SMU (13-13, 5-9 AAC, NET 109) is coming off their worst lost in program history which came at the hands of UCF on Sunday. During the 95-48 massacre, SMU shot 25% from the field, 22% from 3, and did not produce a single double-digit scorer, while losing the rebound battle 58-35. Perhaps the most remarkable statistic is that SMU only committed 4 turnovers on the day. The performance marked a stark contrast from what transpired at Moody 3 days prior, where SMU shot 57% from the field, 53% from 3, and went 13-15 from the line in a 77-59 blowout of UConn.

It still hasn't been a month since SMU visited Fifth Third and had two separate possessions in the final 20 seconds where they could've tied the game, but ultimately fell short. That loss was the second of what would end up being 5 in a row for the Mustangs where the average loss was only by 4 points.

Through 14 conference games, SMU has committed the least amount of turnovers of any team in the league at just over 10 per game. They also have attempted the most 3s (just under 26/game) but only shoot the ball at a 32% clip (they shot 36% in Cincy).

We won by 25 at Moody last season so hopefully we can channel that same performance to beat a team that is likely discouraged, tired, and has already lost 6 times at home this season.
