Summary

Southern Miss point guard Andre Curbelo has been dismissed from the team, following a series of incidents that included being ejected after receiving technical fouls. This decision follows a lackluster season where Southern Miss currently holds a record of 10-19.

Curbelo’s college career has been tumultuous; he was once the 2021 Big Ten Sixth Man of the Year averaging impressive stats at Illinois before his journey took declines with injuries and team transfers.

Impact

This dismissal potentially marks an end to Curbelo’s rocky path in collegiate basketball, as he dealt with setbacks that affected his performance and team relationships. His departure is seen as a significant hit to the Southern Miss team amidst struggles this season.
