UNIVERSITY PARK -- The SMU men's basketball has had a reminder staring it in the face in the weight room this week.
Usually, the TVs feature SportsCenter or whatever show is on ESPN at the moment. But this week, SMU has been playing a slideshow featuring pictures of USC's celebration after beating the Mustangs 66-65 in the NCAA tournament in March, SMU's second loss to the Trojans in 2016-17.
Saturday night, SMU hosts the Trojans for the rematch.
It's an emotional game for SMU's three returning players, Ben Emelogu, Jarrey Foster and Shake Milton. It was Milton who took the potential game-winning shot against USC that missed its mark after a series of sloppy plays by the team in the final minute.
