After three straight games (and two wins!) against ranked teams, Avery Johnson’s Crimson Tide needs to shift their thinking for tonight’s game against Southern Miss.
The Golden Eagles have not won yet this season, and have already seen a particularly bad loss to NAIA William Carey. Out of 347 Division 1 teams, Southern Miss ranks an abysmal #342 in RPI.
Southern Miss is 346th in points per game (again, of 347), scoring only 58.4ppg. The defense is allowing just under 69ppg. That looks good until you realize that previously mentioned NAIA William Carey scored 84.
