Tulsa and USM match up quite well together as neither of them are strong rebounding teams who look for the inside shot and feel more comfortable in a slower paced game. Tulsa has the edge in a few areas when you see that they score just over 2ppg more and give up just under 2ppg less but USM has the edge in one main area of play when you aren't at home and that is turnovers. Turnovers could play a large part in this game as neither team will be "home" and the fans may be cheering equally loud for both teams. Add that to the fact that their guard B. McDade is questionable with an Achilles injury (he left his last game, which Tulsa ended up losing ATS) and you create an ideal situation for USM. Southern Mississippi has covered their last 3 straight as well as well as 5 of their last 6 when not playing at home. It will be a tough game for USM to win SU this will be their best chance to do so if Tulsa is without McDade; take USM getting the points for one star.
