The ACC basketball season is heating up, and the Mustangs are ready to gallop into the spotlight! 🏀
Senior guard Boopie Miller is a star on the rise, earning a spot on the preseason All-ACC Second Team. But here's where it gets interesting: Miller received the highest vote total (27) among his peers, a testament to his exceptional talent and potential. The Mustangs, ranked sixth in the ACC, are in good company with powerhouse programs like Duke, Louisville, and North Carolina ahead of them.
Last season, Miller showcased his all-around game, averaging 13.2 points, 5.5 assists, 2.9 rebounds, and 1.6 steals, earning him a spot on the All-ACC Third Team. He delivered clutch performances, including a game-winning 3-pointer against Virginia, and was named MVP of the Acrisure Holiday Invitational.
SMU's Head Coach Andy Enfield is gearing up for his second season, and the team looks promising. With three returning starters, including the defensive stalwart B.J. Edwards, and a highly-ranked recruiting class, the Mustangs are poised for a strong campaign. They had a successful 2024-2025 season, finishing 24-11 overall and earning a top seed in the NIT.
And this is the part most fans are eager to see: the non-conference matchups. SMU will face off against four SEC teams, starting with Mississippi State and Vanderbilt, followed by Texas A&M and LSU. These games will be a true test of the Mustangs' mettle and a chance to make a statement early in the season.
The ACC schedule is packed with thrilling contests. The Mustangs will host ranked opponents like North Carolina, Virginia, and Louisville, while also hitting the road to face tough competition. The ACC Tournament, held in Charlotte, will be the ultimate showdown, where every team will strive to prove their dominance.
As the season approaches, the excitement builds. Will Miller and the Mustangs exceed expectations and challenge for the ACC title? Only time will tell. But one thing is certain: this team has the potential to make some noise in the college basketball world. Get ready for a thrilling ride, basketball fans!
