Southern Miss (8-0) at Northwestern State (6-2) – 4:30 PM ET (ESPN+)
Today’s UTR Game of the Day takes us to an intraconference matchup between next-door neighbors Southern Miss and Northwestern State. Southern Miss is making probably their first ever back-to-back appearances in our UTR Game of the Day; they defeated Montana 64-54 at home last Tuesday thanks to a 20-point performance from Donovan Ivory. This will be the first of four straight games for the Golden Eagles against Southland teams – they will next begin a back-to-back home and away series with Lamar.
When the season started, the Demons of Northwestern State were blown out 73-49 at Texas Tech and it appeared that they were getting through life as a buy-game opponent. But something funny happened – they got a shocking 64-63 win at TCU and are now on a 5-game winning streak since that game. Last time out, they won at SFA 102-96 thanks to a 34-point outing from Demarcus Sharp.
