SMU defeated Memphis, 69-62, on Thursday night. Here are three takeaways from the win.
1. What it means -- It wasn't pretty, but SMU did just enough to knock off Memphis on the road on Thursday night, 69-62. The Mustangs played sluggish, turned the ball over often and simply looked tired. And that's understandable considering the lack of depth on this team. The most important thing, however, is the fact that SMU came away with a win to move to 23-4 overall and 11-4 in conference play. SMU is now in a tie with Temple for first place in the American Athletic Conference standings.
