SMU MUSTANGS NEWS

Boopie Miller - Double-doubles vs. Butler Miller racked up 23 points (9-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound, 12 assists and three steals across 37 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 87-85 win over Butler.

Impact Miller not only led the Mustangs in scoring with an efficient 23-point performance, but he also stood out with his 12 assists. This was the third time Miller reached the 20-point mark in four appearances this season, but he's doing more than just scoring, as he's also dished out at least five assists in each of his appearances so far. Through four contests, Miller is averaging 21.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 2.0 steals per game. It's still and mostly against mid-level opponents, but Miller is enjoying a career-best start to the campaign.

Jaron Pierre - High volume as starter Pierre accumulated 19 points (5-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 25 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 102-91 win over Murray...

Impact Pierre had been serving as the sixth-man for SMU to start the season, but he consistently produced, putting up 21 and 12 points in the first two games. He entered the starting five in place of Sam Walters on Tuesday and ended up taking the second-most field-goal attempts on the team on a night in which all five starters reached double figures. The rest-of-season outlook is overwhelmingly positive for the fifth-year senior, who had already appeared in 118 collegiate games heading into his final season at SMU -- his first in a Power Five conference.

Boopie Miller - Pours in an efficient 28 Miller registered 28 points (9-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 102-91 win over Murray State.

Impact Miller wasn't sharp from the field in a Nov. 6 matchups against Texas A&M-CC, going just 2-for-14, but he made up for it at the charity stripe. The senior followed that up with a much better shooting day Tuesday en route to a season-best scoring total, while also chipping in season highs in rebounding and steals. It's a small sample size against mid-major opponents, but Miller is currently on pace for career-best averages in scoring (20.7 ppg) and assists (5.7 apg). That likely slows down in conference play, but for now, fantasy managers should be taking advantage of these opportunities to rack up counting stats. It may even have a chance to continue given he's shooting a career-best 90.3 percent from the free-throw line and has racked up a combined 31 attempts in only three games.

Corey Washington - Records double-double Washington finished Tuesday's 102-91 win over Murray State with 17 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 30 minutes.

Impact Even though Boopie Miller led the way for SMU with an impressive 28-point performance, Washington also made his presence felt while notching his first double-double of the campaign. The Wichita State transfer has done a good job of handling his move to the ACC, scoring in double digits in each of his first three outings while also averaging 7.7 rebounds per contest.

Boopie Miller - Goes for 14 points Miller posted 14 points (2-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 10-12 FT), four rebounds, six assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Thursday's 69-58 victory over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.

Impact Miller had an atrocious shooting performance after missing 12 of his 14 shots, but the fact that he went 10-for-12 at the charity stripe saved his day. Miller should be one of SMU's top offensive weapons alongside B.J. Edwards.

Samet Yigitoglu - Posts double-double Yigitoglu amassed 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 31 minutes during Thursday's 69-58 victory over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.

Impact Even though Corey Washington and Boopie Miller led the offense for SMU in this one, it's worth noting that Yigitoglu posted a complete stat line. Yigitoglu made his presence felt on both ends of the court and should continue to be one of the Mustangs' most reliable two-way forces every time he steps on the hardwood.

Impact Edwards struggled a bit with his three-point shot in the opener, as he missed four of his six attempts from beyond the arc, but he was excellent the rest of the way while posting a loaded stat line. Edwards and Boopie Miller both had 20 points for SMU, and if that duo is clicking, the Mustangs will be a tough rival in the ACC.

Impact Miller looked healthy and dominant in this preseason tune-up, and he figures to play a significant role for the Mustangs once the regular season begins Nov. 3 against Tarleton State. Miller averaged 13.2 points, 2.9 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.6 steals per game across 28 starts in 2024-25 with SMU.
