Bracket Projection: SMU

One year after a postseason ban, the SMU Mustangs are dancing again. The program received sanctions under former coach Larry Brown, which led to the one-year ban and a reduction in scholarships, but Coach Tim Jankovich and the Mustangs clinched a regular-season American Athletic Conference title outright for the second time in three years, marched impressively to the AAC tournament title, and played their way back into the field. After a victory-filled campaign, can the Mustangs win the program's first NCAA tournament game since 1988?

ESPN Insider has your answers, as Joe Lunardi has enlisted a team of bracketologists to compile advanced metrics, key scouting intel and best- and worst-case tournament scenarios for all 68 teams to help you make smart picks in your bracket.
