Hopefully the Southern Miss Golden Eagles have been taking extra naps this week because they are going to need the extra energy this weekend. The Golden Eagles, who have dropped four straight heading into Saturday's test with the Memphis Tigers, get nearly 90 percent of their scoring from the starting five.

Memphis, meanwhile, has nine players averaging at least 11 minutes, and just one averaging more than 30. The Tigers' bench has scored more than 20 points 12 times and has scored at least 15 points in all but eight games this season.

The Tigers are one of the hottest teams in the country, so it's not going to be easy for the Golden Eagles to even stay in the game for very long.

Even a near-perfect effort by the Eagles might not be enough to upset Memphis, which has won 51 consecutive Conference USA games, but it might give them a chance at the end.
