McMurray has been banged up recently and was recently late for a practice, which is why he only played six minutes Sunday against UCF,
Joseph Hoyt of the Dallas News reports.
ANALYSIS
It's possible the decision to bench McMurray for most of the contest cost SMU the win, as they only lost by six despite playing without their leading scorer for almost the entire game. Whether or not the benching bleeds into other matchups or was a one-time affair has yet to be determined, but he might be a risky play Wednesday at Temple if no news comes out regarding his playing time. CJ White saw a career-high 26 minutes Sunday as a result of McMurray's absence and could see it again Wednesday if the benching continues.
