2023-24 AAC Men's Basketball Schedule Announced

DALLAS (SMU) – SMU's 2023-24 men's basketball slate was finalized on Wednesday when the American Athletic Conference announced its 18-game league schedule. The Mustangs open league play at Moody Coliseum against Charlotte on Jan. 2 and finish at UAB on March 10.

SMU will play five AAC opponents twice: ECU, Memphis, North Texas, Tulane and UAB. The Mustangs will play home games only against Charlotte, Temple, Tulsa and UTSA, and play road games only versus Florida Atlantic, Rice, South Florida and Wichita State. The American Men's Basketball Championship is March 13-17 (Wednesday-Sunday) at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth.

Tip times and television designations will be announced at a later date.

The non-conference schedule is highlighted by home games against Dayton and Texas A&M, road match-ups with Arizona State and Florida State plus the Rocket Mortgage Fort Myers Tip-Off with West Virginia, Wisconsin and Virginia.

The second season under Head Coach Rob Lanier opens with a four-game homestand at Moody Coliseum that concludes with Texas A&M on Nov. 14. After Thanksgiving, the Mustangs host three straight, including Dayton Nov. 29 before road games at Arizona State Dec. 6 and Florida State on Dec. 16.

The Mustangs return three starters in Zhuric Phelps, Samuell Williamson and Jalen Smith plus a transfer class ranked as high as No. 2 in The American. In August, the Mustangs went on a 10-day trip to Spain, going 3-0 with games in Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona.

SMU picked to finish 7th in the AAC this year and Phelps is the only guy mentioned for all-conference honors in the coaches pre-season poll. Just have to hope the transfers surprise our opposing coaches and that this season goes much better for SMU than they expect
