SMU will begin a new chapter in its rebuilding effort when it hosts Tarleton State on Monday night in Dallas in the teams' season-opening game. It will be the Mustangs' first contest with Andy Enfield as head coach and for SMU as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Eight transfers will join the Mustangs as they look to build on a first-round loss in the NIT that ended the 2023-24 season. The Mustangs finished 20-13 overall and 11-7 in American Athletic Conference play last season. SMU hired former Southern California coach Enfield in the offseason to employ his up-tempo attack and has been picked to finish 13th in the 18-team ACC preseason media poll.
