Going to be a FT shooting contest to close this one out, Zhuric really needs to work on his shooting touch. Really miss KD being on the floor now

[PonyPride]

Marcus Weathers gets rebound, Latrell Jones lands on him — gets up slowly, but looks OK. Holding his back

FINAL

SMU 68, Nicholls 58

[PonyPride]

Mustangs will host Washington State either Saturday or Sunday

[Charleston Pony]

Guys really picked up the effort late and ended up with a 49-35 rebound advantage. This team usually lives and dies by the three and if you told me they would hit only 4-23 I'd say I do not like our chances. Good thing it was Nicholls and not WASU tonight!

Survive and advance

So glad we won! Let's prove [deleted] Vitale right and win this thing!

[Charleston Pony]

Once again it was the Weathers brothers show. They combined for 32 points, 23 boards and shot 11-19 from the floor and 10-10 FTs

[Charleston Pony]

Hopefully our guys got their ugly shooting game out of their system. Need to drain threes if these guys are going to make it to NY

Should add that Frank the Tank stepped up and made some plays for us down the stretch. That was good to see
