SMU Game Thread

SMU (15-4, 5-2 AAC, NET #60) enters Tuesday's match-up on the strength of a 3-game winning streak that most recently saw the Mustangs pull off a remarkable upset @Memphis where SMU went on a 15-0 run over the final 6 minutes of the game to secure a 74-70 win.

Regardless of whether SMU makes the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2017 or not, 5th-year coach Tim Jankovich will surely be encouraged with the future of his roster considering they do not feature a single senior.

They currently boast the top offense in the AAC and are ranked 13th nationally per KenPom. They shoot the ball well from every spot on the court, don't foul a lot, and have the 2nd best rebounding margin in the AAC (19th nationally).

While not an amazing 3-point shooting team, they typically have 5 players on the court who can shoot the ball from deep. Their two starting "bigs" Isiaha Mike and Ethan Chargois combine for 9 3s per game and shoot at a combined 38% clip.

Despite our current 6-game winning streak over them, they played us tight home and away last season, and I expect it will take a very strong effort on both ends of the court to win.
