Men’s basketball 2018-19 preview

SMU men’s basketball plays its opener Thursday against Northwestern State, beginning a 2018-19 campaign that the team hopes is different from last year’s. The Mustangs finished 17-16 last season, falling into a tailspin after losing Shake Milton and Jarrey Foster to injuries.

This year Tim Jankovich will look to lead the team back to the form of two years ago, when the Mustangs won the American Athletic Conference and made the NCAA Tournament. There are few proven entities on this year’s roster, but the team has talent. Let’s take a look at how the roster breaks down.

Who they lost: G Shake Milton, G Ben Emelogu, F Akoy Agau, G Elijah Landrum
