As the Southern Methodist University Mustangs prepare to face off against the Tulane Green Wave, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their upward trajectory. The upcoming game at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth promises to be a thrilling encounter, with both teams looking to assert dominance on the court.
The Mustangs have shown a consistent performance throughout the previous season, playing a total of four games. Their game average statistics reveal a team that is well-rounded and capable of holding its own. With an average of 63.5 points per game, they have demonstrated an ability to score effectively. Their assists average stands at 13.8 per game, indicating good ball movement and teamwork.

Defensively, they've been solid as well, averaging 15 personal fouls per game which shows aggressive but controlled play.
However, turnovers could be a point of concern for SMU as they've averaged over 12 turnovers per game last season; minimizing these will be key in keeping Tulane's scoring opportunities limited.
While field goal percentages from last season stand at zero due to data limitations, other metrics like free throws percentage being perfect show that when given opportunities at the line, SMU capitalizes fully.
