After being barely edged out in two straight games, it seemed like SMU had finally stolen a close one for itself Thursday night. Until it hadn’t. South Florida guard David Collins sank a go-ahead 3-pointer with 6.2 seconds left in the game, erasing a late 11-0 SMU run that got the team a late lead. Ethan Chargois’ last second 3-pointer missed and the Mustangs fell to the Bulls 67-66 Thursday.
The loss came eight days after Wichita State’s Samajae Haynes-Jones beat the Mustangs in the game’s final second, and five days after SMU’s offense went dry late in the game against Cincinnati.
