Sports writers predict upcoming basketball season

Grant Chighizola

Year five of the Doc Sadler era for the Southern Miss men’s basketball team is perhaps the most important one yet. After a 16-18 overall record in 2017-2018, which included an upset 71-68 overtime win over Middle Tennessee State in the Conference USA Men’s Basketball Tournament, there is some optimism heading into this season.

Key on the list is the amount of returning playmakers that the Golden Eagles return for 2018-2019. Redshirt seniors Dominic Magee, Kevin Holland and Tyree Griffin, along with true senior Cortez Edwards will form the playmaking core for the team this season.
