Sterling Brown soared into the air as Nic Moore’s jump shot descended down toward the rim. He couldn’t have timed his leap any better. The ball bounced off the rim, but Brown was right there to tip it in. SMU had its four-point lead back with three and a half minutes to go, 65-61, and seemed like it was finally pulling away after Houston controlled much of the game thanks to leaky SMU defense and a first half full of offensive rebounds.
Or so everyone thought SMU was pulling away. With three seconds left on the shot clock, Damyean Dotson fired from deep on the right wing for a three-pointer.
