Mindful of their RPI, Rebels head into ‘pothole’ season
COLUMN: Barring the unforeseen, Ole Miss basketball stands to break their NCAA Tournament drought and make the postseason tournament for the first time since March of 2002.
That’s barring the unforeseen, mind you, and the unforeseen — player arrests, exploding ACLs — have become sort of… predictable for this program under Kennedy. (more…) (February 12, 2013, Page 7)
Rebels roll past short-handed MSU
It’s not often that a 93-75 win over a team’s biggest rival doesn’t appear as good as the score indicates, but, that was the feel Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy had after Wednesday night’s matchup with Mississippi State at C.M. “Tad” Smith Coliseum. (more…) (February 7, 2013, Page 9)
Kennedy ready for ‘improved’ Bulldogs
This past week was one to forget for the Ole Miss men’s basketball team. Not only did the Rebels lose to both Kentucky and at No. 2 Florida, they lost reserve forward Aaron Jones for the season and senior Nick Williams for an unknown amount of time. Oh yeah, and the Rebels also dropped from No. 16 in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll to out on Monday.
Ole Miss (17-4 overall, 6-2 in the Southeastern Conference) will be able to erase the pain of last week with a win over Mississippi State (7-13, 2-6) tonight at C.M. “Tad” Smith Coliseum. Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. and the game can be seen locally on CSS.
The Bulldogs are coming off a tough one-point loss to LSU and Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy felt like first-year coach Rick Ray had his team playing a lot better despite some recent setbacks.

Noel swats away Rebs’ perfect SEC mark
Kentucky’s Nerlens Noel made sure Ole Miss’ undefeated start to its Southeastern Conference schedule came to an abrupt end Tuesday night. The freshman center blocked a UK record 12 shots and was single handily the difference in the Wildcats’ 87-74 win over the No. 16 Rebels in front of a capacity crowd of 9,232 at C.M. “Tad” Smith Coliseum and a national TV audience watching via ESPN.

Rebels don’t miss chance at history
AUBURN, Ala. — Ole Miss made history on a night when it was plagued with a bevy of misses at the free-throw line. The No. 23 Rebels overcame a dreadful 4-for-17 shooting night from the charity stripe Saturday to defeat the Auburn Tigers 63-61 in front of a capacity and hostile crowd of 8,740 at Auburn Arena.

Henderson’s second half keys Rebels
Ole Miss was so cold from the floor in the first half of Thursday night’s game with Tennessee at C.M. “Tad” Smith Coliseum that Marshall Henderson almost couldn’t pull his team out of the funk. The operative word in that statement is almost. (more…) (January 25, 2013, Page 8A)
