OXFORD, Miss. — Ole Miss' Kermit Davis is getting another crack at a big-time men's basketball coaching job nearly 30 years after the lowest point in his career.
Two months into the season, Davis has the Rebels in the Top 25 for the first time since 2013.
It's been a long road back to the top for the veteran coach.
In 1991 he resigned at Texas A&M amid an NCAA investigation which resulted in Davis receiving a two-year show cause penalty. Now, his No. 18 Rebels will try to earn their 11th win in 12 games when they face Arkansas on Saturday.
