FRISCO, Texas – After Southern Miss snuck past FIU, 69-68, to open the Conference USA Tournament on Wednesday night, the Blue Raiders now know they will face the ninth-seeded Golden Eagles in the quarterfinals on Thursday.
The Blue Raiders (24-6, 16-2) and Eagles (15-17, 7-11) have met twice this season already, with Middle Tennessee clinching a 69-49 win in Murfreesboro and bringing home a 72-62 win from Hattiesburg.

The Blue Raiders are now 9-1 all-time against the Golden Eagles with the two teams meeting on a neutral site for the first time.
Thursday's contest will tip at 6:00 p.m. on court A in the Ford Center at the Star and will be broadcast by Stadium.
