SMU's women's basketball team is set to open its season with a special Education Day game at Moody Coliseum on November 5, inviting K‑12 students, teachers and chaperones to experience college basketball up close.
Head Coach Adia Barnes, now in her second year at the helm, will showcase a roster bolstered by returning star Zahra King, who famously scored 40 points against Pitt last season, as well as fresh talent including Kinsea Grimes, the Sun Belt Freshman of the Year, and Grace Ezebilo, the CAA Defensive Player of the Year.
Game Details and Community Outreach
The matchup against Hampton begins at 11 a.m. Central Time, with free entry for the young audience and concessions available through card or mobile payment. Schools are encouraged to bring their own lunches, adding a casual picnic atmosphere to the event.
Beyond the competition, the day serves as a bridge between the university and the local community, offering educational activities and a chance for young fans to meet the team and learn about the sport.
With the Mustangs poised to make an impact in the upcoming season, the Education Day game exemplifies SMU's commitment to both athletic excellence and community engagement.
