The Cavaliers barely hung on last night to survive SMU, 76-73 in a game that went back and forth the entire second half. Anthony GIll stepped up big time to put up 19 points, 7 rebounds, and an immeasurable level of energy and presence that propelled the Hoos to victory. Joe Harris and London Perrantes both shot a perfect 3-3 from beyond the arc -- a particularly good sign for Perrantes, who has been struggling to make field goals all season.

Missouri State upset Texas A&M in last night's night cap, 73-67, behind freshman Austin Ruder's 19 points on the evening. They used a 13-3 run to take the lead midway through the second half, during which time the Bears completed two four-point plays.
