... who now wears the No. 3 jersey Davis used to wear for the Mustangs
