SMU Basketball – 2nd half of season

It was an interesting second half of the season for the Mustangs. The team showed improvement, and after losing a 24 point 2nd half lead to the UAB Blazers the team bounced back to finish 8th in Conference USA with a 7-9 conference mark (14-17 overall). They saw their first conference wins against the Memphis Tigers and Houston Cougars during the conference schedule.

Here are some of my favorite pictures from the 2nd half of the season.

I was lucky enough to be allowed to shoot an SMU pom squad member, Amanda Green, for Cheerleader of the Week feature for Sport Illustrated. The feature was put on on si.com on December 24, 2009 to coincide with the SMU football team’s first bowl game appearance in 25 years in the Hawaii Bowl. You can see the pictures and Amanda’s 20 questions at the following site: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/extramustard/12/22/cheerleader.of.the.week/index.html. Here are some of my favorite pictures (some of which didn’t make it on si.com) and some outtakes. I hope you like them.

SMU v. Rice

November 7, 2009 – It was Homecoming at SMU as the Mustangs took on the Rice Owls. SMU took at early lead but were soon down to the winless Owls. It wasn’t until Sterling Moore blocked a Rice field goal attempt and Bryan McCann returned it for a touchdown on the last play of the first half that SMU would take the lead for good. It wasn’t easy, but the Mustangs were able to hold out for a 31-28 win. Next week the Mustangs face the UTEP Miners, and a victory will make the Mustangs bowl eligible!

FC Dallas crushes Kansas City 6-0

FC Dallas must have been wondering where the offense was going to come from after the sold striker Kenny Cooper to 1860 Munich earlier in the week, but they didn’t have to wait long for an answer. Jeff Cunningham scored the first of his four goals in the 39th minute which was followed three minutes later by the first of David Ferreira’s two goals.

The halftime score was the same as the previous weekend, but in that game FC Dallas conceded four second half goals to lose to the Colorado Rapids. FC Dallas were out to make sure that would not happen again. They dominated play in the second half and got three more goals from Cunningham starting with one from the penalty spot in the 66th minute and then again in the 75th minute and 89th minute and one more from Ferreira in the 78th.

The margin of victory was the largest in club history and the six goals tied for the most in club history. All in all, a dominant performance by FC Dallas.
