As the Southern Methodist University Mustangs prepare to face off against the Wichita State Shockers, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be a thrilling encounter at Charles Koch Arena. The Mustangs, coming off a decisive 81-73 victory over the Memphis Tigers on February 3rd, have shown that they can dominate both ends of the court. With an impressive field goal percentage of 62 and converting 73 percent from the free-throw line in their last home game, SMU has proven their offensive prowess.

The Mustangs' performance against Tulane's Green Wave on February 15th further solidified their reputation as a formidable force. Despite scoring only 63 points, they managed to keep Tulane at bay with just 53 points, showcasing their defensive capabilities. Their ability to control the paint was evident with a staggering 42 points scored inside and an additional contribution of second-chance points totaling 20.

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for SMU in recent outings. A setback occurred during their visit to North Texas Mean Green on February 10th where they fell short by scoring only 65 points against North Texas' overwhelming offense that put up an impressive total of 78 points. This loss highlighted areas that needed improvement such as three-point shooting accuracy which stood at a mere fifteen percent.

Despite this hiccup, there is reason for optimism among SMU fans as they look ahead to their next challenge. The team has consistently demonstrated resilience and adaptability throughout the season. They have been particularly effective in leveraging turnovers into scoring opportunities – a trend likely beneficial when facing Wichita State.

The Shockers will not make it easy though; playing at home always provides an edge and Wichita State is known for its tenacious defense and strategic gameplay which could disrupt SMU's rhythm.

As we approach game day scheduled for February 28th at six o'clock in the evening (Central Time), all eyes will be on how these two teams match up strategically and whether SMU can carry forward its momentum from previous victories or if Wichita State will leverage home-court advantage to halt them in their tracks.

Fans eager not to miss this clash can catch all the action live from Charles Koch Arena or tune into broadcasts covering this highly anticipated matchup between two competitive teams vying for supremacy on court.
