Opening Well: SMU edges Texas A&M Commerce 77-60 in season tournament opener at Moody Coliseum.

UNIVERSITY PARK – When the final buzzer sounded off, SMU knew it had survived its first official test under new head coach Rob Lanier by securing the victory over Texas A&M Commerce.

And yet, the Mustangs knew they would have to play much better than they did Monday if they wished to mount a serious challenge this season.

Games like these serve as great opportunities for us to get closer as a team and improve, SMU head coach Rob Lanier said.

“I’m so proud of the guys that we found a way to pass the test,” he said.
