Five coaches who aren’t getting enough credit
Tim Jankovich, SMU: Who says you don’t want to be the guy who follows the guy? Jankovich has the Ponies at 20-4 in their first season post Larry Brown.
Five off-the-radar teams that could reach the Sweet 16 with the right matchup
SMU: The best one-two punch in college basketball that nobody knows about is the Ponies’ combo of Shake Milton and Semi Ojeleye. Milton — a former top-40 recruit — and Ojeleye — a transfer from Duke — each have the star power to take over a game in the NCAA Tournament and immediately become a national name. SMU has only seven scholarship players in its rotation, but the Ponies are a unique matchup because every player in their rotation essentially stands between 6-4 and 6-8 and can switch every ball screen on defense. The Ponies’ interchangeable pieces and commitment to stopping the opponent make them an intriguing unit to track.
