New Mexico State at Southern Mississippi

This is long road trip for New Mexico State - a poor shooting team (42%) that lives and dies by the three. The Aggies are 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight road games. They face a Southern Mississippi team (4-2) that is very good at defending the three, has strong scorers in senior guards Angelo Johnson and LaShay Page. They also have strong rebounding muscle with 6-10 senior Maurice Bolden (7.2 rebounds per game) and 6-6 junior Jonathan Mills (6.8 rpg). Southern Miss plays just its second home game of the year after returning from a five-game road trip. This will be the second time that these two teams will meet in the last eight days, as Southern Miss defeated New Mexico State 80-72 in the Semifinals of the Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout. It was more one-sided as Southern Miss shot 49%, New Mexico State shot .417%, and the Golden Eagles had a 36-24 rebounding edge, while holding New Mexico State to 2-of-10 from beyond the arc. The Aggies are also 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Play on Southern Miss.
