OFFICIAL GAME 16 THREAD: Temple vs. SMU

[Charleston Pony]

solid 1st half. Another night where we could have 4-5 guys in double figures. This team is really coming together and playing well. We provide matchup nightmares for our opponents

[H-E-B Mustang]

Rebound margin is 22-12 in our favor.

I thought Foster was the solid spark. He made big baskets and strong D. And solid rebounding.

We really took the air out of the ball the last few minutes of the first half. That always makes me nervous. I hope we go back to a bit faster play in the second half.

[sadderbudweiser]

Here come the threes. Good timeout.

[PonyPride]

After spotting Temple an early six-point lead, SMU closed the first half on a 38-14 run.

Temple made some good offensive changes to their scheme at half. Let's see how we counter defensively after the timeout.

Man oh man, here comes the stress. I was really hoping this would be a blow out.

[PonyPride]

That's four fouls on Temple's Daniel Dingle ... with 15:53 to go in second half

[sadderbudweiser]

Man oh man, here comes the stress. I was really hoping this would be a blow out.

They started out well in the first half too. Let's see if it sustainable.

[sadderbudweiser]

Big time foul trouble for Temple.

[PonyPride]

Make-up call: officials screwed up calling a backcourt violation against SMU, then "made up for it" with gift carrying call against Temple

[ponyte]

Took their best shot early and still able to respond. I like this team's poise.

[sadderbudweiser]

Four on Sterling.

I love when we are so good at drawing fouls. Temple is going to have to play conservative or not play at all.
