Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

The Mustangs were led by sixth-year head coach Matt Doherty and played their home games at Moody Coliseum in Dallas, Texas. They were members of Conference USA (C-USA).

SMU finished the season with an overall record of 13–19 and 4–12 in Conference USA play, finishing 11th in the conference standings. The team was eliminated in the first round of the Conference USA tournament.

This template does not display in the mobile view of Wikipedia; it is desktop only. See Template:Navbox visibility for a brief explanation.

This is a navigational template created using {{navbox}}. It can be transcluded on pages by placing {{2011–12 SMU Mustangs men's basketball team}} below the standard article appendices and above categories.

Initial visibility

This template's initial visibility currently defaults to autocollapse, meaning that if there is another collapsible item on the page (a navbox, sidebar, or table with the collapsible attribute), it is hidden apart from its title bar; if not, it is fully visible.

To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used:

{{2011–12 SMU Mustangs men's basketball team|state=collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.
{{2011–12 SMU Mustangs men's basketball team|state=expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.

Templates using the classes class=navbox ({{navbox}}) or class=nomobile ({{sidebar}}) are not displayed in article space on the mobile web site of English Wikipedia. Mobile page views accounted for 60% to 70% of all page views from 2020 through 2025. Briefly, these templates are not included in articles because 1) they are not well designed for mobile, and 2) they significantly increase page sizes—bad for mobile downloads—in a way that is not useful for the mobile use case. You can review/watch phab:T124168 for further discussion.
