Southern Mississippi at Lamar

Southern Miss had won three in a row before losing 67-48 to McNeese State on Wednesday when the Golden Eagles went stone cold and shot only 28 percent from the field. The Golden Eagles have had plenty of time to practice their shooting touch and will face Lamar, which has lost three of five, but defeated UL Monroe 97-73 while shooting 53 percent on Thursday. Southern Miss is still favored in this matchup as it expects to compete for the Sun Belt championship and is coming off a 25-8 season in 2022-23. The Golden Eagles have won and covered the past four meetings, including both last season and the margin of victory for Southern Miss in the two games averaged 31 points.
