What to Know

The Southern Miss Golden Eagles and the Florida Atlantic Owls are set to clash at 9:30 p.m. ET March 9 at Ford Center at The Star in the second round of the Conference USA Conference Tourney. The Golden Eagles have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with Florida Atlantic and are hoping to record their first win since Feb. 13 of 2020.

Southern Miss earned some postseason bragging rights after a successful outing on Tuesday. They had just enough and edged out the Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners 67-64. It was another big night for Southern Miss' forward Tyler Stevenson, who had 22 points in addition to seven boards.

Meanwhile, Florida Atlantic netted an 84-76 victory over the Florida International Panthers on Saturday.

Southern Miss have to know they'll be fighting an uphill battle given the 13.50 point spread they are up against. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread, however, as they are currently on a four-game streak of ATS wins.
