Eagles upset on the road 75-71

Jerrold Brooks scored 15 points, all in the second half, and Southern Miss (14-3, 1-1) place four players in double digits but it wasn't enough to avoid a 75-71 upset loss at the hands of the Tulsa Golden Hurricane (7-9, 2-0).
Southern Miss struggled mightily in the second half on Thursday night against North Texas, but came away with the win, and it seemed to carry over to the Tulsa game on Sunday.
