• Leading scorer Erik Stevenson has lost 2.5 points off his season scoring average since the start of conference play, thanks in part to scoring single-digits in 10 of the 15 contests. Junior Trey Wade, who hadn’t scored more than 11 points since November, was inserted back in the starting lineup against Temple and responded by dropping a career-high 21 points on 89 percent field goal shooting. Senior center Jaime Echenique has produced back to back double-doubles, averaging 12 points and 12.5 rebounds in that span and has reached double figures in the last four games.

• In addition to leading the team with 15 points per game, sophomore guard Kendric Davis leads the AAC with 6.9 assists per game, seventh-best in the nation. Junior Tyson Jolly is averaging 16.8 points in his last four games and has shot over 90 percent from the free-throw line in that span, well above his season average of 78.8 percent. Sophomore forward Feron Hunt has struggled the last three games, failing to score five points, including a scoreless effort against Tulane, making just two shots in that time.

• SMU is 12-0 when holding opponents below 40 percent field goal shooting.
