The Southern Miss men’s basketball team’s (8-7, 0-3 C-USA) losing streak is now at three games following a road loss to conference opponent North Texas (15-1, 3-0 C-USA) on Saturday evening. The Mean Green scored on a layup with 15 seconds remaining to take the lead over Southern Miss and come away with the 65-62 win.
“You’re never happy when you lose, but North Texas is playing as well as anyone in our league, and we had a chance to win it,” Southern Miss Head Coach Doc Sadler said. “We’re struggling at the free-throw line, and can’t give those points up and expect to win a one or two point ballgame.
