DALLAS (SMU) – Ten of SMU's 18 American Athletic Conference games will be on ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU with at least 16 more on ESPN+, the league announced on Wednesday in advance of Monday's AAC Basketball Media Day.
Both matchups with Memphis are on ESPN (road Jan. 7, home Feb. 18). The Mustangs have six contests set for ESPN2, including The American opener at Moody Coliseum against Charlotte on Jan. 2. ESPN2 also has coverage of home games against Tulane (Feb. 1) and UAB (Feb. 4). The road-ESPN2 events are North Texas (Jan. 25), Wichita State (Jan. 28) and Florida Atlantic (Feb. 22). ESPNU will carry SMU at South Florida (Feb. 25). The Feb. 11 meeting with North Texas at Moody Coliseum will be on ESPN2 or ESPNU.
The non-conference schedule is highlighted by home games against Texas A&M (Nov. 14) and Dayton (Nov. 29), road match-ups with Arizona State (Dec. 6) and Florida State (Dec. 16, ACC Network) plus the Rocket Mortgage Fort Myers Tip-Off with West Virginia, Wisconsin and Virginia (Nov. 20-22, FS1).
SMU's AAC schedule includes five opponents twice: ECU, Memphis, North Texas, Tulane and UAB. SMU has home games only against Charlotte, Temple, Tulsa and UTSA, plus road games only versus Florida Atlantic, Rice, South Florida and Wichita State. The AAC Championship is March 13-17 (Wednesday-Sunday) at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth.
The Mustangs return three starters in
Zhuric Phelps,
Samuell Williamson and
Jalen Smith plus a transfer class ranked as high as No. 2 in The American for the second season under Head Coach
Rob Lanier. In August, the Mustangs went on a 10-day trip to Spain, going 3-0 with games in Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona.
