UNIVERSITY PARK -- SMU recovered from its 4-3 start by winning 10 straight games. The Mustangs are one victory shy of posting the third longest streak in program history.
But to nail that historical footnote, the Mustangs must snap a streak Thursday.
They play at Cincinnati, the only American Athletic Conference venue where they've never won since joining the league.
The opponent is the primary reason for SMU's dry spell in Cincy. The Bearcats have been to six straight NCAA tournaments. This time Cincinnati enters ranked No. 22.
It's a matchup of the American's two best teams and last unbeatens in league play.
