Clash at Desert Financial Arena: SMU Mustangs Take on Arizona State Sun Devils

As the Southern Methodist University Mustangs prepare to face off against the Arizona State Sun Devils at Desert Financial Arena, fans can anticipate an exciting game of basketball. The Mustangs have been showing a strong performance trend in their recent games, which suggests they are coming into this matchup with momentum.

Looking back at their past three games, the Mustangs have demonstrated a solid offense and defense. They secured a commanding victory over Texas A&M-Commerce Lions with an impressive scoreline of 90 to 47. Their field goal percentage was remarkable at 69 percent, and they were particularly effective from beyond the arc, hitting 53 percent of their three-point attempts. Additionally, their assist-to-turnover ratio stood out at 1.73.

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for SMU as they faced a narrow defeat against the Dayton Flyers with a close score of 63 to 65. Despite losing by just two points, their shooting from distance dropped to around 23 percent – something they'll be looking to improve upon in the upcoming game.

The team bounced back against Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks with a solid win scoring 70 points to ULM's 57. The Mustangs showed consistency in free throw accuracy with approximately a 72 percent success rate and maintained good control over turnovers.

Desert Financial Arena will present its own challenges as an away venue for SMU; however, if they continue leveraging their strengths such as high field goal percentages and maintaining low turnovers while improving on weak spots like three-point shooting consistency shown in past performances – there is potential for another strong showing.

Fans can catch this thrilling encounter scheduled for December 7th at 3:00 AM UTC (December 6th local time). The game will be broadcasted nationally on Fox Sports 1 (channel number:219), ensuring that supporters won't miss any action from Tempe's electrifying atmosphere.
