In a game of long scoring runs, the victory normally goes to the team with the toughness to weather the storm. At some moments in Sunday’s clash of two ranked teams, SMU looked on the verge of being able to bend no more. The Mustangs made a run to tie the game entering the locker room, but SMU looked like it was about to break shortly after the half.

At that point, Cincinnati’s guards were firing on all cylinders, putting on a three-point spectacle for a record breaking Moody Coliseum crowd.
