Coming off a three game win streak in American conference play, the Mustangs failed to keep the streak alive against Cincinnati. Within the first couple minutes of Tuesday’s matchup, it was easy to predict how the game would conclude. SMU’s usual top-scorers, Kendric Davis, Isiaha Mike and Tyson Jolly, were unmentionable in the first few minutes.
After hitting under 30 percent of its shots on the night, SMU was unable to meet its expected scoring margin. Before Tuesday, the Mustangs sat at the top spot in the American Athletic Conference for scoring, averaging 76.
