And after SMU made another loud statement, 80-67, over LSU on Monday night, the Mustangs will play another game.
SMU (25-9), the No. 1 seeded team in the National Invitation Tournament, moved on to the quarterfinal round. The Mustangs will play California on Wednesday at Moody Coliseum.
This one might have played to a different outcome if not played at Moody. The overflow crowd of 7,021 played a major role in SMU overcoming a 10-point deficit in the first half.
