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.

Rebels still win despite sluggish start
Energy and effort were issues for the Ole Miss Rebels on Tuesday night in their game with McNeese State at C.M. “Tad” Smith Coliseum.
While the Rebels were able to find another gear in the second half to post a 76-50 win over the Cowboys, coach Andy Kennedy thought the overall production and energy level was less than ideal. Senior Murphy Holloway ended up leading the Rebels with 15 points on a 7-for-7 night shooting from the floor, but overall the offense struggled to find much of a rhythm. (November 21, 2012, Page 6)

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)

Williams has career day in win over AU
NEW ORLEANS — In an arena where NBA stars shine on a regular basis, Ole Miss junior guard Nick Williams performed like a professional standout for the Rebels Thursday night.
Williams led the resurgent Rebels to a 68-54 win over Auburn in the first round of the 2012 Southeastern Conference Men’s Basketball Tournament by scoring a career-high 22 points. Williams, who came in averaging just over 10 points a game, was sensational shooting the ball from the field. He made mid-range jumpers — the shots he feels most comfortable taking and making — as well as four 3-pointers on eight attempts. (more…) (March 9, 2012, Page 6A)

Rebels flip the script on LSU
Ole Miss’ roller coaster season in men’s basketball produced a particularly high moment Saturday afternoon at C.M. “Tad” Smith Coliseum.
After losing three straight Southeastern Conference games, including a disappointing 73-60 loss to Tennessee on the road Wednesday, the Rebels responded with their biggest margin of victory in an SEC game with a 72-48 triumph over LSU. Ole Miss (16-12 overall, 6-8 SEC) did everything on coach Andy Kennedy’s checklist to earn a win over the Tigers, who defeated the Rebels 81-55 in the SEC opener for both teams on Jan. 7.
