SMU's resume showcases a blend of impressive wins and tough losses that complicate their tournament prospects. Notable victories against teams like Virginia and LSU bolster their profile, demonstrating potential against quality opponents. However, the losses to Mississippi State and Butler are concerning, particularly since they were in competitive settings. Their defensive metrics raise red flags, especially after allowing over 80 points to Mississippi State. Upcoming games against Duke and North Carolina will be significant; strong performances or wins could significantly enhance their standing, while losses could dim their tournament hopes if they fail to secure wins against lesser opponents like Georgia Tech and Wake Forest. What they face now is a crucial stretch where consistency and resilience will determine their fate.
