Kennedy still tinkering with minutes

Ole Miss’ basketball season may be just getting started in terms of the schedule, but minutes and playing time are apparently starting to shorten as the Rebels move into December.

Friday afternoon’s matchup with Lipscomb at C.M. “Tad” Smith Coliseum will be another opportunity for some players to showcase their abilities to coach Andy Kennedy, who is trying hard to figure out a consistent rotation before the team is off for a week prior to a home meeting with Rutgers in the Big East/SEC Challenge. (November 22, 2012, Page 8A)

Second-half spark gets Rebs rolling

Energy and passion are two things that Ole Miss men’s basketball coach Andy Kennedy was looking for from his team in the second half of Tuesday’s game with Coastal Carolina at C.M. “Tad” Smith Coliseum. The Rebels played with marginal passion and energy in the first half and as a result, they trailed the Chanticleers 39-36 at the break. (more…) (November 14, 2012, Page 6)

Red-hot Redbirds end Rebs’ season

Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy didn’t have to look at the stat sheet after Wednesday night’s game to know that Illinois State had just shot the lights out from floor and behind the 3-point arc. About the only thing Kennedy was unsure about was whether the 17 3-pointers the Redbirds made was C.M. “Tad” Smith Coliseum record or not.

Unfortunately for Kennedy and the Rebels, the 17 makes were a new arena record, for any team, and the end result of the hot-shooting night for the Redbirds was a 96-93 overtime loss for the Rebels in the first round of the Men’s National Invitation Tournament. (March 15, 2012, Page 6)

Rebels feel fortunate to still be playing

Sunday’s NCAA Tournament selection didn’t turn out the way Ole Miss senior forward Terrance Henry was hoping it would.

Even though Henry and fellow teammate Nick Williams felt like the Rebels were a longshot to make the field of 68, there was still some hope until the final selections were made. (March 13, 2012, Page 6)

Rebels run out of gas against Vandy

NEW ORLEANS — Ole Miss’ Terrance Henry and Murphy Holloway said fatigue wasn’t a factor in Saturday’s 65-53 loss to Vanderbilt in the semifinals of the Southeastern Conference Tournament. Their stats following the Rebels’ third game in three days at the New Orleans Arena said something completely different.

Henry and Holloway didn’t crack double digits in scoring in the loss and neither one was able to record an offensive rebound in a setback that dropped the Rebels to 20-13 on the year and sent Vanderbilt on to the title game Sunday that ended with the Commodores defeating No. 1 Kentucky 71-64. (March 12, 2012, Page 2B)
