SMU defense falters in loss to TCU as Horned Frogs bring new life to crosstown rivalry

FORT WORTH -- There's nothing as frightening for a big brother as the moment he realizes his little sibling can beat him in a fight. SMU might have had a similar feeling on Tuesday night.

The Mustangs had held the upper hand in Dallas-Fort Worth's college basketball rivalry for most of this decade, recording five straight wins against rival TCU. But the 20th-ranked Horned Frogs broke through with a convincing 94-83 win over SMU, their first victory in the rivalry since an 84-64 triumph on Nov. 10, 2010.

"This is one of the things I wanted to do my senior year is beat SMU and we got that done tonight," said Kenrich Williams, who finished with a game-high 27 points.
