Southern Miss vs Northern Kentucky prediction

Southern Miss 7, Northern Kentucky 4: The Norse threw their ace on Friday night against Tennessee. Their other two starting pitchers both have ERAs above 7.00. I was encouraged with Southern Miss’ offense seemingly getting better as Friday’s game went on. Expect better Southern Miss pitching — and a shorter leash, if need be — despite Northern Kentucky’s not-to-be-slept-on offense.

INDIANA: Ty Bothwell made deal with coach he’d propose to girlfriend if IU made regional. Guess what?
