Robert Nyakundi swished a baseline three-pointer with 1.1 seconds remaining to lift Southern Methodist to a win over Tulsa.

The shot came just moments after Justin Hurtt's three-point play gave the Hurricane a 58-56 lead with 8.8 seconds left.

It was the first time since the 2005-06 season that SMU has defeated the Golden Hurricane in C-USA action.

Southern Methodist defeated Southern Miss on Saturday night in what was a historic effort.

Mustangs coach Matt Doherty said the 79-65 win was "the best I've seen our team play against a quality opponent."

SMU posted the second-best field goal percentage in school history.

"Our offense is not a simple offense so it's going to get better," Doherty said. "Our defense requires a lot of communication and it's getting better. Hopefully we're just starting to scratch the surface."

They shot 69.8% from the field against Southern Miss in what became the second best field goal percentage scored in a C-USA game.

Former Texas guard/forward Shawn Williams is transferring to SMU.

Williams left the Longhorns just before the season started in November. He played in seven of the team's first eight games as a freshman in 2009 before injuring an ankle.

He enrolled at SMU on Tuesday but will have to sit out until the end of the fall semester in December.
