The Southern Miss men’s basketball team reached the most wins in a season during the Doc Sadler era with a 77-47 win over UTEP on Saturday. With their win streak now at six games, the Golden Eagles are now 17-9 for the season and 9-5 in C-USA play.
In the first half, Southern Miss held the Miners to just 12 points, which is tied for the fewest points allowed in a half in Conference USA history. Redshirt junior Leonard Harper-Baker quickly gave the Golden Eagles the lead with a jumper at the 17:57 mark of the first half and another less than a minute later.
