Southern Miss' recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Wednesday after their third straight loss. They took a 65-54 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Jackrabbits. Southern Miss found out winning isn't easy when your three-point shooting is a whole 26.1% worse than the opposition.

The losses dropped both teams to an identical 2-4.

Southern Miss is hoping to beat the odds on Saturday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss. This contest might not be the best time to bet them against the spread since they've let bettors down the last three times they've played.

This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: Southern Miss have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 38.2 rebounds per game. However, it's not like Milwaukee struggles in that department as they've been even better at 39.3 per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
