DALLAS (AP) - Travis Gabbidon scored 18 points and Texas-San Antonio withstood a late SMU rally for an 80-75 victory Monday night.

Bamba Fall cut Texas-San Antonio's lead to 78-75 with 5.4 seconds left, but Gabbidon inbounded the ball to Morris Smith IV, who went up the sideline and made a dunk for the final score and the Roadrunners' third straight win.

Smith finished with 15 points, 12 of those off 3-pointers. Devin Gibson had 14 and Demarco Stepter 10 for Texas-San Antonio (6-4).

Paul McCoy led SMU (3-7) with 19 points. Derek Williams scored 17 and Fall had 11.

Texas-San Antonio, which led 33-32 at the half, has won back-to-back road games for the first time since the 1988-1989 season.
