...Mustangs (6-4) sank 7-of-11 first half three-pointers, including a pair of back-to-back treys from guard Dez Willingham to give SMU a 48-21 advantage with 0:40 remaining in the opening frame. While the Mustangs showcased their athleticism with a bevy of alley-oops, finger rolls, and dunks, the Crimson played dead for the majority of the first half.
