USM’s Price glad to be back on court

It was hard to tell Thursday night who was happier about the return of Khari Price to the basketball court: the senior point guard himself or his University of Southern Mississippi teammates. Price, who had missed the Golden Eagles’ first 13 games of the season while recovering from preseason surgery on his left knee, played 31 minutes and scored a career-high 20 points as the Golden Eagles snapped a nine-game losing streak with a 77-59 Conference USA victory over visiting University of Texas-San Antonio at Green Coliseum.
