The History
The first game played in Green Coliseum was December 6, 1965, when the Golden Eagles defeated Southeastern Louisiana, 71-69. The building was formally dedicated on December 11, 1965, during a game against Alabama.
The Golden Eagles have been tough in their home arena, posting a 479-212* mark since the 1965-66 season for a .693 winning percentage. This includes perfect marks in the 2011-12 and 1967-68 seasons, finishing 15-0 and 11-0, respectively. The most victories to be posted in Green Coliseum were 16 during the 2006-07 campaign.
One of the most exciting games of recent memory was a 73-71 overtime victory over Louisiana Tech on Feb. 9, 2019. It came in the midst of a six-game win streak, rejuvenating the program as it recovered from NCAA sanctions, and happened in front of 4,587 fans that included New Orleans Saints star running back Alvin Kamara sitting courtside.
The Golden Eagles' first Metro Conference game and victory was in Reed Green Coliseum against Tulane, when Southern Miss defeated the Green Wave 50-48 on December 6, 1982. The program's first Conference USA game also was played at Reed Green Coliseum, a 75-70 loss to Cincinnati on Jan. 11, 1996. The first C-USA win at the arena occurred against USF, when the team won 59-51 on Feb. 24, 1996.
