USM Looking Towards The Future

USM won the 2022 Conference USA championship for the regular season, with 43 games and only lost 16. There were awarded the number one seed in the Hattiesburg Regional followed by LSU, Kennesaw State, and Army.

LSU +100
Southern Miss +140
Kennesaw State +700

Coral Gables Regional Winner

Miami FL -110
Ole Miss +180
Arizona +375
