Charleston Southern at Southern Mississippi

Southern Mississippi has to be feeling the pain after blowing several opportunities to close out Memphis and earn a bid to the Big Dance. The Golden Eagles can turn to their 15-28 from the charity stripe performance and only wonder what if? It will be hard to get things going against a lesser, and unknown opponent in Charleston Southern. The Buccaneers are unknown and untested, but have only lost one game all season by 14 or more, despite playing against Wichita State, Charlotte, Arizona, and Alabama. They certainly have proven that they can hang tough vs. better competition, and vs. a depleted Golden Eagles team, they should hang inside an inflated number. Take the points on Charleston Southern.
