SMU’s tight loss to No. 25 South Florida shows Mustangs’ progress under Toyelle Wilson

Despite the loss to USF — a team slotted as a five seed in ESPN’s NCAA Tournament projections — Wilson and the Mustangs walked away from Saturday’s loss encouraged.

Against USF, there wasn’t much room for error. SMU acted accordingly, only turning the ball over a season-low seven times. The game, Wilson said, dictated that. She also knew in the back of her mind that she could use her starters that long if need be. USF did the same. The Bulls played starters Dulcy Fankam Mendjiadeu and Sammie Puisis the entire game. Guard Elena Tsineke played more than 36 minutes.And for 40 minutes, SMU proved its best players could hang with USF’s, even if the result didn’t go SMU’s way.A decade ago, back when Wilson was in her third season at Prairie View A&M — her only previous head coaching job — Wilson’s team went to the NCAA Tournament for the third time in three seasons.
