Southern Miss must gel quickly or will have a long season
Southern Miss has several new faces on the roster, including transfers and freshmen. The top three players returning from last season are Jeff Montgomery, a guard who averaged 3.3 points per game, center Tegra Izay, who averaged 2.5 points per game, and guard Brewer Carruth, who averaged just 0.9 points per game.
Southern Miss added three transfers expected to contribute immediately. Senior guard Curt Lewis, a 6’5” wing from East Tennessee State, averaged 4.4 points and 2.5 rebounds last season before an injury limited his action. Junior guard Robert Cowherd, also 6’5”, arrives from Ole Miss after limited minutes but has playmaking potential. Junior forward Tylik Weeks, a 6’7” transfer from Southwest Mississippi Community College, was a standout in JUCO with averages of 21.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game. His interior play and rebounding should help strengthen the Golden Eagles’ frontcourt.
Buffalo has three talented transfers
Last season, the Buffalo Bulls scored an average of 71.8 points per game on 42.6% shooting overall and 30.4% shooting from 3-point territory. The top three returning players from last season are Ryan Sabol, Noah Batchelor, and Tim Oboh. Sabol averaged 14.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game. Batchelor averaged 6.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game. Oboh averaged 3.9 points and 2.3 rebounds per game.

Buffalo’s roster gained three transfers who are expected to make an immediate impact: Angelo Brizzi, Daniel Freitag, and Ezra McKenna. Brizzi, a senior guard from Longwood, averaged 6.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.4 assists while shooting 40% from three-point territory. Freitag, a sophomore guard from Wisconsin, saw limited minutes as a freshman but brings athleticism and defense. McKenna, a senior forward from Mobile, produced 15.2 points and 10.7 rebounds per game.
Southern Miss Golden Eagles vs. Buffalo Bulls Pick
Spread Pick for Southern Miss vs. Buffalo
- Buffalo Bulls (4 units)
Buffalo returns a legitimate leading scorer in Sabol and a rebounder in Batchelor, with Oboh’s size inside. The new guards, Brizzi and Freitag, should reduce turnovers; the team averaged 14.5 turnovers per game last season. McKenna gives the Bulls another legitimate leading scorer who is also a big presence in the paint and on the boards at both ends. Buffalo will be at home and against a Southern Miss squad that has several new faces, and starting the season on the road. This gives the Bulls a big advantage.
Over/Under Pick for Southern Miss vs. Buffalo
- Under (4 units)
The under is the play here. The defenses should dictate the pace from the start, as defense usually controls games early in the season. Shooting eyes are often off a bit to open the season, and with new players on both rosters, chemistry will not be at its mid-season level and will likely cause more turnovers. Good low in this one.
