SMU at Virginia: How to watch, channel, stream, spread
SMU begins a two-game road trip at Virginia on Wednesday at 8 p.m. CT on ACC Network before playing at Miami on Saturday. Up first though is that rematch from earlier this season when the Mustangs beat the Cavaliers, 63-51, in Dallas on Dec. 7 in SMU’s first ACC game in history.
Despite UVA struggling as of late under interim coach Ron Sanchez, who replaced Tony Bennett shortly before the season, SMU head coach Andy Enfield is ready for a challenge.
“Virginia’s coming off a long road trip to the West Coast so they’ll play extremely hard,” Enfield said. “We have to be prepared for their physicality because they’re so tough defensively. We have seen each other about a month ago or a little over a month ago. So there’ll be some familiarity on both sides.”
