Southern Miss remains undefeated with Khari Price in the lineup.
Whether the senior guard scores 20 points like he did in Thursday’s win over UTSA or if he’s held to just a single notch in the scoring column, as was the case Saturday against UTEP — no matter. The Golden Eagles win.
Southern Miss (5-10, 2-1 in C-USA), with Price running the show in his second game of the season after recovering from a left knee injury, beat the Miners 73-65 at Reed Green Coliseum. The victory gives Southern Miss back-to-back C-USA triumphs for the first time since last season while also extending UTEP’s losing streak to 12.
