Playing a schedule that didn’t afford many opportunities for meaningful non-conference wins, SMU got an important one in Georgetown Saturday afternoon, beating the Hoyas 81-73 in Washington D.C.
SMU was coming off of a home loss to TCU is which its offense stagnated late in the game. Saturday, it looked completely different. The players made well-designed and well-timed cuts, and passes were there to meet them when they broke free. The Mustangs exceeded their previous total by 22 points.
SMU started somewhat slowly on offense, but Nat Dixon broke the team out of its funk in the first half, making three 3-pointers.
