Southern Mississippi at Arizona

Head Coach Donnie Tyndall is in his first season at the helm of the Southern Mississippi men's basketball program. He’s a solid coach who inherits a veteran group, led by senior forward Jonathan Mills (12 points per game, 7.6 rebounds per game), and senior guard Dwayne Davis (15 ppg), plus juniors forward Michael Craig and guard Neil Watson. That experience is going to be a big plus heading to the No. 8 ranked team in the country. The Golden Eagles are 5-1 ATS in their last six non-conference games, and are on a 5-1 ATS run overall. They shoot 46% from the field as a team, play stellar team defense and have already beaten an SEC team (Georgia) as a +3 dog. This is a tough situational stretch for Arizona. They are off their first road game at Texas Tech, coming home for tonight’s game, but off to the East Coast to play at Clemson in their next game. Grab the points and play Southern Miss.
