With 15:49 left in the second, Sterling Brown drove the ball into the paint from the left side and was met with three East Carolina defenders under the basket. All four went up with the ball, with ECU’s Elijah Hughes coming away with the block. Fortunately for the Mustangs, Hughes swatted the ball right back to SMU’s Ben Moore, who trailed Brown to the hoop for the score on the putback slam.
On what started out as a poor shooting day for SMU, Moore was getting it done everywhere, recording a double-double by early in the second half.
