UCF went into halftime up 29-26, but SMU was able to overtake the Knights in the second half, shooting 52 percent from the field.
The Mustangs held UCF to just 32.1 percent shooting.
Junior forward Kayli Keough led the Knights with 14 points while Aisha Patrick added nine points, eight rebounds and four assists in the loss.
