The transition to SMU was not perfectly smooth for Isiaha Mike.
A highly touted transfer that averaged 11.3 points per game as a freshman at Duquesne, Mike struggled to find his footing in his inaugural season on the Hilltop, averaging just five points per game in his first four.
Saturday night against Tulane, Mike showed what the hype was all about. He finished with a season-high 20 points, making all five of his 3-pointers, as SMU (12-7, 4-3 AAC) beat Tulane (4-15, 0-7 AAC) 85-75.
Mike started the game with three turnovers in its first four minutes, causing Tim Jankovich to pull him, which upset Mike.
