Rebels look to corral Mustangs
The Ole Miss men’s hoops team will face its final non-conference opponent tonight in SMU before the start of its Southeastern Conference schedule on Saturday. The Rebels (11-3 overall) travel to Dallas to take on the Mustangs (9-4) and face yet another different style of offense and a team that Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy is hoping will be beneficial for his team moving forward. Tipoff for tonight’s game at Moody Coliseum is set for 7 and the game can be heard locally on 93.7 FM. (January 5, 2011, Page 6)
Rebels in hot pursuit of former WVU QB
Ole Miss may add another quarterback to the roster if former West Virginia quarterback Barry Brunetti chooses to play for the Rebels and coach Houston Nutt. The 6-foot, 200-pound Brunetti, who could enroll at Ole Miss for the spring semester, is expected to decide where he will play in the coming days. The Memphis native was the backup to Geno Smith for the Mountaineers this past season as a freshman and decided to transfer after his mother, Elna, was in a car accident this past year.
According to the (Memphis) Commercial Appeal, the decision to transfer has been brewing for quite a while now.

McNeal, Pettis make pledges to UL-L
The opportunity to play on the same college football team for an up-and-coming head coach was something Oxford High standouts Larry Pettis and DeShaun McNeal wanted to explore further in the future. Both Pettis and McNeal were given that opportunity to continue their football careers by Louisiana-Lafayette coach Mark Hudspeth recently and the duo decided that becoming Ragin’ Cajuns was something that suited them best.
McNeal, a 6-foot-2, 205-pound wide receiver, broke Oxford’s single-season receiving record with 81 catches for 1,231 yards and 15 touchdowns this season despite not playing football since he was a freshman. Pettis, a 6-4, 250-pound tight end, also had a great season for the Chargers in 2010 as he caught 29 passes for 409 yards and three touchdowns.
Both felt like playing together under Hudspeth, who got to know the duo when he coached wide receivers at Mississippi State, was the best overall option. (January 4, 2011, Page 7)
Rebels learn, gain win at same time
A 68-59 win over Southeastern Louisiana wasn’t the only thing that the Ole Miss Rebels gained at C.M. “Tad” Smith Coliseum Sunday night. In the process of earning the win over the Lions, the Rebels (11-3 overall) continued to learn how to overcome a team that forced them to slow down offensively by limiting their shot opportunities and chances for offensive rebounds and putbacks.

Kendrick says Rebs right fit for future
The fit just feels right for Jelan Kendrick.
During halftime of the Ole Miss men’s game game against Southeastern Louisiana on Sunday, the former McDonald’s All-American and newest member of the Rebels was made available to the media for the first time.
While much has been made of Kendrick’s up-and-down prep career and his short-lived tenure at the University of Memphis, the transfer declined to discuss his past, instead focusing on the future and where he hopes to take the Ole Miss basketball program. (January 3, 2011, Page 6)
Rebels overcome early woes, down VU
The first half of Sunday’s game between the Ole Miss women and Vanderbilt had all the makings of a letdown reminiscent of the Lady Rebels’ lopsided loss to Miami (Fla.) in mid-December, where 29 turnovers led to 33 points for the Lady Canes.
On Sunday, 14 turnovers led to 15 points for Vanderbilt and by halftime, the Lady Rebels trailed by 16 points.
Following a spirited halftime speech by head coach Renee Ladner, however, the Lady Rebels flipped the switch and an 11-4 run eventually led to a 72-67 victory for Ole Miss in its Southeastern Conference opener at the C.M. “Tad” Smith Coliseum. (January 3, 2011, Page 7)
