HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- Rodney Purvis scored a career-high 28 points and UConn upset [21/21] SMU 81-73 on Sunday, knocking the Mustangs out of first place in the American Athletic Conference.
Daniel Hamilton scored 14 of his 16 points in the final 7:41 and Ryan Boatright added 23 points for the defending national champion Huskies (17-11, 10-6 American), who won for the first time this season against a ranked opponent.
Markus Kennedy had 18 points to lead SMU (23-6, 14-3), which had won five straight, 13 of its past 14 and 21 of its past 23 games.
The Mustangs led only once at 53-51 on a jumper in the lane by Kennedy with 8:10 left.
But Hamilton responded with back-to-back 3-pointers and UConn pushed the lead back to double figures and hung on for the win.
SMU returns to action next Sunday when the Mustangs host Tulsa at Moody Coliseum. Tip-off is slated for 2:00 p.m. CT and the game will be televised on ESPNU. For ticket information visit smumustangs.com/tickets or vividseats.com.
