DALLAS (AP) -- Semi Ojeleye scored 22 points on 8-of-11 shooting from the field to help lead SMU to an 84-57 win over UC Santa Barbara on Tuesday night.

Sterling Brown scored 14 points and added seven rebounds, while Ben Moore and Shake Milton each had 12 for the Mustangs (4-1), which improved to 3-0 at home this season.

SMU shot 55.8 percent from the field while limiting the Gauchos (0-4) to just 32.8 percent. The Mustangs also won the rebound battle 43-26 and dished out 21 assists to just 12 for UC Santa Barbara.

SMU built a 41-26 lead at the half and extended it to 48-28 on a Brown jam with 16:52 left in the game. A Ben Emelogu 3-pointer five minutes later made it 63-34 and UC Santa Barbara never mounted a serious comeback.

Gabe Vincent led the Gauchos with 18 points. Eric Childress added 11.

SMU is back in action on Friday, Nov. 25 when the Mustangs travel to Los Angeles, Calif. to face USC. Tip-off Friday is set for 6:00 p.m. CT and the game will be televised on the Pac-12 Network.
