SMU vs. Cal: How to watch, channel, stream, spread
The SMU Mustangs take on the Cal Golden Bears on Wednesday at 8 p.m. CT in Moody Coliseum on ACC Network. The Mustangs are looking to build off a tight win at NC State over the weekend.
The Mustangs were able to grab a 63-57 win over the Wolfpack on Saturday. It was a much-needed bounce back performance after a tough showing vs. Louisville.
“Our team had two really good practices before the NC State game on the road,” SMU head coach Andy Enfield said this week. “We did not play well against Louisville at home. They played extremely well and proud of our guys for coming back and playing so hard in practice and then it carried over in a game to hold a team at under home court to 57 points. I thought our players individually and collectively as a team played really hard defensively the entire game.”
