Southern Miss achieves feat as most improved basketball team in NCAA history
The 2022-23 Southern Miss men‘s basketball team has etched itself in history as the most-improved team in Division I history.
According to NCAA records, which date back to 1974, the Golden Eagles’ +18 improvement is now considered the best of all time. To determine games improved, the NCAA adds the difference in victories between the two seasons to the difference in losses and then divides the total by two. Postseason contests are included in the calculation.
Southern Miss, which won the 2022-23 Sun Belt Regular-Season Championship while posting a 25-8 record, improved from 7-26 the previous year. The Golden Eagles also achieved a perfect 15-0 record at home.
USM’s momentous season ended with a first-round exit in the National Invitation Tournament against UAB, led by former Ole Miss head coach Andy Kennedy.
The previous most-improved team in NCAA Division I history was the 2013 Towson team, which improved by +17.5.

SUMMARY: A tragic crash on Highway 98 in Pike County, Mississippi, resulted in the deaths of two individuals in a Ford Ranger truck, which collided with a bus carrying members of the Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College’s Band of Gold. The incident occurred on September 19 as the band was heading to a football game against South Mississippi Community College. Fortunately, none of the students on the bus were injured.

SUMMARY: Calhoun City, Mississippi, has voted for the first time to permit the sale of alcohol, with a 4-to-1 decision influenced by House Bill 776. Mayor Marshall W. Coleman believes this will enhance local safety by reducing the need to travel for alcohol and could provide economic benefits, keeping tax revenues within the town. The decision reflects a push from citizens and business owners, despite controversy. Coleman has consulted with other towns that have seen growth after allowing alcohol sales. Local businesses are eager to start, aiming for sales by November, following the successful example set by nearby Bruce in 2022.

SUMMARY: Isaac Smith, a safety for Mississippi State, emerged as a football standout at Itawamba Agricultural High School, attracting Division I offers. Coming from an athletic family, with his father playing at Ole Miss, Isaac’s first offer also came from there. However, he felt a strong connection with Mississippi State and its late coach Mike Leach, who he admired for his kindness, including attending a game when Isaac wasn’t playing. Following Leach’s unexpected passing, Isaac sought guidance through prayer and ultimately chose Mississippi State, feeling called to be there. Today, he remains committed, regardless of coaching changes.
