Southern Miss received a tough blow on Thursday as they fell 98-79 to the Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners. Southern Miss' loss shouldn't obscure the performances of forward Isaih Moore, who had 15 points along with seven rebounds and six blocks, and guard Walyn Napper, who had 21 points and six assists.

Meanwhile, things were close when Texas-El Paso and the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs clashed on Thursday, but Texas-El Paso ultimately edged out the opposition 63-60. Guard Souley Boum took over for the Miners, finishing with 28 points (a whopping 44% of their total) in addition to 12 boards.

The Golden Eagles are expected to lose this next one by 7. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn't have high expectations for them since the squad is 6-13 ATS when expected to lose.

Southern Miss is now 6-19 while Texas-El Paso sits at 15-10. Texas-El Paso is 8-6 after wins this season, and Southern Miss is 3-15 after losses.
