DALLAS (AP) Boopie Miller scored 14 points, Samet Yigitoglu had a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds, and SMU Mustangs pulled away late to beat Texas A&M Corpus Christi 69-58 on Thursday night.
SMU led 49-38 midway through the second half before Sheldon Williams scored seven points during Texas A&M CC's 15-4 run that tied it 53-all with 4:19 remaining. Then the Mustangs closed on a 16-5 run, with Jaron Pierre Jr. making a 3-pointer and a pair of free throws, to seal it.
Miller shot just 2 of 14 from the floor but made 10 of 12 free throws to go with six assists. Corey Washington added 13 points and Pierre finished with 12 points for SMU (1-1).
Williams scored 14 points and grabbed 17 rebounds to lead Texas A&M Corpus Christi (1-1), which shot 29% (19 of 66) from the floor but hit eight buckets from long range. Kam Parker chipped in with 12 points.
The Islanders led for most of the first half until a pair of Miller free throws tied it a 25-all with 5:04 to play. Yigitoglu scored 10 first-half points for the Mustangs to help go ahead 32-28.
SMU continues its seven game homestand on Tuesday against Murray State.
