SMU vs PITT Preview
Last Meeting ( Feb 11, 2025 ) Pittsburgh 63, SMU 83
SMU needs to avoid jeopardizing its NCAA Tournament hopes as it visits Pitt for an Atlantic Coast Conference clash on Saturday afternoon.
The Mustangs (15-7, 4-5 ACC) have dropped two in a row with a loss at Louisville and a tough 84-83 setback at home to North Carolina State on Tuesday night.
The Mustangs sit 34th in the NCAA's NET rankings, but know they need to get back on track and avoid what could be a damaging loss to Pitt (9-14, 2-8 ACC), which has also lost two in a row and has a NET ranking of 114.
Boopie Miller, SMU's leading scorer at 19.1 points per game, scored 14 points against the Wolfpack, but his game-winning attempt in the closing seconds was blocked, sealing the Mustangs' defeat.
"The league is certainly better this year," SMU coach Andy Enfield said of the depth of the ACC. "More quality teams from top to bottom, meaning on a national scale, some of these teams, including SMU, won big out-of-conference games in November and early December... So every game we play now is a pretty important game for us on the regional and league scale, but also nationally."
The Panthers, who are led by Brandin Cummings (12.5 points per game) and Cameron Corhen (12.1), find themselves in the conference's cellar, tied with Notre Dame and Georgia Tech heading into the weekend. Pitt is looking for more consistent play that can lead to wins instead of just valiant efforts.
Lack of depth and size have hurt Pitt as well as other factors, such as poor free-throw shooting (66.1%) and turnovers. The Panthers committed 17 turnovers in their most recent loss, 67-47 at Virginia, and surrendered 13 offensive rebounds.
Pitt athletic director Allen Greene recently spoke to the media about Pitt's disappointing season, which could foreshadow changes ahead if there's no noticeable improvement.
"We have high expectations for our men's basketball program, and we haven't lived up to those expectations this year," Greene said. "Obviously, Coach (Capel) knows that, the staff is aware of that, the players are aware of that. They want more out of what we got going on, and I know they're working their tails off to try to fix it."
