College basketball • Hall of Fame coach Larry Brown has been hired by SMU.
The 71-year-old Brown says he's looking forward to the challenge with the Mustangs, who are moving from Conference USA to the much-tougher Big East Conference after next season. It is his first college job in nearly a quarter-century.
SMU hasn't won an NCAA Tournament game since 1988.
