Game 278 - East Carolina at SMU

February 1 at Moody Coliseum in Dallas, TX
ESPNNEWS

SMU keeps on rolling along.

The Mustangs' defense, third nationally in points allowed, was outstanding yet again, holding the overmatched visitors from Greenville to 30% shooting in an 86-46 win.

SMU has won 15 of 16, with the only loss during the stretch coming to AAC leader Cincinnati by two points. The teams meet again in Dallas on February 12.

* Other than the host Mustangs, the broadcast team of Alex Faust and Stephen Howard was the most impressive on Wednesday. Besides combining to say the word "basketball" 28 times, they also put together a fantastic collection of nonsense.

Howard was the star:

"The straw that stirs this team"
"Plug and play"
"He can give them energy minutes"
"Playing on all cylinders"
"This is a finely-tuned animal in SMU"
"That's a recipe for distance disaster for the opposing team"
"That's all SMU needed to get their rutters going"

But Faust was a contributor off the bench:

"Try and stem the bleeding"
"Obviously the scoreboard well out to pasture"
"Sean McDowell, fult tilt boogie"
