As SMU basketball enters its first season as a member of the ACC, the Mustangs added a new nonconference opponent to their schedule for next season.
SMU will host Mississippi State at Moody Coliseum on Nov. 22 to kickoff a home-and-home series, the program announced on Thursday. SMU will visit Humphrey Coliseum during the 2025-26 season to complete the series with Mississippi State.
Next season will be SMU’s first under new head coach Andy Enfield, whom the university hired away from USC in the spring. The Mustangs are coming off a 20-13 season that included an NIT bid.
Mississippi State, led by head coach Chris Jans, earned an NCAA Tournament bid last year after going 21-14. The Bulldogs lost to Michigan State in the first round.
The ACC announced SMU’s home and away conference opponents for this season last March. Along with Mississippi State, Duke, Louisville, Syracuse and Wake Forest are among the other schools visiting Moody Coliseum this year.
