In his first season in Oxford, Rebel head coach Kermit Davis got Ole Miss back in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2015. That should be worrisome for the rest of the SEC.
Kermit Davis is one of the best coaches in college basketball, he turned Middle Tennessee State into a mid major power and now he’s in a power five conference. And in even better news, Davis will have the league’s top returning scorer, Breein Tyree, at his disposal.
The Rebs may not have the talent to get finish in the SEC’s top four and get a double bye, but Ole Miss will definitely be that second tier team that nobody in the league can afford to look past.
