Georgetown, SMU to begin a home-and-home this season

Per Jon Rothstein, the Hoyas will face the SMU Mustangs twice over the next two seasons. Georgetown will welcome the Mustangs to Capital One Arena in Washington D.C. this coming season, and then travel to Moody Arena in the greater Dallas area in 2019.

Over the last five seasons, SMU has been a very strong program. Although they went 17-16 last year, it was the first time they didn’t attain at least 25 wins since 2012-13. They averaged 27.25 wins from 2013-2017, with a 30-5 season in the 2016-17 campaign. They won the AAC in the 2015 and 2017 seasons, and the 2015 regular season title was the program’s first since they won the old Southwest Conference in 1993.
