Southern Miss comes into this matchup after winning four of their last five games and they got a nice win over JMU on Thursday. The Golden Eagles are shooting 45% from the field and they have scored 84+ in three of their last four. Texas State has also won four of their last five games, but they have scored 60 and 54 points in their last two games. The Bobcats are shooting 47% from the field and they have allowed 82+ in two of their last four. This is a game that could go either way in my opinion, but this Southern Miss team is really playing well right now. Take the Golden Eagles here.
