The SMU-TCU rivalry has been renewed, according to the TCU Athletics website, where the matchup is listed for December 5 in Dallas at Moody Coliseum. TV and gametime information was listed as TBA.

SMU leads the series 106-86 and until last season, had won the last five games of the series. When the two teams meet, it will be exactly a year removed from the Horned Frogs beating the Mustangs, 94-83, in Fort Worth.

Kenrich Williams was dominant for TCU, scoring a game-high 27 points on just eight shots. He also chipped in nine rebounds and five assists. Ethan Chargois was SMU's best offensive weapon. He scored 13 in the first half en route to a 21-point night. He also grabbed seven rebounds. Each SMU starter finished with double digit points, but the bench scored just three.

TCU has seen a resurgence, landing in preseason top 25 polls around the country after last year's NCAA Tournament appearance. SMU is coming off its worst season 2012-13.

"I think it's great," Jankovich said ahead of last season's game. "The better the basketball in our city from pro level to college level to high school, the better the basketball the better for all of us in it."

The American Athletic Conference announced its 18-game schedule format for the 2018-19 men's basketball season on Thursday. 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-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.

The tournament's full field is eight teams. The other four are Jacksonville State, North Florida, Southern Mississippi and Western Carolina. Each of the main four will host two of those for home games before traveling to Cancun to play each other. Each of Penn State, Bradley and Wright State finished with an RPI between 75 and 110 last season and won 20 games. SMU, meanwhile, went 17-16 due to a 2-9 finish and finished with an RPI of 110.

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.
