SMU snapped No. 6 Houston’s 12 game win streak and handed the Cougars their first loss in American Athletic Conference play, as UH fell 85-83 to the Mustangs on Wednesday night inside Moody Coliseum in Dallas.
The Cougars got things going early with a quick 10-0 run behind back-to-back threes from both graduate forward Fabian White Jr. and graduate guard Taze Moore.
UH knocked down all three of its 3-point attempts to jump out to a quick 16-5 lead over the Mustangs just over four minutes into the game.
All of the Cougars’ first seven baskets were assisted on.
