SMU falls to Southern Miss in second game
Down four to Southern Miss with just less than six minutes remaining in the game, the SMU Mustangs were in a pinch. The Golden Eagles, who were picked preseason to finish seventh in the Conference-USA and posted a losing record last season, should not be up this late in Moody, but here they were.
SMU teams of old had a Nic Moore, a Semi Ojeleye, a Shake Milton, to rescue them from disaster. This year, the team does not. The Mustangs did not score a point in the next three minutes as Southern Miss built its lead to 10, eventually winning 74-64. The Mustangs dropped to 1-1 with the loss.
