Coming off of a 73-71 overtime win over Louisiana Tech on Feb. 9, Southern Miss (16-9, 8-5 C-USA) earned a 78-71 comeback win against UTSA on Thursday night at Reed Green Coliseum.
“I thought we got off to a slow start,” Southern Miss head coach Doc Sadler said. “It was so much talk about how there was going to be 4-5 thousand people here and I thought that affected us. We got too much to play for and we can’t allow those type of things to affect our game. UTSA is a hard team to play against and they were one game out of first place so you got too happy about that.
