J'Wan Roberts goes down low — misses a shot, wrestles Odigie for a rebound, misses again — SMU ball.

Could have called a half a dozen fouls on either player in that one exchange.

Nice effort by Ambrose-Hylton, who lose the ball, dove on the floor and reached out a long arm to grab it back. Jump ball — possession to SMU

[Charleston Pony]

Good effort early by the Mustangs if only we had better shooters and a true PG to help handle Houston's defensive pressure

Worth watching: Houston's Tramon Mark didn't make the last trip up the floor — but stayed in the game — while kneading his thigh/hip
