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. TCU was able to clean up the glass on both sides of the court.
