LAS VEGAS -- Larry Brown returned from a nine-game suspension and No. 18 SMU remained unbeaten with a 90-74 win over Kent State on Tuesday night in the Las Vegas Classic.
Brown was suspended after the NCAA ruled in September that a former men's basketball administrative assistant completed online course work for a student to meet eligibility requirements. He received warm applause before the game from SMU fans making the trip while walking onto the court for the first time since last March's NCAA Tournament.
Nic Moore scored 25 points and Keith Frazier added 19 and 10 rebounds to lead SMU (10-0).
