SMU 64 #21 UCONN 55...Mustangs "PONY UP" in STORRS Lore and beats UCONN to stay 3rd in the AAC...the "Flying NIC-K's" out duel the HUSKIES NAPIER and BOATRIGHT...for SMU "Twice is Nice" CAMPUS HARDWOOD from STORRS U #PonyUp #UConn AAC

The SMU Mustangs get a Statement Game as Logistically speaking this Conference the AAC makes no sense but who am I to judge. The 'Stangs "Pony Up" and get a 64-55 "W" as they held the exciting UConn Back Court to an 8 for 28 Shooting Night and 3 for 8 from the Arc.

We know this that SMU is as tough as nails in Transition Defense and the Half Court Defense and they made UConn work for all them 55 points. "Pony Up" was led by their heavily underrated back court of  the "Flying Nic-k's" in Nic Moore and Nick Russell as they both dropped 15 pints each facing UConn's Napier and Boatright. 'Nova Transfer Markus Kennedy added 13 and grabbed seven boards as the UConn Front Line was non-existent. For the Mustangs they sweep the season series with UConn and how 'bout them Apples!

With the win SMU (22-6 overall) moves to 11-4 in the AAC good for 3rd behind Cincy and the 'Ville. UConn (21-6 overall) falls to 9-5 in the conference. Both Teams will be something to be reckoned with in March because of their outstanding guard play. Expect Cincy, the 'Ville, Memphis, UConn, and SMU to all be factors in the Tourney and the only five to get bids from the new AAC.
