Mustangs Fall At Wichita State

WICHITA, Kan. (SMU) – The SMU women's basketball team suffered a road conference loss, falling 73-65 at Wichita State Wednesday night in the Charles Koch Arena.

A 7-0 run late in the first quarter propelled SMU to a 24-15 lead after the opening frame. The Mustangs held the Shockers to two points in the final three minutes of the opening quarter. The Mustangs (12-6, 3-3 American Athletic Conference) led 42-34 at the break.

After gaining its first lead of the night in the third quarter, Wichita State (12-7, 2-4 AAC) went on to outscore SMU 39-23 in the second half.

Savannah Wilkinson and Jasmine Smith each scored 17 points to lead the Mustangs. Wilkinson's 17 points (7-12 shooting) tied a season-high and earned her ninth double-digit scoring performance of the season while grabbing nine rebounds. Smith earned her 10th double-digit performance of the season and added three assists and two steals. Wilkinson and Smith were joined in double figures by Chantae Embry, who added 14 points, earning double figures for the 12th time this season.

SMU outshot Wichita State 28-26 from the field. The Mustangs made six free throws in eight attempts while Wichita State was 15-for-20 at the charity stripe.

The Mustangs return home to face Houston Saturday at 2 p.m. inside Moody Coliseum.

The Shockers were 1-4 going into this game and SMU lead most of the way. Not sure what to think about this team, I thought they were going to be a bit more improved this season and still taking some horrific beatings. Oh well, we still have the men's team.

Another tough road loss. It will be good to be back inside Moody Saturday.

I assume you're kidding with that last line? How long until spring football starts?

The women seem to be two entirely different teams at home and away. Losing to a bad Wichita State team, especially with Smith back in the lineup, is a bad loss.

You have HIGH expectations! They were a game under .500 last year. This season, the women are 13-6 while having had a lot of lost games due to injury this season. Smith still hasn't found the form she had before an injury kept her out for a couple weeks. To top it all, the American conference looks really tough this year too. Even ECU - dead last a year ago - are 3rd this year.
