HATTIESBURG, MS. -- The North Texas women's basketball team committed 22 turnovers in a 70-48 loss at Southern Miss Saturday afternoon.

North Texas (11-16, 8-8 C-USA) struggled to run its offense on the Golden Eagles' (20-9, 12-5 C-USA) pressure defense while Southern Miss made 48 percent of its shots to win its sixth game in a row.
