SMU Analysis: Riding momentum

The Mustangs secured their second consecutive victory on Sunday evening, triumphing over UAB with a score of 72-69. Samuell Williamson showcased his skills by contributing 14 points and 6 rebounds. Additionally, Chuck Harris and Zhuric Phelps also tallied 14 points each, aiding the Mustangs offensively, marking their fifth win in 7 games. Despite briefly trailing by 3 points in the second half, a remarkable 8-0 run solidified their victory and propelled them to their 14th win of the season.

 

Rice Analysis: Struggling side

The Rice Owls have managed to assemble an unexpected pair of victories, triumphing over UTSA with a score of 80-76 on Saturday afternoon. This impressive win on the road follows their surprising upset against Memphis in their previous match. Mekhi Mason played a pivotal role in this success, achieving a career high 30 points.

Nevertheless, the Rice Owls’ performance in the AAC has been underwhelming so far, managing only 3 victories in their initial 9 conference matches. Currently, they hold the 9th position in terms of scoring offense within the AAC.

Overall our basketball analysis clearly sees a trend when it comes to Rice, as the Owl’s get shaky feet against in-state opponents. Thus we give the edge to a red hot SMU.
