It was an emotional night at Moody Coliseum as seniors Jordan Tolbert, Markus Kennedy and Nic Moore played their final game on their home court. The seniors were all individually introduced to an energetic crowd,andMustang super-fan George W. Bush greeted the starting five before tip-off. SMU rode that energy into the game, coming up with a dominant win over UConn. The Mustangs played great basketball from start to finish, building a lead over the Huskies that grew to 30 points at one point in the game. The final score was 80-54, SMU.
The Mustangs came out of the gate playing stingy defense, as UConn was not able to get on the board until 3 minutes and 15 seconds had passed.
