I'm taking Southern Miss +10.5 because its offensive rebounding gives it a way to keep Texas State within reach.
Southern Miss grabbed 18 offensive rebounds in Wednesday's overtime win over Jackson State. Texas State has allowed 10 in each of its first 3 games.
Those 18 offensive boards produced 16 second-chance points to Jackson State's 9. Brandon Weston collected 6 offensive rebounds.
Cameron Wallace added 21 points off the bench and grabbed the offensive rebound that led to his tying free throws with 3 seconds left in regulation.
Texas St. last won 72-65 at UTRGV. The Bobcats made 11 threes and all 13 free throws and still finished with a single-digit margin.
