It took two hours and 33 minutes to finish the contest between Southern Miss and Mississippi College, but after two overtimes and 72 missed shots later, USM squeaked out a close 96-95 victory over Mississippi College in an exhibition contest on Thursday night.
“I think some people are more disappointed than I am,” said Head Coach Doc Sadler. “Because I think that there are some good things that happened.”
Southern Miss started a rotation of guards Michael Ramey, Bilal Abdur-Rahim, Kevin Holland and Quinton Campbell, joined in the front court with forward Raheem Watts in the opening rotation of the year.
