Southern Miss played their last game at Reed Green Coliseum last Saturday against North Texas. The Golden Eagles are not in contention for the NCAA tournament but should not look back on the 2015-16 season as a poor one. Southern Miss still has two games to improve upon their 8-19 record.
Southern Miss’ 8-19 record does not represent the effort the Golden Eagles gave this year. As stated by many players and coaches on the team, “missed opportunities” and “unnecessary turnovers” were the biggest flaws for the Golden Eagles this year. Close games against Alabama, UAB, UTEP and Rice all came down to minimal mistakes that Southern Miss made.
