After losing three out of its last four, and barely clinging to hopes of a berth in the NCAA Tournament, SMU needed a win Sunday afternoon against the No. 6 Cincinnati Bearcats. But the Mustangs were blown out on their home court, losing 76-51 to drop to 15-10 (5-7)
Before the game started, the Mustangs received some bad news. Freshman forward Ethan Chargois, one of just two healthy big men for SMU, rolled his ankle during shoot round. He was unable to play.
Shake Milton, still struggling with a hand injury, was also ruled out prior to the game, leaving SMU with just six scholarship players and a three-man bench.
