Boopie Miller’s basket with 2.1 seconds left gave SMU a 79-77 win over California Baptist on Tuesday at the Acrisure Holiday Invitational after the Mustangs blew a 16-point second-half lead. The Lancers (4-3) rallied behind Kendal Coleman, who scored 25 of his career-high 32 points in the second half when they tied the game seven times, the final time on Dominique Daniels Jr.’s drive with 15.7 seconds left. Out of an SMU (5-2) timeout, Miller took the inbounds pass and worked the clock down before coming off a ball screen and putting in about a 10-foot floater.
