SAN ANTONIO, Texas (WDAM) -The University of Southern Mississippi played to an all-too-familiar script Saturday afternoon at the University of Texas-San Antonio’s Convocation Center.
Fall behind by double digits. Claw back into contention. Fail to get enough defensive stops down the stretch. Watch helplessly as the opponent ices the game from the foul line.
