The Need to Know
- Southern Miss opened the four-game homestand with a 10-point loss to WKU on Monday night. The Golden Eagles were within three with six minutes left before the Hilltoppers hit a handful of timely shots to pull away.
- Isaih Moore's 25-point, 12-rebound performance against WKU marked only the fourth time a Conference-USA player has recorded those numbers in a single game this season. Louisiana Tech's Kenneth Lofton, Jr. has done so twice (36-17, 31-14), while Rice's Max Fiedler has done it once (30-12).
- Moore was the first Golden Eagle to notch at least 25 points and 12 rebounds since Cortez Edwards went for 28 points and 12 rebounds against William Carey on Dec. 16, 2017.
- Against UAB last Thursday, Tyler Stevenson extended his game to beyond the three-point line for the first time in his career. The junior knocked down his first-career three-pointer late in the second half on the fifth-ever attempt in his four-year career.
- Against WKU, DeAndre Pinckney recorded his second double-double this season after going for 12 points and 10 rebounds.
- In four of its last five games, Southern Miss posted a season low in turnovers with seven against Rice, then nine against FIU, UAB, and WKU.
- Southern Miss' 16 offensive rebounds against WKU was a season best. Moore (6) and Pinckney (5) combined for 11 offensive boards.
- Walyn Napper's 2.29 assist to turnover ratio is second-best in C-USA and 53^rd nationally.
