SMU Announces 2024-2025 Non-Conference Schedule

DALLAS (SMU) – The non-conference schedule for the 2024-25 SMU Men's Basketball Team is set, Head Coach Andy Enfield announced Thursday. The Mustangs' inaugural season in the ACC will see SMU play an 11-game non-conference schedule that includes seven teams that made the postseason last year.

A home matchup with Mississippi State, a neutral-site game in DFW versus LSU, a road game at Butler and two games in the Acrisure Holiday Invitational highlight the non-conference slate.

The Mustangs visit Butler on Nov. 15, starting a home-and-home that includes a game at Moody Coliseum in 2025-26. Mississippi State visits Moody Coliseum a week later on Nov. 22, which is also the start of a home-and-home where SMU visits Starkville in 2025-26. The Acrisure Holiday Invitational is Nov. 26-27 in Palm Springs, California, with Washington State, Fresno State and Cal Baptist. SMU faces LSU at a neutral site in DFW on Dec. 14, beginning a two-game neutral-site series that includes a game in New Orleans in 2025-26.

Mississippi State, Washington State and Longwood made NCAA tournament appearances last season while Butler and LSU were in the NIT. Tarleton State and Alabama A&M also earned CIT bids while UNC Greensboro was a 21-win team last season.

Head coach Andy Enfield took the helm of the SMU program following 11 seasons at USC, where he led the Trojans to five of the last eight NCAA Tournaments, including a run to the Elite Eight in 2021.

SMU's inaugural season in the ACC includes home games with Cal, Clemson, Duke, Georgia Tech, Louisville, Pitt, Stanford, Syracuse, Virginia and Wake Forest. With games like this set for Moody, it should come as no surprise that tickets are selling fast.

On the heels of a school-record eight-championship season and set for its inaugural season in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), SMU is riding a surge of momentum heading into 2024-25.
