2026 Tournament PreviewSMU lost five of its last six, but the committee gave this bubble team a break, likely because key contributor B.J. Edwards (12.7 ppg, 5.9 rpg, 4.9 apg) was injured for all five losses. Edwards, who shoots 37.2 percent from three-point range, is expected to return for SMU's tournament opener, re-joining a backcourt of fellow seniors Boopie Miller (19.2 ppg, 6.4 apg) and Jaron Pierre (17.6 ppg, 4.9 rpg) in a rotation that ranks fifth nationally in D-1 experience, per KenPom. Like Edwards, Miller (41.0 percent) and Pierre (37.2 percent) drain from outside, as the Mustangs are top 25 in three-point percentage (37.4) and 27th in offensive efficiency (per KenPom). Despite interior size in 7-2 sophomore Samet Yigitoglu (10.8 ppg, 7.9 rpg) and 6-10 freshman Jaden Toombs (7.8 ppg, 4.3 rpg), the young frontcourt struggles on the defensive glass, ranking 229th in rebounding rate. With four Quad 1 wins, no bad losses and nine of 13 defeats in the top Quad, a healthy SMU is formidable.
