According to CBS Sports college basketball insider Jon Rothstein, SMU and Georgetown have agreed to a home-and-home series, which will begin with a game in Washington, D.C. in 2018 with a return game in Dallas during the 2019-20 season.

The Hoyas finished 15-15 overall and 5-13 in Big East play last season, the first year under new head coach Patrick Ewing.

The Mustangs are entering the third season under head coach Tim Jankovich. Under Jankovich, the Mustangs are 56-21 with a 38-5 mark at Moody Coliseum. The Mustangs won the 2017 American Athletic Conference regular season and tournament titles, reaching the NCAA Tournament.

In the past two seasons, the Mustangs have five wins over teams ranked in the top 15 of the Associated Press Poll.

The American Athletic Conference announced its 18-game schedule format for the 2018-19 men's basketball season earlier this month. SMU will play seven conference opponents twice: Cincinnati, Connecticut, Houston, Tulane, UCF, USF and Wichita State.

The Mustangs have one matchup with four league foes, hosting East Carolina and Tulsa, while making road trips to Memphis and Temple. The American Men's Basketball Championship is March 14-17 (Thursday to Sunday) at the FedExForum in Memphis, Tennessee.

In non-conference play, SMU is in the Cancun Challenge held at the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya Nov. 20-21. The Mustangs will face Bradley in the semifinal on Tuesday followed by Penn State or Wright State on Wednesday. The Mustangs open the Cancun Challenge with a pair of home games at Moody Coliseum versus Southern Miss on Nov. 11 and Western Carolina on Nov. 14.

SMU will have to replace Shake Milton, who left school after three seasons, is considered one of the more projectable players in the draft. He can help a team early because he can shoot, defend and play multiple positions. He did all of those from the moment he stepped on campus in 2015. His 3-point shooting stood out, as he made at least 40 percent of his 3s in every season at SMU.

The Mustangs will also have to replace Ben Emelogu, who graduated, and forward Akoy Agau, who will transfer to Louisville for his final season of eligibility after spending just one season as a Mustang.

The team returns players like Jarrey Foster, Jimmy Whitt and Jahmal McMurray to the team. Adding to the roster, transfer forward Isaiah Mike will be eligible after sitting out the 2017-18 season and 2018 signees Jahmar Young, Jr. and Feron Hunt get added to the fold. Chattanooga guard Nat Dixon graduated and transferred into the program after announcing his commitment last month.

SMU still has two scholarships available to fill, hosting graduate transfers and available 2018 prospects over the last couple months. Two more scholarships are vacated due to the NCAA sanctions, which will be completed after this season.
