Just four games into the season, SMU is already in serious trouble. The Mustangs lost to Lipscomb 79-73 Saturday night, dropping to 2-2 on the season, with neither loss coming to an impressive opponent.
Lipscomb looked like the crisper team throughout the contest. Despite having a smaller and less athletic squad, the Bisons ran smooth sets on offense that got their players good looks and competed hard on defense.
“I thought they played better defensively in our game than they had all year by far,” Tim Jankovich said.
Jahmal McMurray, who lit up Western Carolina in SMU’s last game, made just three of his 19 shots, and was called for an offensive foul on one of SMU’s late possessions.
