The third time was not the charm for Wichita State and SMU. Nor the fourth.
 
The American Athletic Conference announced that both of this week's scheduled matchups betweent he schools – Thursday, Feb. 25 in Wichita and Sunday, Feb. 28 in Dallas -- have been postponed due to the continued suspension of men's basketball activities at SMU.
 
The Shockers and Mustangs postponed their Jan. 18 game in Dallas over COVID-19 positives at SMU. A second attempt (Feb. 14) fell through when SMU again paused activities. The teams had hoped to meet twice this week.
 
The Mustangs last played a game on Feb. 8 and have endured six-straight postponements.
 
The Shockers have had nine postponements since the start of conference play – all due to COVID-19 protocol at opposing schools.
