Memphis beats Southern Miss

[BigTime]

67-49 on Saturday. Good defense or is Southern just that putrid?

I don't know, but I wish we'd gotten to play at least one non-exhibition warm-up game before playing at Memphis.

Couple box score thoughts:

Memphis shot 39.7%, don't think USM is some defensive juggernaut. This includes 3-18 (16.7%) from 3.

Not even like they worked through it, as they shot 39.4% in 1H, and 40.0% 2H.

USM outrebounded Memphis 48-37, including 21 offensive boards. We need to hit the glass hard.

Memphis had 14 steals and 7 TO, so looks like the main way they won the game, plus holding USM to 26.9% shooting. Woof

Hopefully the Sooners can hold a similar rebounding edge today. I like the chances of an OU victory if that happens.
