Still with two months remaining before the NCAA Tournament, SMU is already through the most challenging part of its 2025-26 schedule. After facing three ranked opponents already this month, SMU has just two matchups left on its schedule against teams currently in the AP top 25 — a pair of games against No.

SMU faces the NC State Wolfpack after Kevin Miller scored 20 points in SMU's 88-74 loss to the Louisville Cardinals.

No. 20 Louisville rallied from a 47-44 halftime deficit with tight defense to outlast SMU 88-74 at home. After SMU shot 59.4% before halftime to grab the lead, Louisville held the Mustangs to 36.7% in the second half (11-for-30) and took control with a key run.

The Mustangs jumped out to an early double-digit lead, but the Cardinals responded and rolled to a 14-point win.
