Rebels gain experience with latest win

A balanced scoring ledger, led by senior Chris Warren’s 18 points, stood out on the box score in Ole Miss’ 101-69 win over Mississippi Valley State Monday night at C.M. “Tad” Smith Coliseum. But as gaudy as the Rebels’ shooting percentage or point total were against the out-manned Delta Devils, the two most important things accomplished from Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy’s perspective was getting 11 players quality minutes and earning yet another win. (December 14, 2010, Page 8)

Gaskins scores 24 in Rebels’ victory

Just call Trevor Gaskins the rainmaker because it was raining 3s at the C.M. “Tad” Smith Coliseum on Friday evening.

Gaskins knocked down six of 11 3-pointers to finish with a career-high 24 points as the Ole Miss Rebels men’s basketball team topped Big Ten opponent Penn State 84-71. (November 29, 2010, Page 4B)

Ole Miss can’t rebound to top Dayton Flyers

The Ole Miss Rebels didn’t want to use the injury to forward Reginald Buckner as an excuse for their 78-71 overtime loss to Dayton on Saturday at C.M. “Tad” Smith Coliseum.

Sure, there were other issues — like the Rebels 8-for-16 peformance from free-throw line one game after converting 22 of 23 opportunities against Murray State — but after Buckner went down with what head coach Andy Kennedy called a bruise to the inside of his right knee at the 19:13 mark of the second half, the Rebels were never the same on the boards. (November 22, 2010, Page 3B)

Rebels rebound to top ASU in opener

Warren’s 3-pointer from the top of the key with 4:30 left gave Ole Miss a 58-50 advantage — the Rebels’ largest lead of the game until his dunk in the final second. (November 15, 2010, Page 6B)

Kennedy likes team’s potential

A rested Andy Kennedy will lead his Ole Miss Rebels into the 2010-11 season a little over a month from now. Until then, he will lead the Rebels through team practices, which started today.

Kennedy, who helped lead the Rebels to the NIT Final Four last year, talked highly about his team heading into the start of drills and thought the work they have done so far is a good foundation for things to come. (October 15, 2010, Page 6A)

Rebels will count on Williams, newcomers

This offseason has been an exceptionally busy one for the Ole Miss men’s basketball team.

And not exactly in a good way.

Shortly after the Rebels’ loss to Dayton that eliminated them from the National Invitation Tournament, sophomore Terrico White and junior Eniel Polynice declared for the draft, and sophomore forward Murphy Holloway announced he was going to transfer to be closer to his family.

Add into the mass exodus equation that senior forward DeAundre Cranston graduated and forwards Kevin Cantinol and DeAngelo Riley won’t be returning next season, and it becomes apparent why the Rebels are hoping several newcomers are going to be able to step in and contribute immediately.

During Monday’s Southeastern Conference coaches teleconference, Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy mentioned several newcomers he’s hoping can contribute this upcoming season. (June 30, 2010, Page 8)
