Ole Miss traveled to Knoxville Wednesday night to play a basketball game. The Rebels were to take on the 18th ranked Tennessee Volunteers in their SEC opener. They were tasked with taking down an overrated Rick Barnes team without their senior point guard Jarkel Joiner, which ultimately proved to be crucial as Ole Miss turned the ball over a season high 27 times.
The tightly contested loss on the road probably says more about Tennessee than providing any hope that Ole Miss hoops could make some noise. Simply put, this team just doesn’t have it.
