The Golden Eagles fell at FIU on Thursday. The Panthers led at the half, opened the lead to 43-30, and then saw the Golden Eagles respond with a 13-2 run to pull within at the 12-minute mark. The Panthers made nine of 10 free-throw attempts over the final 1:37 to claim the victory. Tyree Griffin recorded his fourth-career double-double with 17 points and 11 assists. It was the fourth time he s reached doublefigures in the dime category. He also had 12 against Rust on Dec. 3 and accomplished the feat against Kansas and Kansas State while a sophomore at Oklahoma State in Griffin now has 133 assists, already the most of any player in a single season of the Sadler era. He is currently No. 6 against C-USA foes for scoring (18.6 ppg), fourth in assists (5.8 apg), fourth in steals (2.1 spg) and seventh in assist-turnover ratio (2.1). FAU spoiled Southern Miss Senior Day last Feb. 18, shooting 61 percent (including 8-for-9 on three-pointers in the second half) to come away with a victory. It marked the most points allowed by the Golden Eagles in a home loss since Louisville in Southern Miss has since won its last nine home games, tying for the eighth-longest streak in school history. When the Owls and Golden Eagles last squared off in Boca Raton (Jan. 16, 2016), Tim Rowe scored a career- and game-high 20 points in a loss. Southern Miss held a halftime lead on the heels of a victory two days before at FIU. Cortez Edwards had 26 points and 11 rebounds in the 2017 game against the Owls, his second-straight double-double (16 points, 10 rebounds two days prior versus FIU). The Kissimmee, Fla., native continued the trend in Thursday s defeat at FIU, posting 17 points and six rebounds. No. 12 nationally with 49 swipes and has scored in double-figures in all but two games this season. His 15.7 ppg is second on the squad. As a team, Southern Miss has a advantage in steals. It s the first time it s been in the positives in the Sadler era ( last season). The Golden Eagles need 48 more to crack the top-10 list in school history. The Golden Eagles need three more league wins to continue the trend of Doc Sadler improving the team s C-USA win total in each season he has been at the helm. Southern Miss has moved to third and sixth nationally for fewest turnovers per game (9.5) and assist-turnover ratio (1.61). Florida State and FIU have been the only teams so far to edge the Black and Gold in the turnover battle. Southern Miss 23 assists versus Rice were its most against a Division I team since Nov. 27, 2004 versus McNeese State (26). It also had 32 versus Rust on Dec. 3, The Golden Eagles lead C-USA in assist-turnover ratio (1.7). FAU fell victim to a late 14-1 run by LA Tech in a defeat on Thursday night. Last Saturday, the Owls got a long buzzer-beating three-pointer from Justin Massey to defeat Rice. FAU is 5-5, including 1-4 in league play (defeated Charlotte 75-64), and has the league s second-best scoring defense against C-USA foes (65.4 ppg). It is also scoring 61.9 ppg in those games.

4 Last Time Out MIAMI, Fla. -- Florida International made nine of its final 10 free-throws over the final 1:39 to defeat Southern Miss, 76-70, on Thursday night inside the Ocean Bank Center. If you look at every game for FIU, it s always a close, tough ballgame, head coach Doc Sadler said. It s what I expected. We are just not good enough yet to overcome 17 points difference at the free-throw line. We had a couple of opportunities there but didn t capitalize. It s hard to win on the road when you don t get to the freethrow line. FIU (10-13, 4-6 C-USA) opened the second half on a 12-2 run, opening its largest lead of the game at The Golden Eagles, however, responded with a 13-2 run over the next five minutes to close the gap at Kevin Holland also connected on a three-pointer with 7:05 left to pull Southern Miss within The Golden Eagles were able to get within five once more, at the 2:32 mark. Even though we went with a small lineup, we only allowed one offensive rebound in the second half, which is good, Sadler said. Their three guards are really good, and we just need some different guys to step up. I told the team after the game that not a lot of teams in this league can win on the road giving up 76 points. There were five lead changes and three ties in the first half, and the Golden Eagles largest lead came when it was 5-0. Cortez Edwards finished with a layup with 19 seconds remaining in the period, but FIU s Eric Lockett hit a long jumper before the buzzer for a Panther lead. The Golden Eagles (11-12, 4-6 C-USA) will now look to regroup over a short trip to Boca Raton, where they will battle FAU at 6 p.m. CT on Saturday.

5 Need to Know Who s Who on that Southern Miss bench? Head coach Doc Sadler is beginning his fourth season in Hattiesburg. He is joined by assistant coaches Steve Shields, Marques Townsend, Clarence Weatherspoon and Director of Operations Omar Thomas. Shields and Sadler became acquaintances through the Texas recruiting circuit in the early-mid 1990s. Sadler moved south to Lawrence, Kan., to be the Director of Basketball Operations for the Jayhawks upon leaving the Huskers. Townsend was also a manger/administrative volunteer as the two overlapped for a year and was hired prior to Sadler s second season at Southern Miss. Weatherspoon remained tight with his alma mater following his storied playing career, becoming a season ticket holder and earning recognition at Clarence Weatherspoon Day on Jan. 30, 2016 when the Golden Eagles defeated UTSA. He is a recent inductee into the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame too and is in his second year on the USM staff. Thomas just completed a 12-year professional basketball career. He played two years at UTEP under Sadler and was instrumental in the team making an NCAA and NIT appearance. Graduate assistant Tyler Schaul and video coordinator Jake Stoffers were both Iowa State student managers when Doc Sadler spent his lone year ( ) there as an assistant coach with then-head coach (now Chicago Bulls) Fred Hoiberg. Meet the Hoopers! The Southern Miss basketball roster features some impressive basketball family backgrounds. Sophomore Clay Weatherspoon is the son of assistant coach Clarence, widely considered the best player in Southern Miss history. Kevin Holland s father, James, is an assistant coach for the Western Michigan men s basketball team. He led USC Spartanburg (now Upstate) to the 1982 NAIA championship and spent the season playing for the Harlem Globetrotters. Holland was also an assistant for Doc Sadler s first UTEP team that won the 2005 WAC title and appeared in March Madness. He has since served on the coaching staffs at San Diego State, South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama (where Kevin attended high school). Eddie Davis III s cousin, Diontae Jones, plays basketball at Grambling. Tyree Griffin s brother, Bo McCalebb, was the 2007 Sun Belt Player of the Year at New Orleans and is playing overseas. The Young and the Restless Southern Miss is one of four C-USA teams (out of 14) to have one senior on the squad (D Angelo Richardson). Richardson, a walk-on junior college transfer out of Holmes CC, is a native of Vicksburg and has been a major energy contributor to the club. His first season also saw him hit multiple buzzer-beaters, one each in regulation and the first overtime against Tougaloo in the opener and another long threepointer that defeated FIU and essentially sealed a C-USA Tournament berth. Eddie Davis III and Kevin Holland are both in their fourth years at Southern Miss but still qualify as juniors. Davis had two separate upper and lowerbody injuries that held him to only 13 games his first two seasons, but the redshirt-junior played 30 last season and looks to continue that trajectory. LaDavius Draine is the lone freshman on this year s squad. The All-State shooter out of Calhoun City HS once had 46 points in a first-half as a senior and will play multiple positions for the Golden Eagles this season. Additional Notes The Golden Eagles have nine scholarship players on this year s roster, and we will be allowed 11 next year as part of the NCAA sanctions that Doc Sadler and his staff inherited for the season. Cortez Edwards collected a career-high 13 rebounds against UTSA on Jan. 5, the most by a Golden Eagle since Michael O Donnell equaled the feat in the 2015 opener at Memphis. It was also the first Southern Miss double-double of the year. Edwards on Feb. 9 at UTSA collected eight assists and 11 rebounds, the highest-such combo since Jonathan Mills and Neil Watson each did so in Tim Rowe s five blocks against South Alabama on Nov. 30, 2016 marked the most by a Southern Miss individual since Gary Flowers had seven against New Orleans in Southern Miss had 45 free-throw attempts in its opener against SUNO (Nov. 10), its most in a single game since Only seven Golden Eagles played in the Dec. 10 win over Troy, the fewest since seven took the floor against Tulane last Dec. 10, 2016 as well. It happened again in the Jan. 6 win over UTSA. Dominic Magee and Cortez Edwards have each posted double-doubles in the Dec. 16 and Jan. 6 wins, something that Southern Miss hadn t seen previously since 2011 (Darnell Dodson and Jonathan Mills). Kevin Holland has made five consecutive threepointers three times in his career. He initially tied the school record for percentage with a 5-for-5 mark on Dec. 10, 2016 versus Tulane, then made his first five against Youngstown State on Nov. 25, 2017 in South Dakota. On Jan. 6, he went 7-for-7 from deep as part of an 8-for-8 day to further cement his legacy. Only Marcus Crowell (10-for-10 versus ULL in 1990) has shot perfect from the field on at least eight attempts. The Golden Eagles defeated Rice despite having just 17 rebounds. It was the fewest in a game since having 16 versus Tennessee Tech in The only other instances since then where the team had fewer than 20 were 19 each against Cincinnati in 2005 and UAB on Jan. 11. It was also the Black and Gold s its first win despite being out-shot since Feb. 16, 2017 versus FIU (in overtime). D Angelo Richardson, a walk-on, is the lone senior on this year s team. The last Southern Miss squad to have one or no seniors was in Richardson s final-second three-pointer vs. FIU on Feb. 16, 2017 gave Southern Miss a dramatic overtime win that essentially clinched the team s first C-USA Tournament appearance in three years. Southern Miss 32 assists versus Rust were the thirdmost in school history. Two Golden Eagles eligible to play this season are Dominic Magee and Tyree Griffin. Magee was ranked as high as the No. 2 recruit in Louisiana coming out of Helen Cox HS in Harvey. He redshirted his first year at Memphis before playing at 28-8 Grand Canyon last year, even scoring 29 points in his debut. Griffin was a major contributor at Oklahoma State from , starting 16 games as a sophomore. He even had a career-high 12 assists at Kansas and tallied eight double-figure scoring games. Magee s 16 free-throw attempts against SUNO in the opener were the most by a Golden Eagle since Kourtlin Jackson also had 16 in the 2016 finale at Marshall. It s also the most by anyone in C-USA for the year Trends Overall Home 9-0 Away 1-9 Neutral 1-3 Conference USA 4-6 Home 4-0 Away 0-6 Non-Conference 7-6 Home 5-0 Away 1-3 Neutral 1-3 Against Ranked Teams 0-1 Against State Schools 2-1 Day Games 6-3 Night Games 5-9 Overtime 0-0 TV Games 1-1 White Jerseys 9-1 Gold Jerseys 0-2 Black Jerseys 2-9 HALFTIME Leading at Halftime 11-2 Trailing at Halftime 0-10 Tied at Halftime 0-0 SHOOTING Shooting Better Than Opponent 10-1 Shooting the Same as Opponent 0-0 Shooting Worse Than Opponent 1-11 Shoot 45% or Better 7-3 Opponent Shoots 45% or Better 5-11 Shoot Less Than 45% 2-9 Opponent Shoots Less Than 45% 6-1 Make Five or Fewer 3-pointers 1-5 Make More Than Five 3-pointers 10-7 Attempt 15 or Fewer 3-pointers 0-2 Attempt More Than 15 3-pointers SCORING Scoring 80 or More Points 7-0 Allowing 80 or More Points 1-6 Score Points 3-3 Allow Points 4-3 Score Points 1-6 Allow Points 3-2 Score 59 or Fewer Points 0-4 Allow 59 or Fewer Points 3-0 Lead with 5:00 Remaining 11-1 Trail with 5:00 Remaining 0-11 Tied with 5:00 Remaining 0-0 SCORING MARGIN 1-3 Point Margins Point Margins Point Margins Point Margins Point Margins 2-3 FREE THROWS Shoot More Free Throws Than Opponent 8-1 Opponent Shoots More Free Throws 3-9 Free Throws Tied 0-2 BENCH Bench Outscores Opponents 6-4 Bench Outscored by Opponents 5-8 Bench Points Tied 0-0 REBOUNDS Out-Rebound Opponent 4-0 Out-Rebounded by Opponent 6-12 Tied 1-0 TURNOVERS Commit Fewer Turnovers 11-9 Commit More Turnovers 0-2 Turnovers Tied 0-1 Commit 15 or Fewer Turnovers Commit More Than 15 Turnovers 1-1 MONTH November 3-4 December 4-4 January 4-3 February 0-1 March 0-0 DAY OF THE WEEK Sunday 2-1 Monday 1-0 Tuesday 0-0 Wednesday 1-1 Thursday 2-5 Friday 1-1 Saturday 4-3 5

That s where we re going. I don t care anything about winning a lot of games. I care about one thing. I care about playing in the NCAA tournament. And with that statement, Doc Sadler began his tenure as the 20th head coach in Southern Miss history prior to the season. Despite inherited NCAA sanctions, Sadler has increased the Golden Eagles C-USA win total each year he has been at the helm. Sadler was announced at a press conference on May 1, 2014, bringing over 30 years of coaching experience to Hattiesburg. As a head coach, his teams have posted winning marks in 11 of his 14 years, with seven squads having won at least 20 games. Overall, he owns a in 14 seasons as a college head coach. During his coaching tenure, Sadler has been associated with 16 postseason teams in 23 seasons, including five in 10 years at the Division I level, while helping 19 players reach the National Basketball Association. Sadler and years at Kansas and Iowa State respectively, winning two Big XII titles and advancing to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen both years. While at ISU, Sadler learned under head coach Fred Hoiberg, who plays an NBA style of offense, which Sadler brings to Southern Miss. Sadler spent six years at Nebraska, compiling a record and three NIT appearances. Sadler opened his tenure with the Cornhuskers with five straight wins, including his 50th as a Division I coach over nationallyranked Creighton. He went on to guide NU to 17 wins, tying for the third-most victories by a first-year coach in Nebraska history. In , Sadler led his second squad to 20 victories, just the 12th 20-win season in program history and the first since 1999, guiding the Huskers to the second round of the NIT. The following year, Nebraska earned an record, including an 8-8 record in Big XII play. It was the first.500 conference record by the Huskers in a decade, and ended with their second straight NIT appearance. That year, Nebraska had the best scoring defense in the league at 60.4 points per game, the second-best mark at NU in the last 50 years. The Huskers second straight NIT appearance marked the first time in a decade that Nebraska had played in the postseason in consecutive years. Following a year that saw Sadler put the youngest team in the Big XII on the floor, Sadler led Nebraska to the NIT in , earning a record. The Huskers were led by a defense that ranked in the top-20 nationally in both scoring and field goal percentage. The 89 wins in his first five seasons are the most by an NU coach in Nebraska history. Sadler, 55, began his Division I head coach career by spending two seasons leading the program at UTEP, where he helped continue the long-standing tradition of success in Miners basketball. Sadler s UTEP teams boasted 48 victories in his two years as head coach and won 72.7-percent of their games. Including his first season with the Miners as an assistant coach, Sadler helped UTEP to 72 victories over three years, ranking the Miners 20th nationally in victories during that span. The Miners gained three straight postseason appearances with Sadler on the bench. A native of Greenwood, Ark., Sadler made one of the most successful Division I coaching debuts in college basketball history, as his Miners squad ran to an impressive 27-8 record and an NCAA Tournament berth. UTEP won a school-record 14 Western Athletic Conference (WAC) games and its first WAC Tournament title in 15 years to earn the league s automatic bid. The 27 wins were one off the UTEP school record. They also put Sadler in rare territory, as the mark still ranks ninth in NCAA history for victories by a first-year Division I coach. Sadler led UTEP to 21 victories in and an NIT berth, relying on a defense that ranked 15th nationally by allowing only 59.5 points per game. UTEP set a C-USA record by allowing just 56 points per game in conference play in , and also allowed teams to hit just 40.6 percent from the floor on the year, the program s best mark since While solid defense is a staple of his teams, Sadler understands the need to put creative scorers in a position to flourish. That was especially noticeable in his first UTEP team, as the 2005 Miners set the school record for points scored (2,616, 74.7 ppg), assists (579) and free throw percentage (.792). Sadler helped two players, Omar Thomas and Filberto Rivera, earn first-team All-WAC honors in 2005, the

7 first time UTEP had a pair of players on the first team in 20 years. Thomas also earned MVP honors after an outstanding performance at the league tournament. A year later, John Tofi, one of two 1,000-point scorers on the squad, was the third Miner to earn a first-team all-league certificate under Sadler. Before taking over as head coach, Sadler was an assistant at UTEP under then-head coach Billy Gillispie in when the Miners made their first NCAA Tournament appearance in more than a decade. Under Gillispie and Sadler, UTEP tied the biggest turnaround in NCAA history that season as it went from six wins the previous year to 24 wins in Sadler s first season assisting the Miners. Sadler honed his coaching skills in his native state, as he served as a head coach in the junior college ranks for five years at Arkansas-Fort Smith from 1999 to His success as a head coach began there, as he posted a record at Fort Smith. Sadler served two stints as an assistant coach at Arkansas-Fort Smith, first in and then again during the season. He took over as head coach and athletic director in 1998 and served in that capacity until 2003 when he left to join Gillispie at UTEP. Sadler s teams won the Bi-State East Conference title each of his last four years at Arkansas-Fort Smith. The 2001 and 2002 NJCAA Region II Coach of the Year, Sadler led the Lions to the region title and an appearance in the NJCAA Tournament while winning 30 games each of those seasons. Off the court, his teams had a 95-percent graduation rate during his tenure and every sophomore over his last two seasons at UAFS was awarded a scholarship to a four-year institution, including eight Division I scholarships.

Head Coach Doc Sadler What others are saying about Sadler This is not a home run, this is a grand slam hire. I have coached against his teams for 20 years and his teams play tough and are extremely difficulty to guard. He will do great at Southern Miss. John Calipari, Kentucky Head Coach Doc Sadler is a great fit for Southern Miss Basketball. His teams have won a lot of games with grit and toughness and it will be no different in Hattiesburg. Golden Eagle fans will embrace him because he wasn t born with a silver coaching spoon in his mouth. He s earned his success. Fran Fraschilla, ESPN College Basketball Analyst I couldn t be happier for Doc, but we will miss him greatly here at Iowa State. Much of our success this past year was because of Doc s influence on our team. Southern Miss is getting an excellent basketball coach and an even better person who will do special things for the program. Fred Hoiberg, Iowa State Head Coach I ve known Doc for almost 30 years. He s a really good guy that can flat out coach and recruit. Players want to play for him. I m so excited for Doc but also very happy for the Southern Miss community. Bill Self, Kansas Head Coach Considered by many to be a tremendous tactician and strategist, Sadler is equally as impressive on the recruiting paths. Sadler has signed eight players who have gone on to play in the NBA, including Michael Batiste, Tony Battie, Cory Carr, Mark Davis, Darvin Ham, Eddie House, Maurice Jeffers and Jason Sasser.
