SMU Men’s Basketball is off to a hot start this season. The undefeated team topped Northwestern State 77-51 Tuesday night in Moody Coliseum.

Although junior Ethan Chargois is still out with an ankle injury, the squad this season is filled with tons of weapons that get the job done. Everett Ray started for the Mustangs in Chargois’ absence.

Kendric Davis opened up the game for SMU with a jump shot in the first second of the match. The team took a commanding lead in the first half, ending with a 7-point run putting them up by 18 points at half time. Northwestern State did not help themselves in the first half by turning the ball over 10 times and only completing 6 of their 24 field goal attempts. SMU also snagged 9 more rebounds than the Demons.
