With Jarrey Foster injured and SMU’s offense in a funk during the first half of Saturday’s 73-62 win over Tulane, the Mustangs needed someone to step up. They were playing flat, and not hitting their shots. The energy level on the court was low, and it was reflected by the home crowd. Someone needed to ignite the Ponies, and get them out of their early slumber.
The Mustangs were coming out of a timeout, down 16-7, when Jimmy Whitt answered the call. First, he hit a jumper and then stole the ball from Tulane’s Caleb Daniels. When play resumed after a media timeout, he slammed down a dunk over a Tulane player.
