UNIVERSITY PARK -- Given the magnitude of senior night, which featured videos, heartfelt speeches and standing ovations, SMU players expended much energy and emotion capping the tribute with a blowout victory.
The 80-54 victory over Connecticut before a sellout crowd at Moody Coliseum seemed a fitting way to end the season.
But wait, there’s more.
SMU’s season ends on Sunday in Cincinnati.
This day has loomed large during the Mustangs’ finite season. Ineligible for the postseason, the Mustangs can still hoist a trophy. Victory would clinch at least a share of their second straight league title.
