Campbell leads Southern Miss past North Texas, 76-53

DENTON, Texas -- Quinton Campbell put up 24 points and pulled down 13 rebounds as Southern Miss completed a season sweep of North Texas with a 76-53 Conference USA victory Saturday afternoon.

With one game remaining, the regular-season finale at Louisiana Tech, Southern Miss has clinched a spot in the 12-team Conference USA tournament, which begins March 8, as the No. 12 seed.

Southern Miss (9-20, 6-11), bouncing back from a heart-breaking loss at Rice in overtime Thursday night, built a 17-point lead by halftime.

Campbell hit 10 of 13 shots from the field, including 2 of 3 from distance, and grabbed 10 rebounds off the defensive glass.
