SMU vs SYR Preview
Last Meeting ( Mar 12, 2025 ) Syracuse 53, SMU 73
SMU takes its varied offensive attack on the road as it looks to build its resume for the postseason when it plays against host Syracuse on Saturday afternoon in an Atlantic Coast Conference game.
It's the first time the teams will square off in Syracuse after SMU defeated the Orange twice last season -- once at home and again on a neutral floor in the ACC tournament -- in the only other contests between the programs.
The Mustangs (17-7, 6-5 ACC) head to central New York after an 89-81 home win over Notre Dame on Tuesday. Boopie Miller and Jaron Pierre Jr. traded off bell-cow duties in the game, with Pierre scoring 18 of his team-leading 22 points in the second half after Miller racked up 18 of his 20 before halftime.
"That's how it's got to be every game," Miller said. "If I'm off, Jaron got to pick it up. And if he's off, I've got to pick it up. So that's how it's going to be for the rest of the season. We've just got to keep bringing guys along so we can keep winning."
Corey Washington added 14 points and Samet Yigitoglu racked up 11 points and 10 rebounds in the victory for SMU, which has captured back-to-back games and is back on track for an at-large spot in the NCAA Tournament.
The Mustangs are a No. 9 seed in ESPN's latest bracketology update posted on Friday.
Syracuse (14-11, 5-7) beat Cal 107-100 at home in double overtime in its most recent outing, getting 27 points from Nate Kingz and 15 points and a career-high 16 rebounds from William Kyle III before he was forced from the game with leg cramps in the second extra period.
J.J. Starling scored 21 points and collected a season-high four steals for the Orange, who snapped a two-game losing streak and produced their second victory in a stretch of eight games. Donnie Freeman (16 points), Naithan George (14) and Sadiq White Jr. (10) all also scored in double figures.
"One thing you can't question is this team's fight," Syracuse coach Adrian Autry said. "This team fights every game. They don't give up. And you know, that's what we're gonna keep doing until we can't fight anymore."
