SMU's Selection Sunday gamble backfires as Edwards absence sinks First Four bid
SMU earned the final at-large bid expecting star guard B.J. Edwards to play, but he did not suit up in the First Four, contributing to an 89-79 loss to Miami (Ohio); the outcome sparked questions about whether the committee was duped, though coach Andy Enfield said there was no wrongdoing and pointed to Edwards' injury and SMU's overall metrics as justification for the bid.
