SMU does hold an all-time 6-5 edge in tournament play: 2-1 in NCAA Tournament, 4-3 in SWC Tournament, 0-1 in the C-USA Tournament and 0-1 in The American Tournament. The two met in the last SWC Tournament at Reunion Arena in Dallas with SMU notching a 62-57 win over the Cougars in 1996. The Ponies won NCAA Regional matchups in 1956 and 1965, but lost in 1967. The eighth-ranked Mustangs won 89-76 over 17th-ranked Houston in the 1956 NCAA Tournament. SMU eventually advanced to the 1956 Final Four.

The Mustangs have had at least four double-digit scorers in 16 of 19 games (7 of 8 AAC games). The offense is averaging 17.9 assists (1st AAC, 10th NCAA) and has a 1.47 assist-to-turnover ratio (1st AAC, 27th NCAA). Senior Nic Moore leads SMU in scoring (15.3, 5th AAC) and assists (5.1, 1st AAC) with a 2.5 assist-to-turnover ratio (4th AAC).

 

The Mustangs have outrebounded 15 of 19 opponents and leads the AAC with a +11.4 rebound margin (4th NCAA). SMU has been at least +10 in 11 games. Jordan Tolbert leads SMU at 9.2 rebounds (1st AAC, 47th NCAA) with Ben Moore next at 7.3 (9th AC) and Markus Kennedy at 5.6 (18th AAC).

SMU also leads The American in offensive rebound percentage (.433) and is second in defensive rebound percentage (.709).
