TULSA, Okla. — With 1:31 remaining and SMU trailing for the first time in the game, senior Sterling Brown found sophomore Shake Milton all alone on the perimeter.
Milton buried it, giving the Mustangs a two point lead. He jogged back down the floor steely-eyed as his hometown crowd roared behind his bench.
Moments later, Southern California’s Elijah Stewart hit his sixth three-pointer of the game, giving the lead back to the Trojans.
After a missed 1-and-1 free throw by SMU senior Ben Moore, the Mustangs fouled Chimezie Metu immediately, putting him at the line.
