MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE

Officially listed as questionable Edwards (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's First Four game against Miami (OH).

Impact Edwards is expected to contribute in the Mustangs' Tournament opener, and the questionable tag suggests a decision on the senior guard will be made closer to Wednesday's 9:15 p.m. ET tipoff. Edwards averaged a career-best 12.7 points per game in the regular season, so having him in the backcourt would be huge for SMU.

Expected to contribute Wednesday Edwards (ankle) is expected to help SMU in Wednesday's first-four game with Miami (OH), per Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News.

Impact Fortunately for SMU, the team is in the NCAA tournament, albeit from the first four against a Miami (OH) team that has lost only one game this season. Despite a formidable opponent on the way, SMU's team looks like it will be upgraded with an available Edwards, though he may not be 100 percent. Ideally, there is a clearer update on the probable Edwards' availability sometime before the First Four.

Available for NCAA tournament Edwards (ankle) will be available for the 2026 NCAA tournament, according to Pete Thamel of ESPN.

Impact After missing SMU's last five games with an ankle injury, Edwards will be sufficiently healthy to log at least one more matchup for this season's Mustangs, preferably in the NCAA tournament. The only problem is that they are not a lock for March Madness just yet, especially after the aforementioned five matchups got them only one win. The 1-4 span and Edwards' versatility showcase just how important he is to SMU success. In 28 games and starts this season, Edwards averaged 12.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 2.3 steals.

Impact The Mustangs cruised to an easy win over the Eagles on Saturday, but it was a true team effort since six SMU players scored in double digits. Edwards has been inconsistent of late, however, so this performance might be what he needs to get back on track. This was his first game with more than 15 points since Jan. 24, when he posted 19 points in a over win over Florida State.
