Nic Moore didn’t score until nearly 28 minutes had passed in Thursday’s win at Memphis. On Sunday vs. Tulane, the senior needed 24 minutes to record his first point.
But SMU’s other Moore, forward Ben Moore, provided 10 first-half points on his way to a 16-point, 12-rebound day. His game-high point and rebound totals led SMU (24-4, 12-4 American) to a 74-53 win over Tulane (10-19, 3-13 AAC). Moore also added a team-high two blocks and three steals. He scored eight of SMU’s first 19 points, helping SMU keep the score close despite its point guard’s scoreless half.
