MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Sterling Brown scored 14 points to help No. 24 SMU shake off pesky Memphis in a 69-62 victory Thursday night.
SMU leading scorer Nic Moore was held without a point in the first half, but his floater with less than a minute to play gave the Mustangs (23-4, 1-4 American Athletic Conference) a 65-62 lead. Moore finished with 12 points on 4-of-9 shooting.
Memphis led 57-56 until Shake Milton hit a 3-pointer and Brown a pair of free throws for a four-point SMU advantage.
Jeremiah Martin missed a corner shot that would have given Memphis a lead with less than a minute to go before Moore hit his floater. With his team leading 65-62, Moore stole the ball and Brown drew an intentional foul and made two from the line.
SMU is back in action Sunday, Feb. 28 when the Mustangs host Tulane at Moody Coliseum. Tipoff is slated for 2:00 p.m. CT and the game will be televised on CBS Sports Network. Tickets are available online at smumustangs.com/tickets or by calling 214-768-4263.
