The Cougars bounced back after suffering their first conference loss of the season by defeating the rival Mustangs 71-62 behind an impressive performance from junior forward Fabian White Jr.
“I thought the best player on the floor for us tonight was Fabian,” head coach Kelvin Sampson said. “He’s tough, SMU did a great job of blocking us out… but you know we are going to keep coming… the thing that we preach is percentages… our goal every night is to get half of our missed shots. Fabian’s had that beat into his head since he was a freshman in June.
