FORT WORTH, Texas (SMU) - SMU couldn't overcome a hot shooting performance by TCU on Tuesday night, falling on the road against the Horned Frogs, 94-83.

Freshman Ethan Chargois led the Mustangs (7-3) on the offensive end of the court, scoring 21 points on 8-for-13 shooting while also grabbing a team-high six rebounds. All five starters finished the game in double-figures for SMU. Junior Shake Milton, who served as primary ball-handler with Whitt missing time with foul trouble, led the Mustangs with nine assists.

The Mustangs put together an efficient game offensively, finishing above 50 percent from the field with 20 assists on 30 baskets. Much of that work was done inside, with SMU finishing with 46 points in the paint compared to TCU's 24.

The difference in the game was TCU's hot offense. Despite SMU often getting out to contest the attempts, the Horned Frogs (9-0) hit shot after shot from beyond-the-arc to keep the lead for the majority of the game. TCU shot 50 percent from deep, making 12-of-24 shots. Comparatively, SMU only knocked down 6-of-21 attempts from 3-point range.

The Horned Frogs also were on from the free-throw line, hitting 30 shots from the charity stripe on 37 attempts (81 percent).

The win snapped a five-game losing streak for TCU against the Mustangs.

SMU is back home at Moody Coliseum on December 13, facing off with New Orleans at 7 p.m.
