Without Shake Milton and Jarrey Foster, the Mustangs fell to Houston, 67-58, on the road Thursday night.
Junior guard Jahmal McMurray led the Mustangs in scoring with 17 points, while senior transfer Akoy Agau added another 13. Freshman guard William Douglas recorded a career-high 11 points, his first time in double-digits all season.
Despite leading for over half the game, SMU couldn’t find the points late in the second half. SMU’s 22-minute lead was diminished in the last five minutes of play when the Mustangs recorded five of their 13 turnovers and the Cougars took the lead.
