Hepburn, a senior transfer from Wisconsin, opened the game with a 3 as the Cardinals never trailed and built a 32-point lead.
SMU: The Mustangs were coming off a 117-74 win at Miami, but are 0-2 at home against ranked ACC teams in coach Andy Enfield’s first season. They lost 89-62 to Duke, which is up to No. 2.
