Against an AP top-25 team at home, SMU had a prime opportunity to earn the statement win lacking from its résumé. While the Mustangs are off to a strong start in 2024-25, they’ve lost all of their marquee matchups — and most of them by large margins.

Chucky Hepburn was the straw that stirred the drink for Louisville, finishing with a 13-point and 16-assist double-double. The assist mark broke the single-game UofL record, which was previously 15 by Francisco Garcia on Jan. 3, 2004 vs. Murray State.

Louisville basketball recorded its 9th straight win Tuesday night in Dallas. See UofL basketball vs SMU highlights from the ACC game.
