What to Know

The Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners and the Southern Miss Golden Eagles are set to clash at 8 p.m. ET March 8 at Ford Center at The Star in the first round of the Conference USA Conference Tourney. Texas-San Antonio should still be riding high after a victory, while the Golden Eagles will be looking to right the ship.

The Roadrunners had enough points to win and then some against the Rice Owls this past Saturday, taking their contest 82-71.

Meanwhile, it was close but no cigar for Southern Miss as they fell 70-67 to the Charlotte 49ers this past Saturday.

Texas-San Antonio is the favorite in this one, with an expected 3.5-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are only 2-4 against the spread when favored.

A couple offensive stats to keep an eye on: Texas-San Antonio has only been able to knock down 39.40% percent of their shots, which is the 350th lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. Southern Miss has experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the game with the 21st fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 64.5 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
