Going into Wednesday night, SMU was playing its worst basketball of the Tim Jankovich era. The Mustangs had lost three straight games, and a fourth seemed inevitable as No. 7 Wichita State loomed on their schedule. But no one told that to Shake Milton, who poured in 33 points as the Mustangs stunned the Shockers 83-78 Wednesday night.
“To come in here and do this is just amazing,” Jankovich said on the ESPN telecast after the game. “Our guys could not have played better.”
While the win is huge for SMU, it may turn out to be a pyrrhic victory.
