A new and experienced voice is on the Hilltop guiding the SMU men's basketball program in Andy Enfield. 

Enfield took over a program from Rob Lanier that won 20 games and went to the NIT in 2023-24. But given this move to the ACC, SMU leadership believed it needed an upgrade in the head coach position. It turned to Enfield who spent at 11 seasons at USC and led the Trojans to five NCAA tournament appearances including the Elite 8 in 2020. It probably would have been six in 2019-2020 had it not been for COVID.

SMU is Enfield's third stop as a head coach. He completely restructured the 2024-25 roster. He hopes the Mustangs will be the surprise of the ACC, which is arguably the most historic conference in all of college basketball. 

Enfield took some time with Hilltop Visits to cover a variety of topics.
