Coming off a big win Saturday against the USC Trojans, the SMU Mustangs traveled to Fort Worth on Tuesday to take on the No. 20 TCU Horned Frogs, hoping to secure its third victory over a top 25 team this season. But the Mustangs failed to get it done, falling to their rival 94-83 in their first true road game of the season.
“I felt like we were just a step slow [tonight],” SMU head coach Tim Jankovich said.
SMU fell behind early, largely due to TCU’s size. The Horned Frogs led by six going into the under-16 time out in the first half.
