Southern Miss vs Georgia Southern Prediction 

These two teams meet in the 2nd round of the Sun Belt Tournament, as Southern Miss will be on their second game in as many days. The Golden Eagles barely got by a bad Coastal Carolina team on Tuesday, which snapped an eight-game losing streak. Georgia Southern nearly finished at the .500 mark in conference play and they have won two games in a row. These two teams are actually pretty similar when looking at the stats, but Southern Miss did beat Georgia Southern by a score of 72-68 in their first meeting. I like how Georgia Southern finished the regular season and even in their last four losses, they were very competitive. Take the Georgia Southern to cover here.
