LAST GAME (L, 79-78 at Syracuse on Feb. 14): SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) -- Donnie Freeman scored 18 points, Nate Kingz had 13 and the game‑winning layup with two seconds remaining, and Syracuse edged SMU 79–78 on Saturday. Syracuse (15–11, 6–7 ACC) trailed 61-49 with just over 12 minutes left and spent most of the second half playing from behind. Kingz capped the comeback by driving the lane and finishing through traffic after Syracuse secured a defensive rebound and called a timeout with 13 seconds left. Tyler Betsey's 3-pointer with 3:50 remaining pulled Syracuse within 76-75, and Naithan George added a layup on the next possession. SMU (17–8, 6–6) missed two free throws and four straight field goals in the final 90 seconds, leaving the door open for Syracuse's final possession. Freeman blocked four shots for the Orange, while George added 16 points and six assists. Betsey and Kiyan Anthony each finished with 13 off the bench, with Anthony hitting three second‑half 3-pointers. Syracuse shot 45% from the field and made 11 3s. Jaden Toombs led SMU with 19 points and five rebounds off the bench, and Corey Washington added 13 points and nine boards. Jaron Pierre Jr. scored 12, and Boopie Miller had 11, as the two combined for five made 3-pointers. The Mustangs went 13 of 17 at the line but had two crucial misses in the closing minute.

SERIES VS LOUISVILLE (2-10): This is the 13th meeting between the two programs. Louisville has won the first two matchups as ACC foes and had previoulsy won both meetings as American Athletic Conference opponents in 2013-14. The series started with an 83-81 SMU win in the 1967 NCAA Midwest Regional. The two schools exchanged three home-and-homes from 1968-69 to 1971-72 and again in 1983-84 and 1984-85, with the Mustangs getting the win on Feb. 15, 1985 when No. 9 SMU defeated No. 19 Louisville 72-64 in a CBS-televised matchup. SMU's upset over No. 2 Louisville in the 1967 NCAA Midwest Regional (Lawrence, Kan.) is tied for the highest ranked opponent that SMU has defeated.

LAST GAME VS LOUISVILLE (L, 88-74 at [20/20] Louisville on Jan. 31): LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- Mikel Brown Jr. scored 20 points off the bench, Isaac McKneely added 14 and No. 20 Louisville used a 10-0 second-half run to rally past SMU 88-74. The Cardinals overcame a cold start and 47-44 halftime deficit to take their first lead at 55-53 on Kobe Rodgers' transition layup with 14:37 remaining. SMU eventually went ahead 62-61, but Aly Khalifa (eight points) scored five during their pivotal spurt. Mustangs guard Boopie Miller had 20 points. Louisville won behind 52% shooting after halftime and 49% overall. The Cardinals' bench provided the biggest boost, dominating the Mustangs 47-5 while holding them to 37% shooting in the second half. Brown made 7 of 14 from the field with three 3-pointers, and also had three rebounds and four assists. McKneely made 5 of 10 with four 3s, Khani Rooths and Ryan Conwell added 12 points and J'Vonne Hadley had 10. SMU made 4 of its first 5 3s and 5 of 9 shots overall for a 14-4 lead and 47-44 advantage at the break behind 59% shooting. Louisville overcame a 4-of-12 shooting start to close the first half 13 of 24.

A PLACE IN THE POLL: The Mustangs have at least received votes in eight of the past 13 weeks. In the Jan. 5 polls, SMU was No. 24 in the AP Top 25 and No. 25 in the USA Today Coaches Poll.

HEAD COACH ANDY ENFIELD... is in his second season at SMU after being named SMU's Head Men's Basketball on April 1, 2024. In his first season on the Hilltop, he led the Mustangs to a 24-11 overall record and earned a No. 1 seed in the NIT. The Mustangs went 13-7 in the program's inaugural season in the ACC to tie for fourth. SMU signed the nation's fourth-ranked high school recruiting class, which is the best in program history. 

Enfield burst onto the coaching scene in 2013 when, in his second year as a head coach, he guided Florida Gulf Coast to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. Following that success, he was hired by the Southern California (USC), where he led the Trojans to five NCAA Tournaments, including a run to the Elite Eight in 2021. He came to SMU after 11 seasons at USC, where he compiled a 220-147 record. The Trojans set a school single-season win record and posted the most wins in program history over two-year, three-year, four-year, five-year, six-year, seven-year and eight-year periods. Enfield's 220 wins ranks third on USC's all-time wins list. 

Over his final seven seasons at USC, the Trojans had eight players selected in the NBA Draft, tied for the fifth-most by any program in the country, with Evan Mobley going No. 3 overall in the 2021 NBA Draft and Onyeka Okongwu being selected No. 6 in the 2020 Draft. USC was one of three teams to have had at least one player selected in six of the last seven NBA Drafts. In total, 11 players during Enfield's time at USC have made the NBA.

DAVID B. MILLER COURT: On Dec. 5, 2018, SMU named the Moody Coliseum court after David B. Miller, alumnus and current chair of the Board of Trustees. He was a three-year starter on the basketball team and a member of the 1971-72 Southwest Conference Co-Championship team. Throughout his lifetime, Mr. Miller and his wife, Carolyn Lacy Miller, have committed over $100 million to SMU, including more than $50 million to the Cox School of Business, $20 million toward the expansion and renovation of Moody Coliseum and $10 million to the ACC Competitiveness Campaign as a member of the First Week Society.
